Muslin detentions updates
My running bibliography on the Xinjiang concentration camps has been updated, at:

Also, three important things to report from yesterday:
1. In Geneva, in her FIRST speech, the new UN chair of the human rights commission, Michelle Bachelet (former Chilean president who was once herself a political prisoner), expressed grave concerns about the Xinjiang camps, and demanded full access to all of China, including Xinjiang, for her high office:

2. Big report from Human Rights Watch was released: A massive refutation of the Chinese govt denials of these atrocities:
“Eradicating Ideological Viruses” - China’s Campaign of Repression Against Xinjiang’s Muslims. HRW, September 9, 2018. https://www.hrw.org/report/2018/09/09/eradicating-ideological-viruses/chinas-campaign-repression-against-xinjiangs

https://www.hrw.org/news/2018/09/10/interview-chinas-crackdown-turkic-muslims
3. At my university we held a roundtable discussion with three faculty, which went very well, big crowd, including great Q&A:

http://cornellsun.com/2018/09/10/professors-call-on-cornell-to-speak-up-on-chinese-detainment-of-more-than-one-million-muslim-minorities/
My own main message was: Let's not be silent.
