When you investigation into the situation in chinas young province where researchers estimate that up to a 1000000 people have been detained in socalled reeducation camps the remote region in chinas far north west is off limits to International JournalistsMuslim Leaders who make up most of the regions population they have one faced repression by chinese authorities they are including over recent years lengthy prison terms with the best a gate of team has found that many imprisoned wiggers inside the camps have been forced to choose from a list of crimes and then sentenced in sham trials without access to due process w. Reporters spoke with people who was from chinas network of repression in. You dont have any freedom much or your money says 247 they can interrogate you as any time even at night when youre asleep so the women i was with and used up that because they had want to head for a week all the trouble that brought there wasnt a single criminal among that. Thats the voice of a woman who spent almost a year inside a reeducation camp in china with keeping her identity a secret in order to protect a family in. A remote region in northwest china. Is home to the weakest a predominantly muslim group. Decades of state sponsored discrimination against them has stepped into discontent in times of violence including riots and terror attacks. In response china has cracked down and we built up a close knit surveillance system. Of imprisoned more than a 1000000 people in internment camps across to. The Chinese Government claims the camps were setup. Up to fight extremism and provide readers with cation all skills but detainees and documents contradict that narrative rather detainees are targeted based on little more than their culture and religion and are forced to undergo a draconian and often brutal brainwashing program. And now weve on earth even more chilling evidence of chinas for oppression of weak we talked to former detainees who managed to escape chinas boss network of reeducation camps. One day they were handed a list of alleged crimes. But it was one page of paper we had to choose one item i started reading it and it said wearing a headscarf playing owning a quran phoning all contacting people abroad they threatened us you will stay here until you pick a crime so i signed the paper and put my finger print. A few days after the woman was forced to sign the list official start of calling up people one by one for what amounts to a sham trial oh yes you were you. There were no lawyers. There were to read out the judgement and the cheney would have to say i confessed my crimes i promise i wont repeat my wrongdoings to me im not i want to just because. I dont. Know its that. We analyze satellite imagery in publicly available material such as construction bits intended notices and managed to locate 3 camps where these trials happened in 2018 in 3 different locations across 2. After the trials detainees started disappearing some were picked up at night. It is led away from their classrooms never to return. But it seems that only those who have confessed to religious acts in the childs were picked up this is yet another indication that chinas targeting weaker culture and religion. Woman in the other detainees we took to manage to skate to neighboring kazakhstan as those with cosmic residency or family members were eventually allowed to leave china. My husband says i changed sometimes i get very angry for no reason. In the nights im so exhausted all the time. My colleague used to chinas part of the Investigative Team he put the story together its a fascinating story a jury excellent reporting but what comes to mind is the question why do you think china feels that it has to go through the motions of these sham trials when everything is being done in secret anyway well actually this is also a question that we have for the chinese authorities tried to sell to them to get an answer but they never got back to us about these trials but one possibility is that because in the past for us. Reeducation camps and the repression of the way to minorities have been widely reported on the International Media and that put china of china a lot of pressure. This fellows child china slightly smaller that just to make the transfer detainees from cambs took place and so that king gave an answer to that and. Some type of legal cover where we heard in the report that some detainees that they disappear after the trials that we do we know what happens to the israeli hot safe where they when they. Witness we know that its highly possible that they are taken to high security detention thames or. Inside. But the. Official documents we dont have. About the names of the people who went through the trials so really hard to say for sure the Chinese Government claimed earlier this year that everyone who had received this socalled reeducate you should have gone through the good they would graduate. If you graduated or joined the leading happy lives no what do we know was that true from our research this is absolutely not true as you can see from the report many of them were to tend to place on high security Detention Centers in fact from satellite image that we analyzed we tend see that the high security facilities they have expend in the past so it is likely that many detainees are being tapped in these camps and also we all also we also saw reports that some of these detainees were actually transferred to fight inside. Those other cities in china so they were forced to work in factories as false labor and actually some of these factories they produce for International Companies including German Companies and its important you do your reporting is important to get this story it leads to the question what is being done that internationally to put pressure on over the treatment of its were minority so father International Community has been quite quiet about this and the e. U. At this talk at sanctions against officials who are responsible for the repression of this but so far its really quiet and expression that they didnt really make a strong statement after all china is a really strong trading partner of germany and. Really a choice between economy and rights you know well as you said a very important story actually before doing. Investigations thank you.
