3 million Uyghur Muslims, have been unjustly detained in Chinese concentration camps

With over 60 people in small containment rooms, there isn’t even enough room for everyone to sleep. People take turns standing, so the others can sleep for a couple of hours.

With so many people stuck together in the same room, without a toilet, they have to use a bucket for excretions.

Almost all of the survivors of the camps reported beating as a punishment for the most trivial of offenses. Even women have scars and marks of beating all over their bodies.

Medicines are forcibly administered to women to stop their periods. In some women, they cause bleeding from the uterus.

Survivors report being given injections and medications without being informed of the contents. Blood is also drawn without permission.

Several women survivors report being gang-raped by guards at the facilities. Some even during their teenage years.

Muslims are made to chant “Communist Party Akbar” instead of the traditional “Allah Akbar” (God is Great) that Muslims say to praise and glorify God.

A mother reported that she was made to see her missing child from a distance briefly before both of them were dragged away by their hair.

Uyghurs detained in the camps are subjected to physical torture. Some report being tied to a hard chair all day long while others report other forms of torture.

Most facilities are located in places like the middle of the desert or in remote parts of the country that are essentially cut off from civilization.

Tall, fort-like walls covered with razor-wire fences surround what China claims are re-education camps.

The facilities are surrounded by several watchtowers and armed guards secure not just the insides of the facility but a wide area around it.

Visits are not allowed and any reporters or unauthorized personnel even approaching the direction of the camps are followed and escorted away.

There is heavy surveillance in and around the facilities similar to, possibly even greater than, what is seen in prisons.

There has been proof of cremation facilities near the camps which indicates an ability to quickly burn the bodies of victims.

State television airs propaganda reaffirming the Chinese narrative and that those attending the camps are not only wilfully there but are enjoying themselves.
