27:42Now PlayingThe United Nations and human rights groups have accused China’s government of setting up massive antiMuslim “reeducation” camps in the northwest Xinjiang province to disappear, jail and brainwash Uyghur Muslims. Some estimates put the population in the camps at up to 2 million. After months of denials, China acknowledged their existence in October, saying they are part of efforts to counter extremism. But Uyghurs say it’s a form of collective punishmentand that they live under a hightech surveillance state designed to eradicate Islam. We speak to Rushan Abbas, a UyghurAmerican activist based in Washington, D.C. After she spoke out against China’s repression of the Uyghurs earlier this year, her aunt and sister disappeared and have not been heard from since.
