Xinjiang University President Tashpolat Tiyip Sentenced to Death in Secret Trial
Somehow the scariest part was the erasure.<p><i>Articles that praised Tiyip’s achievements are now being systematically deleted from the internet.  His name and legacy are being erased, even from the list of presidents of Xinjiang University. Ironically, Sheng Shicai, the Guomindang leader who ruled Xinjiang from 1933-1944, who was described as one of the most evil traitors by the Communist Party, is still listed as a president of the school from 1942-1944. Yet, there is now no trace of Tashpolat Tiyip’s name.</i><p>Almost a caricature of an authoritarian approach to dealing with an undesirable.
