    the uyghurs in the podcast are not being paid for their interviews.

    yes, their names are simple to type. Nigara and kewser are interviewed in part 1.

        that’s where the names are from.

        those are the people being interviewed.

        That’s why they used their names.

              Then provide some reliable sources and prove me wrong. Podcasts are shit and the two of them are sisters, which makes it one source. I found an article talking about their fashion brand and some of their “persecution” and it’s a load of nonsense which doesn’t fall within the realm of genocide.

              What happened was they embellished some vague childhood memories in order to boost their brand.

                your opinion of podcasts doesn’t make firsthand sources unreliable.

                'boost their brand"

                the uyghurs?

                    ohhh, so you’re pretending…it’s like a straw man thing you’re trying for?

                    okay, I’ll bite. what is your argument for uyghur genocide and how are you defining genocide?

      You don’t have full names?

      the uyghurs in the podcast are not being paid for their interviews.

      Yes that would be how it usually works, the “journalist” can therefore pretend to not know the individual they are interviewing has a stipend to do their speaking tour, paid for by the NED or some other CIA/State Department appendage.

        There’s Nigara, who lives in Istanbul and whose spoken Chinese is probably equivalent to that of a kindergartener and speaks more Turkish than Uyghur. I didn’t listen to the rest of the podcast cos I’m sleepy

          So you’re scared of anybody being able to check up on your claims and won’t provide an actual full name of someone making these claims to prevent anybody from being able to investigate the individual. You’re gonna need to work on your tactics because this is pretty pathetic, but if you keep it up I am sure somebody at USAID would take a look at your resume once their budget has been sorted out again.

            I provided links so that you could specifically check the verified sources.

                Yes, two of the sources are direct interviews with multiple uyghurs, as you requested.

                  I didn’t request podcasts, I have asked you many times now for the names of the people making the claims but curiously you refuse to provide them. It’s almost like you know it’s bullshit and you’re afraid of anybody checking up on it.

                    I gave you their real names. you don’t like their names.

                    those are real people that you can listen to be interviewed.
