Uighur exiles in Turkey persecuted by CCP's long arm
Istanbul has become the largest diaspora hub for Uighurs in exile. Uighurs and Turks share close linguistic, religious and cultural ties. For decades, Turkey has supported Uighur refugees fleeing from China.
Over the past few years, however, Turkish government's attitude towards #Uighur diaspora has changed due to China's growing diplomatic and economic influence over the country.
A dossier obtained by Axios dated from 2016 to 2017 provides rare proof that China is putting direct pressure on the Turkish government. According to these documents, the Chinese government accused Enver Turdi, a Uighur man fled to Turkey in 2014, of creating a pro-Islamic State website and participating in terrorism. China requested Turkey to arrest and extradite him. Turkey accepted the request and initiated criminal proceedings.
According to Turdi, what he did before escaping from China was just passing along information about China's abuses to the media and some overseas Uighur organisations. After his passport had expired, the #Turkey authorities placed him in a deportation facility and sent him to trial. A decision on his fate is still pending.
For the Chinese government, terrorism and extremism are just a convenient way to frame the religious and cultural activities of Uighurs. Signs of "religious extremism" include such behaviours as wearing long beards or refusing alcohol. This is why Hong Kong people are against the extradition bill and national security legislation.
Counter-terrorism and national security are often used as a pretext by #China to persecute dissidents, locally and abroad.
If the world does not stand up to China, the #CCP will extend its meddling hands beyond its boundaries and arrive on everyone's doorstep sooner or later.

Hong Kong is considering blocking Telegram
On Tuesday, the local newspaper Sing Tao Daily reported, which is the Commissioner for Personal Privacy Data is considering restricting access to Telegram for distributing personal data of government officials and citizens.
The authorities have so far avoided Internet restrictions similar to China, where many foreign services are banned by the great Chinese firewall.
A Telegram representative commented to Bloomberg about the situation:
Telegram supports freedom of speech and the right of users to protest peacefully. However, content that discloses personal information without consent (doxxing) is not allowed and is regularly removed.
In 2020, Telegram spokesman Mikhail Ravdovnikas reported that Telegram did not intend to process any data requests relating to its users in Hong Kong until there was an international consensus on current political changes in the city.
In September, Hong Kong tightened data privacy laws to prevent doxxing. Blocking Telegram could be a logical step in the fight against doxing after 2019 protesters released details about police officers and other government employees.
Officials will consider public opinion before making a decision.
