The Human Rights Watch searches found a total over 1,000 unique files on about 1,400 Urumqi residents’ phones that matched those on the police master list.

So was HRW like surveilling people’s phones or something? lol.

Some of the numbers in this reporting have been rounded up so that the authorities cannot identify the source of the leak.

LMAO. “We’re making up numbers to protect our sources”.

The analysis of the metadata of this master list reveals photo, audio, and video files that contain violent content, but also other material that has no evident connection to violence.

Are violent or gruesome, including content depicting beheadings or forms of torture that appear to have been carried out by armed groups such as Mexican and other drug cartels, Chechen fighters, or the Islamic State (ISIS);

Involve foreign organizations, including the East Turkistan Independence Movement, which the Chinese government labels a separatist group; the World Uyghur Congress, a group run by Uyghur exiles; and a Uyghur-language broadcasts by Radio Free Asia, a US government-funded media outlet;

Human Rights Watch further analyzed those 1,400 phones that were flagged by police:

Nearly 42 percent of phones contained violent or gruesome material; 12 percent of phones contained common Islamic religious material;

The Chinese government outrageously yet dangerously conflates Islam with violent extremism

Pretty sure this is what YOU’RE doing, HRW.

And to top it all off, they only have evidence that this happened for 9 months from 2017 to 2018.
