They will come for me at night. Uyghur poet on genocide in modern China

What does a person feel who awaits arrest every night? It is impossible to get used to living in fear, but it only gets worse when one by one friends and acquaintances begin to disappear... The long-standing interest in politics... and activism for the rights of Uyghurs—a Turkic-speaking people living in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China—led poet Takhir Khamut to imprisonment, torture, and forced emigration to the USA. In his memoirs, he describes the atmosphere of repression and systematic discrimination prevailing in Xinjiang, where tens of thousands are persecuted and end up in "re-education camps." His book is not only a personal story but also a living testimony of one of the most acute humanitarian crises in the modern world.
