Even US concedes "confessions" during 3-1/2 years of secret CIA custody complete with torture aren't voluntary. But few buy its claim that confessions then secured by a Guantanamo "clean" team are voluntary either, as if no implicit threat of more torture. trib.al/4eHclOC pic.twitter.com/a2w706HiEa

In Xinjiang, China is perfecting a way to eradicate Muslim identity, detaining one million Muslims for "re-education" while subjecting the rest to an extraordinarily intrusive surveillance state. Where are the protests from Muslim nations? trib.al/8tHeLun

In China’s Xinjiang, "Mosques have been shut. Men are forbidden to grow beards, women may not wear head coverings and children are barred from prayers.” One million Muslims are detained. Yet most Muslim governments prefer Chinese money to defending Islam. trib.al/6F90nXt
