One of the horrifying aspects of China's repression of Uyghurs is that other countries cooperate with it. Consider, for example, #Cambodia. When a Uyghur man fled from #China to Cambodia, only to be enslaved in a #cyberscam compound, what did the Cambodian authorities do when they "rescued" him? Did they treat him as a #refugee? No! They sent poor Abdureqip Rahman back to China! The Washington Post has details in a paywalled article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/interactive/2024/china-uyghur-muslim-genocide-cambodia-deportation/

Organized crime originating in southeast Asian is using industrial-scale scam centers to rapidly scale cyber crime efforts globally.
Generating approx. $30B USD annually, these syndicates are the "definitive market leaders in cyber-enabled fraud, money laundering, and underground banking globally".
Not surprising these crime syndicates are actively developing key infrastructure and infiltrating legitimate financial industries - particularly those related to online payment processing, blockchain technology, and cryptocurrency trading and exchange services.

On s'est beaucoup moqué d'elle sur les Internets avec cette histoire de #FauxBradPitt mais j'ai trouvé peu d'analyse qui parlait du contexte, de la #solitude d'Anne.
Je trouve cette vidéo de #LéoDuff très complète, sourcée, avec la bonne dose d'empathie MAIS attention au passage sur les usines à scams birmanes, c'est très cru sur le traitement des victimes de ce côté là.
