In 2012, the Chinese government celebrated Mo Yan, the 1st Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in literature. In 2017, it threw his #Uyghur translator, poet Abduqadir Jüme, in an internment camp. He's still there. 3 years later, Abduqadir is still imprisoned. 3 years later, Nobel Prize-winning novelist Mo Yan has not said one word about the internment of his translator. 3 years later, one of Abduqadir's poems still echoes in my mind.
