for the record, I think this is bullshit. even if they are real mugshots, there's no reason to believe that the documents claiming people got arrested for years for "reading scripture" are legit. adrian zenz has absolutely no credibility on this or any subject and I don't trust his anonymous source.
but i also don't think any of these debunks hold up either. these are the kinds of things that happen when documents are changed from one format to another, like .doc to .docx, or when they're sent to computers that don't have the right fonts installed, etc. of course it's damning that a supposed china expert can't read Chinese or even open Chinese documents on his computer without fucking the formatting, but we already knew that zenz is a hack so that's not news.
That sounds like a machine translation error or something. If you arrested Muslims for reading the Koran you'd have to arrest all of them, but you'd have to fight all of them first.
If it was originally referring to some kind of banned literature or something that would make sense.
