A Christian, who had received and reposted a cartoon of the prophet of Islam on his Facebook account in 2017, has been imprisoned after the post resurfaced.

The discovery follows Huawei’s reported testing of automated ‘Uighur alert’ facial ‘attribute recognition’ software capable of identifying ethnic Uighurs from surveillance images and sending an alert message to police. Huawei plans to alter the patent.
