While the international community has condemned China's detention of Uyghur Muslims as a violation of human rights, Beijing continues to frame these internment camps as a national security measure, aimed at preventing extremism and separatism. What is the truth for those in Xinjiang, and what can be done to protect the humanity and dignity of the Uyghur?
