China claims its facilities are re-education camps. Anyone who has come out of them confirms they are worse than prisons

Crowded Cells

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.

No Toilets

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

Beatings

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.

Reproductive Interference

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

Forced Medication

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

Rape

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

Indoctrination

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.

Emotional Torture

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.

Physical Torture

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.

Death

For many Uyghurs, their ‘re-education’ ends in a slow, painful death behind the walls of a secret facility.

For many Uyghurs, their ‘re-education’ ends in a slow, painful death beyond the walls of an obscure facility

130,000

Uyghurs die every 3 months according to an estimate. This figure excludes children.

Which is why the Chinese Government is doing everything it can to keep the program shrouded in secrecy

Isolated

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.

Inaccessible

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

Secured

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

Limited

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

Watched

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

Body Disposal

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

Staged Visits

Since the world has started paying attention to China’s camps, it has started organizing staged visits for key officials to appease to them by altering reality.

State Propaganda

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