💨 Abstract

Chinese authorities detained over 20 Uyghur educators from a college in Xinjiang in 2017 as part of a crackdown on scholars and cultural figures. One of them, historian Ghojaniyaz Yollugh Tekin, was given a 17-year prison sentence for his research and beliefs about Uyghur identity. At least 25 more educators from the same institution were also detained.
