In June, Radio Free Asia reported that a Uyghur student, Mehmut Memtimin, was serving a 13-year sentence in Xinjiang for using a VPN to access “illegal information”.

The way they did so here was actually pretty responsible. They stuck to the facts (that RFA actually said this) and quoted their use of the phrase "illegal information" appropriately
