Frankie Vetch, Coda, In Istanbul, the last Uyghur bookshops struggle to survive, 29 March 2023 “One Uyghur software developer, Memeteli Niyaz, has built a website that has around 3,000 free ebooks on it, 600 of which were sent from within China by an anonymous source. But Niyaz has already been forced to migrate the website to a new host after the one he was using received copyright complaints. He fears his website, too, will inevitably be shut down.”
