The New Yorker just published an essay I wrote. This is the first time I have written about my family story. Words can not express my gratitude, especially to @RohdeD

李老师遭监视案侦查终结：10人涉案，嫌疑人被指翻查垃圾、信箱
10月28日，意大利安莎社报道，米兰检方已完成对10名嫌疑人的侦查，准备申请将案件交付审判。
检方指控，相关人员对李老师实施跟踪、监控和威胁，其中4名中国人与北京当局保持持续联系。
意媒称，嫌疑人翻查李老师丢弃的垃圾、取走信箱中的材料并送往中国。
李老师还曾收到“我要砍下你的头”等死亡威胁，其在中国的亲友也遭到施压。
据意大利国家广播电视台RAI报道，部分涉案侨团负责人被指受中国警方委托，协调寻找、监视异议人士，并与外交人员及统战部门成员保持联系。
再一名曾负责监视骚扰李老师的中国“间谍”被意大利驱逐
8月26日，意大利媒体《Il Foglio》报道，上周六，一名曾涉嫌骚扰和监视李老师的四十多岁的浙江女子，在试图携8岁女儿从米兰马尔彭萨机场入境时，被意大利驱逐。
据悉，她是意大利某华人商会的一员，曾受委托及收取报酬，监视一名在意大利的中国异议人士。我们从相关渠道获悉，这名被监视的中国异议人士即为李老师。
根据相关法律，未来15年内她都不得再返回意大利。其欧盟长期居留也被撤销。
都灵警方总调查与特别行动部门（Digos）经过去几个月调查，揭开了一个主要针对旅意中国异议人士李老师的恶意骚扰网络。
今年3月，曾有8名男女被驱逐，这些人被指控卷入针对李老师的跨国镇压行动。
意大利内政部打算继续在对华问题上采取“强硬路线”。这一立场大致始于四年前 Safeguard Defenders 的一份报告揭开北京这套网络之时。该报告称，当时在意大利发现了多达11个中国警察站。
意大利如今的目标仍是阻止这些网络稳定扎根，并逐个找出那些以“警察”为幌子的间谍。
我们连哭的权利都没有。

I stand firmly with @JewherIlham who has fought tirelessly for the freedom of her father, my father, and of countless Uyghurs. Every single world leader with principle should echo her call and press Beijing.
Say it loud, say it clear, say it again and again: #FreeIlhamTohti
12 years ago today, my father, Ilham Tohti, was sentenced to life in prison for “separatism”—a charge that bears no resemblance to the work he dedicated his life to.
My father is an Uyghur economist, scholar, writer, educator, husband, father, and believer. Above all, he was a man who devoted his life and his own resources to fostering dialogue, supporting his community, bridging divides, and helping people understand one another.
He is not the criminal the Chinese government has portrayed him to be. A man who spent his life building bridges should never have been locked behind bars.
For 12 years, our family has lived with his absence. For 9 years, we have had no family visit with him.
Today, on the 12th anniversary of his life sentence, I once again call on the Chinese government: Release Ilham Tohti.
Let my father come home. Let him read, write, think, teach, and love his family freely again! #FreeIlhamTohti

We've published a new analytical review on prisoner fates and numbers: blog.shahit.biz/2026/09/01/l…
The focus is on the situation today, and though data is very limited, it appears safe to say that at least ~200000 remain incarcerated (since 2017-2018).

A Jeju police officer was arrested today for deliberately shutting down missing-person cases — not one or two, but roughly 298 of them. He told families their loved ones were safe, then quietly deleted the cases from the missing-persons system.
The case cracked open because of Jang Mi-ran's disappearance, which turned out to expose a far larger cover-up.
Jang Mi-ran, 37, went missing on May 12.
Her boyfriend reported it, and the officer assigned to the case told him he'd reached her, that she was safe, and that she didn't want her location shared — then closed the file that same night. It later emerged there was no record police had ever actually contacted her.
Once the officer was identified and implicated, investigators went back through his past cases. Between August 22 and 24, they found four bodies of people who had been reported missing — Jang Mi-ran among them, found 104 days after she disappeared, just a few minutes' walk from where she'd been staying. The other three were men, two in their 60s and one in his 70s.
Since prosecutors' authority to conduct supplementary investigation was abolished, public anxiety has been mounting over how a single officer could kill hundreds of cases with almost no way for anyone to catch it.
