A 2018 what BBC? A 2018 what? Forget to invent that part of the story?
The only source of names, details, quotes and photos in the entire article is the Dui Hua Foundation, an NGO headquartered in San Francisco and funded by, firstly a random bunch of Scandinavian foreign affairs offices, but more importantly the Smith Richardson Foundation, a front for pouring money into dozens of classic US policy ghoul think-tanks. Like, the fucking Jamestown Foundation, Volcker Alliance, Foreign Policy Research Institute, Center for Advanced Defense Studies, even the University of Chicago. This thing is clearly just yet another little goad for China, and I don't trust a single thing coming out of it.
Furthermore, based on the supposed "Xinjiang police files" (more about it here), I feel confident saying that woman's face is AI generated.
