Quite a disturbing article. It’s a bit like Tibet, hard to really affect the situation.Who will stop the Uighur genocide?
…
While Uighurs have always faced oppression from the Chinese government, the policies from the Chinese government shifted dramatically. What began as discrimination and human rights violations, shifted to a strategy of dehumanisation, assimilation and genocide.
At the beginning of 2017, the Chinese government began to round up Uighurs and put them in an extrajudicial network of internment camps. Nearly all communication with our loved ones was cut off. In total, an estimated 1-3 million Uighurs were arbitrarily detained in these camps, enduring horrific conditions, torture and indoctrination.
Uighurs around the world raised the alarm, but our voices were initially ignored. China denied that the camps even existed for over a year, until they could no longer deny it.
