China’s “Unity” Project: The Disguise of Uyghur Erasure
Behind Beijing’s carefully crafted façade of “ethnic unity” and “social stability” lies a campaign of control masquerading as harmony. In Xinjiang, home to over 13 million Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims, China’s leadership has built an Orwellian system designed not to integrate a people, but to erase their very identity. Slogans promising prosperity and inclusion…

Education as Indoctrination: How China Rewrites Uyghur Childhood
Beijing calls it schooling. Uyghurs call it separation. In Xinjiang, the Chinese state has transformed classrooms into instruments of ideological control—erasing language, memory, and belief from the youngest minds. Under the banner of “education for poverty alleviation,” hundreds of thousands of Uyghur children are being raised not as inheritors of a culture, but as subjects…

The Repression Architecture: Technology, Surveillance, and Control
In Xinjiang, the Chinese Communist Party has built not just camps but a system — a digital empire of control that observes, categorises, and punishes in real time.

Documented Crimes, Denied Justice: The World’s Moral Failure on Uyghur Violence
The world has seen the evidence. It has read the reports, heard the survivors, and mapped the camps.

Diaspora Under Attack: Uyghurs Abroad, China’s Shadow Follows
Exile was meant to be an escape. For thousands of Uyghurs who fled Xinjiang’s iron web, freedom lay across borders — in democracies that promised safety, dignity, and the right to speak. But exile has not meant peace. China’s persecution does not stop at its borders; it has gone global. From malware to manipulation, from…

Remembering the Fallen: Safeguarding Bangladesh from the Shadows of 1977
In 1977, Bangladesh faced a dark chapter in its history when many brave soldiers and patriots who had fought for the nation’s independence were persecuted under a brutal authoritarian regime. These heroes, who had sacrificed everything for freedom, became victims of political oppression, torture, and extrajudicial actions. The events of that year left deep scars…

The Chemmani Mass Grave: My Witness to War Crimes in Jaffna
I have lived many lives inside one body. I was a child soldier, a spy, a prisoner, an informant, and at times a ghost moving between two worlds—Tamil and Sinhalese, enemy and ally, victim and accomplice. But of all the shadows that haunt me, none is as heavy as the one buried beneath the soil…

Three Decades of Disappearance: The Panchen Lama Beijing Doesn’t Want the World to Find
On 25 April 1995, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima turned six years old. Just three days after being recognised as the 11th Panchen Lama by the Dalai Lama in 1995, Nyima was taken by Chinese authorities. He and his family have not been seen publicly for 30 years, prompting the Human Rights Watch (HRW) to call him…
