Ekpar Asat disappeared into Xinjiang’s detention system after a U.S. exchange program.

Der Gesundheitszustand des inhaftierten Uiguren Ekpar Asat verschlechtert sich weiter.

Dina Temple-Raston, the host of the “Click Here” podcast, reports on the erasure of Ekpar Asat, who wanted to build a digital space for his Uyghur community.

Ekpar Asat dreamed of building a digital home for his people—a place where Uyghurs could share music, stories, and a sense of belonging. Beijing saw that dream as a threat. They erased the network, and then they erased him. But what happened in Xinjiang wasn’t only about one man or one community. It has become a blueprint for how repression spreads—far beyond China’s borders. ERASED is a four-part investigation into how China is wiping Uyghur culture from existence — one law, one app, one person, one website at a time. From shuttered schools to vanishing websites, ERASED uncovers an authoritarian regime’s campaign to delete a culture — and the unlikely rebels racing to stop it.
