“one lesson authoritarian governments rarely learn is that they give birth to the very people who will eventually reform or revolutionize the political system simply because of the sheer brutality and uncompromising idiocy of such regimes. Through mistreatment and imprisonment, these authoritarian governments will make people like Professor Tohti larger than life and inspire others to follow his footsteps to stand up to their inherently unjust rule. If Professor Tohti dies in Chinese prison, Beijing will make a historic martyr of him. If he is released sometime in the distant future, then he will most likely become a more confident and courageous spokesperson for the long-suffering Uyghur people. Whether Professor Tohti eventually dies in prison or is released, he is already a transformational figure, a shining light in the darkest corner of the world.“－－ huffingtonpost/alim-a-seytoff/why-beijing-fears-uyghur-_b_5549499.html
