When the Assad regime fell in Syria in 2024, NPR correspondent Emily Feng was surprised to find thousands of Uyghurs amongst the victorious rebel forces. What were they doing there and why were they fighting? Plus, bestselling author Sally Rooney and her publisher have pulled he books from UK shelves, while legislation continues to designate the group 'Palestine Action' as a terror organisation. Does this amount to censorship?
