Description

What is it like to live in constant fear of being arrested every night? The terror becomes unbearable, especially when loved ones disappear. Poet Tahrir Hamut, who actively follows politics and defends the rights of Uyghurs, an ethnic minority in China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, faced arrest, torture, and was forced to leave his homeland, relocating to the United States. In his memoirs, he recounts the repression and systematic discrimination that take place in Xinjiang, where many people are persecuted and sent to “ideological re-education camps.” His audiobook serves not only as a personal account, but also as an important testimony to one of the gravest humanitarian crises of our time.
