I looked this up because there was no link and I wanted to make sure this wasn’t a case of someone just taking a headline and running with it, and uh:
Here’s an article from the New York Times detailing the allegations of forced labor in these places.
Here’s another NY Times article with statements an official (Shohrat Zakir) from the Xinjiang region of China (northwestern part of the country, where these camps are) about how this is “humane” because in exchange for rejecting Islam I guess these people get air conditioned bedrooms and cafeteria food.
An article from The Guardian with quotes from residents of Hotan, including the haunting words of a former resident, Adil Awut: “We have a saying in Hotan: If you go into a concentration camp in Luopu, you never come out.”
And a Washington Post article detailing the reaction of Saudi officials to the internment of Chinese Muslims because two fascists with conspiracy to commit genocide are better than one I guess.
(ID: a tweet from KhaledBeydoun - A reminder that China has placed nearly 1.8 million Ughur Muslims in concentration camps. … - accompanied by a picture of hundreds of people of various ages in dark blue clothes in rows. Quote-tweeted by aksarasabda with the addition - Doesn’t matter if you already knew, spread the word out. Retweet this. Another ‘holocaust’ is happening real-time and this is sickening me to my core. end ID)
