Human Rights Abuses in Xinjiang

The Uyghur people, an ethnic Muslim minority in China's Xinjiang region, have faced severe human rights abuses, including arbitrary detentions and torture, in what some countries label genocide. Reports indicate that approximately one million Uyghurs have been detained in a network of re-education camps where they endure harsh conditions and are subjected to intense surveillance. Life outside these camps is equally controlled, marked by frequent checkpoints and invasive monitoring technologies. There are alarming accounts of forced labor and mass sterilization aimed at suppressing the Uyghur population, indicative of systematic oppression.
