Not the first and won't be the last time this has happened. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony
I don't believe this stuff about torture cages. The Chinese government is trying to subdue the Uighurs by torturing them for 20 days and then... just letting them go?
Nayirah was propaganda.
Omir Bekali is in the unfortunate situation where when someone is abused, they will receive more help the worse their abuse which incentivizes exaggeration when people are at their worst.
But on a forum like HN where people simply don't understand the world even at a base level it's hard to know how to deal with these situations.
China needs to be stopped, so do you let these lies continue?
