Translation

A manga based on an account of a woman from China¡¯s Uighur minority titled ¡°What Has Happened to Me¡± by manga artist Tomomi Shimizu, 50, was released on Twitter and has gone viral. The woman, upon returning to her hometown after giving birth overseas, was (allegedly) detained at an airport and tortured. Readers who empathized with her translated the comic into English, Chinese, the Uighur language and others to spread the word (of her case). (The story) was also posted in public spaces in Hong Kong, where street clashes between protesters and police have intensified. The manga has received around 2.5 million views and over 86,000 retweets.

The Chinese authorities have (reportedly) oppressed Muslim Uighurs, under the pretext of ¡°counter-terrorism measures.¡± Documents obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists also appear to reveal the extent of the country¡¯s mass surveillance and detention.
