"The year after she was arrested off the street, still in China, she was summoned to a police station and told that she needed to complete her training. "
if it's the same as prison rape in the US then what prison is she in? Further, prison rape is a crime.
"Her story is, tragically, not uncommon for members of the minority Uyghur religion, with Turkish roots, in President XI Jinping’s China. Since around 2016, they have been pulled off the street and sent to reeducation camps — where reports have surfaced about people being tortured, raped and even killed. They are sent there under the auspices of learning a trade and having their patriotism reinforced."
your attempt at equating this with the crime of prison rape in the US is reprehensible.
Interestingly enough, if something is bad in the US, it can also be bad elsewhere.
Even worse though, there are indications that this behavior is institutionally supported and desired in China. After all, if the local governors make rules to force non-Uyghur men to sleep in the bed of Uyghur women (even married ones) and offer forced sterilization otherwise, perhaps - just perhaps - you are peddling a false equivalence.
By the way, the latter meets the definition of genocide. In case you care.
I'm not sure what you're saying here. The parent is talking about rape and forced sterilization by people in positions of power in these camps. Your link is just talking about prison rape. There's no mention of forced sterilization. There is discussion of it talking about guards (4% of inmates are sexuality assaulted and <10% of those cases are by facility members) but the data is both old and low and the article talks about the US extending legal rights to inmates (2003 Prison Rape Elimination Act) whereas China's official claim is that there's nothing bad happening (they're just "reeducation campus"). No one is condoning prison rape in the US, especially prison rape by facility members. But these are drastically different things.
I don't know how someone can compare these things with a straight face.
This is just whataboutism. You can care about both these issues, it's allowed.
You've been breaking the HN guidelines egregiously with this sort of post. We ban accounts that do that. Please see these other explanations I just posted, and please don't do any more of this, regardless of how wrong others are or you feel they are.
Here is a recent article [0] on rape and forced sterilization of Uyghur women.
