Erased: The disappearance of Ekpar Asat
Update: 2025-08-19
Description
Ekpar Asat dreamed of building a digital home for his people—a place where Uyghurs could share music, stories, and a sense of belonging. Beijing saw that dream as a threat. They erased the network, and then they erased him. But what happened in Xinjiang wasn’t only about one man or one community. It has become a blueprint for how repression spreads—far beyond China’s borders.
ERASED is a four-part investigation into how China is wiping Uyghur culture from existence — one law, one app, one person, one website at a time. From shuttered schools to vanishing websites, ERASED uncovers an authoritarian regime’s campaign to delete a culture — and the unlikely rebels racing to stop it.
