I think she is lying.
> Tursun said she was forcibly sterilized in 2019 through a surgical procedure, along with hundreds of other Uighur women.
(2019) "Kalbinur Tursun, 36, entrusted five of her children to relatives when she left Xinjiang to give birth in Istanbul but has been unable to contact them for several years" - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/28/world/asia/china-xinjiang-children-boarding-schools.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/28/world/asia/china-xinjiang...
But happy for a logical explanation, since we are talking genocide after all.
- hntrader 6y agoIt's not clear to me from the quotes you provided why you think she's lying? She said she was sterilized in 2019 at the age of 36 after having given birth to five or more children. I don't see anything especially suspicious there.

Kalbinur Tursun might be a made up name being used for Uyghurs being interviewed. It's probably two people. I see now the Chinese government have stated the original Kalbinur Tursun was a pseudonym - http://jeddah.china-consulate.org/eng/zt/xjfk/t1767403.htm http://jeddah.china-consulate.org/eng/zt/xjfk/t1767403.htm
- hntrader 6y agoGot it. Something is off in the facts of that story for sure. She left Xinjiang in 2019, and the article says that she handed her children off as she left. Then the article claims she hasn't seen her children for years. These facts can't all be true simultaneously, at least one of them must be false, unless they mean she hasn't seen her children for 1.5 years?
