Radio Free Asia’s #Uyghur Service has consistently documented the worsening human rights situation in East Turkistan ( so called #China’s Far West, also known as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) through its journalism in one of the world’s most difficult media environments. This has included the vast incarcerations of 1 million or more adults in “re-education camps,” which began last year. RFA Uyghur service recently interviewed three former detainees from these camps who described the conditions and what life is like behind the walls for the men, women, and even children arbitrarily detained on a daily basis. For this project, RFA also filmed inside East Turkistan, capturing images of daily life in a surveillance state for the Uyghur people. While China continues to deny the existence of such political reeducation camps, the testimonies of these three detainees make clear not only the existence of such camps but also the way they are operated and how the detainees are treated as prisoners.
