The 31-year-old’s account is one of the dozens contained in a report by Human Rights Watch and Stanford Law School released on Monday night. China is facing growing international scrutiny over its treatment of Muslim Uighurs in Xinjiang. Calls for a boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics are gaining momentum and countries, including Australia, are being urged to implement a united sanctions regime to force China’s government to allow independent United Nations inspectors into the region. Tursun’s account, like the scores of others reported by human rights groups, governments and journalists since the beginning of China’s “Strike Hard Campaign”, have been denied by the Chinese Communist Party. They claim estimates of 1 million Uighurs being detained in “re-education camps” are a fabrication, despite evidence of highly guarded, walled and patrolled camps being built across Xinjiang and multiple first-hand accounts to international media.
