CIA head Gina Haspel has reportedly heard the audio that purportedly captures the interrogation and killing of Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate.

The New York Times also reports that a growing number of Uighur Americans “have had family members detained by the Chinese police and placed in the anti-Islam camp system that is spread across the northwest region of Xinjiang.”

Who can help the Uighurs?
