The eyes of the world are on China -- and not just to watch the Beijing Winter Olympics. China is under intense global scrutiny for its treatment of its Muslim Uyghur population -- a series of persecutions collectively labeled a genocide by the U.S. Department of State. For human rights attorney and Uyghur advocate Rayhan Asat, China’s abuses are personal. She says her brother was secretly arrested by the government and subjected to indefinite solitary confinement. She joins Hari Sreenivasan to share her brother’s story and to discuss why some are calling these Games the Genocide Olympics.
Originally aired on February 11, 2022.
