She went on to become UAA Vice President and was the first Uyghur reporter to broadcast daily to the Uyghur region, for Radio Free Asia, in 1998

Very serious person.

    Rushan Abbas

    Abbas worked as a contractor for the U.S. military aiding in the interrogations of Uyghur detainees at Guantanamo Bay.

    Very serious activist activity of aiding the torture of those you're "advocating" for.
