“A Really Stupid Lie in a Small Village”

Mukaddas

Mukaddas talks about her last trip back to the Uyghur Region: Police and others constantly check her husband’s identification because he is foreign. Authorities try to move villagers out of their ancestral village by falsely telling them the region is volcanically active. The government builds major pipelines through the mountains but no one knows what they’re for.
