German Book Premiere<\/h2>\n\n

For decades, the Uyghurs have been persecuted in China and interned in camps; the first states speak of genocide. Literary testimonies from those affected are rare, because only those who escape can report \u2013 like Tahir Hamut Izgil, who lives in exile. His moving report \u00bbWaiting to Be Arrested at Night\u00ab describes \u00bbthe unstoppable expansion of the primitive and high-tech surveillance machinery (…) that choked off Izgil and his peers at the behest of the Beijing central government\u00ab (Tagesspiegel). <\/p>\n\n

With Joshua Freeman, Tahir Hamut Izgil<\/p>\n\n

Moderated by Corenlius Dieckmann.<\/p>\n\n

The event will be held in Uyghur and English.<\/p>\n\n

\u00bbWaiting to be Arrested at Night\u00ab was translated from Uyghur into English by Joshua Freeman. \u00bbIn Erwartung meiner n\u00e4chtlichen Verhaftung\u00ab was translated from English into German by Ulrike Kretschmer.<\/p>\n\n

Joshua Freeman will translate from Uyghur to English for Tahir Hamut Izgil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"template":"","tags":[],"jct-program-properties":[],"jct-ilb-years":[906],"jct-program-categories":[796],"class_list":["post-85974","events-archive","type-events-archive","status-publish","hentry","jct-ilb-years-2024-en","jct-program-categories-evening-program"],"yoast_head":"\nTahir Hamut Izgil: Waiting to be Arrested at Night – international literature festival berlin<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/literaturfestival.com\/en\/events-archive\/tahir-hamut-izgil-waiting-to-be-arrested-at-night\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tahir Hamut Izgil: Waiting to be Arrested at Night – international literature festival berlin\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"German Book Premiere For decades, the Uyghurs have been persecuted in China and interned in camps; the first states speak of genocide.
