China sentences Uyghur scholar to life in jail
Rahile Dawut loses appeal against a charge of endangering state security, a rights group says.
A prominent Uyghur academic has been reportedly jailed for life by China for "endangering state security".
Rahile Dawut's sentence was confirmed after she appealed against a 2018, according to the US-based Dui Hua Foundation rights group.
The 57-year-old professor lost her appeal this month.
China has been accused of crimes against humanity against the Uyghur population and other mostly-Muslim ethnic groups in Xinjiang.
Human rights groups believe China has detained more than one million Uyghurs against their will over the past few years in a large network of what the state calls "re-education camps".

Such bs.
Can't USA and China both have problems? I don't get why it's always one or the other. Guess it helps not living in either.

All countries have their share of problems, but China seems to be actively looking for more of them.
Mainstream media should also come up at some point after letting them know whataboutism isn't a personality.
I won't be hearing what they have to say - defederating them improves the signal to noise ratio dramatically.
