Not the first and won't be the last time this has happened. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony



Not sure what you are implying. Are you saying that we cannot believe this man's testimony?


I believe Uighurs have been rounded up and forced to watch indoctrination videos, in a gross violation of their human rights. Forced sterilization seems plausible too given the history of the one child policy.

I don't believe this stuff about torture cages. The Chinese government is trying to subdue the Uighurs by torturing them for 20 days and then... just letting them go?


> His wife had sent endless letters to the UN and Foreign Ministry of Kazakhstan, where he was previously naturalised. She had also sat for an interview with Free Asia Radio, all of which pressured two Kazakh Ambassadors to finally visit him and soon after the Chinese authorities to free him.


No, it's more like Latif Yahia.

Nayirah was propaganda.

Omir Bekali is in the unfortunate situation where when someone is abused, they will receive more help the worse their abuse which incentivizes exaggeration when people are at their worst.

But on a forum like HN where people simply don't understand the world even at a base level it's hard to know how to deal with these situations.

China needs to be stopped, so do you let these lies continue?


What leads you to belive that he is lying?


This is disgusting, the level of genocide denial in this thread is something I would not expect to find on HN. We literally have satellite images of these camps, videos of the abuse and still people like you deny. @dang, do we have rules about this?
