Jun292018

In this episode, CJ speaks with a Uyghur Muslim refugee, who asks only to be indentified as Mark. At this moment he’s in Australia desperately trying to be reunited with his wife and 9month old baby whom both remain in China. Worse – his wife is facing 5 years in prison for simply being a Uyghur Muslim, and the Chinese government plans to sell the baby once his wife is incarcerated in 60 days time.
