  • ... that in 2006, Canadian citizen Susan Thomson had her passport confiscated and spent five weeks in "re-education" due to her ethnographic research in Rwanda? Source: in April 2006, she returned to Rwanda to conduct fieldwork, spending several months interviewing more than 400 Rwandans. Thomson was transparent about the nature of her study — she’d received a permit from the local government — but one day in August, she found out that she’d ruffled some feathers... He took her passport and said, “You’ll get it back when you’ve been sufficiently re-educated.”... For the next five weeks, a government handler escorted Thomson to re-education activities. https://news.colgate.edu/scene/2014/07/boiling-point.html

  •   - The hook needs to be cited no later than the end of the sentence within the article per DYK Rule 3b. It also looks to me like this was expanded 5x, not created, in the past 7 days. Other than that the article looks good, as I see no policy or copyvio issues. Hook is interesting and within length guideline. AviationFreak💬 03:22, 21 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
