My partner is Lebanese and one issue that has consistently come up with any discussion of Marxism (and honestly the online left as a whole) is Uyghur genocide denial. Essentially, they see it as proof of (white) western leftists being hypocrites and having a glaring Islamophobia problem. I'm inclined to defer to them, but at the same time, I've found myself often politically aligning with MLs on other issues, and I know very little about Chinese internal politics or the Uyghurs myself, so I would greatly appreciate being able to get an understanding of what the ML perspective is.

Could you send the image of the inmates from behind, and its source? I was aware of it being a drug rehab facility, and the image existing on the Xinjiang government website but not the back picture.

I can't seem to find the raw image itself but here's a video debunking the genocide that showcases it:

The relevant part starts around the 5 minute mark where he showcases both images; the well-known one from the front and the lesser-known one from the back.
