In Xinjiang, the large northwest region of China, the government
has imprisoned more than a million Uyghurs in re-education camps.
One of the incarcerated--whose sentence, unlike most others, has no
end date--is Ilham Tohti, an intellectual and economist, a prolific
writer, and formerly the host of a website, Uyghur Online. In 2014,
Tohti was arrested; accused of advocating separatism, violence, and
the overthrow of the Chinese government; subjected to a two-day
trial; and sentenced to life. Nothing has been heard from him
since. Here are Tohti's own words, a collection of his plain-spoken
calls for justice, scholarly explanations of the history of
Xinjiang, and poignant personal reflections. While his courage and
outspokenness about the plight of China's Muslim minorities is
extraordinary, these essays sound a measured insistence on peace
and just treatment for the Uyghurs. Winner of the PEN/Goldsmith
Freedom to Write Award and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of
Thought while imprisoned, this book is nonetheless the only way to
hear from a man who has been called "a Uyghur Mandela".
