On International Translation Day, honor the #Uyghur translators in China's internment camps. In 2012, the Chinese government celebrated Mo Yan, the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in literature. In 2017, it threw his Uyghur translator, poet Abduqadir Jüme, in a camp. https://t.co/lw7APc6E5d
