I made a remark about the author(s) of Notepad++ naming his release "Free Uyghur", quite unpopular I would say, I meant it to be like that, I told him/them that Uyghurs are just a ethnic group of China, not a nation, etc... But in this case , bloating someone's project for political reason's is just plain wrong, is awful. Github should have something in place to protect open source projects against something like this.

Github should have something in place to protect projects from their copyright owners?

"bloating someone's project" i. e. spamming. The person you're replying to seems to have a nuanced view on the issue.

Why is it wrong? It's quite courageous of them to support human rights, and they have the right to do so, especially when they have been developing and giving away their software for free. You have no obligation to use it.

Also, If they are "just an ethnic group", then why are so many being sent to prison? Why the mass surveillance, restrictions, arrests and 're-education' camps?

"Free Uyghur" doesn't necessarily mean they should be given their own nation, but at least be able to practice their culture and religion freely.
