Conservatives globally absolutely hate educated people. This has always been true.

Conservatism is a plague of idiocy, oppression and death. This disease is overdue for a cure.

The Chinese government is a clown-show of evil.

I wonder how the Hexbearians will react, given they claim this isn’t even happening - will they admit this happened but claim it’s justified this time, given that apparently China is finally admitting they secretly sentenced her to life?

I predict lots of stupid emoji spam, and frequent changing of the subject.

Has this been poster anywhere they can see? Lemmy.world has defederated them. I wish we had an “other discussions” page to see where else a particular link has been posted, but I understand why that would be difficult to achieve in a decentralized environment.

Their apologia usually consists of two steps:

  1. The victims deserved it because they are Nazis
  2. What about America?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

BEIJING (AP) — A prominent Uyghur scholar specializing in the study of her people’s folklore and traditions has been sentenced to life in prison, according to a U.S.-based foundation that works on human rights cases in China.

Rahile Dawut was convicted on charges of endangering state security in December 2018 in a secret trial, the San Francisco-based Dui Hua Foundation said in a statement Thursday.

“The sentencing of Professor Rahile Dawut to life in prison is a cruel tragedy, a great loss for the Uyghur people, and for all who treasure academic freedom,” John Kamm, executive director of the Dui Hua Foundation, said in a statement.

She disappeared in late 2017 amid a brutal government crackdown aimed at the Uyghurs, a Turkic, predominately Muslim ethnicity native to China’s northwest Xinjiang region.

Dawut was internationally renowned for her work studying sacred Islamic sites and Uyghur cultural practices in Xinjiang and across Central Asia, authoring many articles and books and lecturing as a visiting scholar abroad, including at Cambridge and the University of Pennsylvania.

News of her life sentence shocked Freeman and other academics in Uyghur studies, as Dawut didn’t engage in activities opposing the Chinese government.
