Persecution Of Uyghurs In Xinjiang: Dressing-Up Oppression
We hadn't seen cross-sanctions between Europeans and Chinese authorities since 1989. At the heart of the crisis are the Xinjiang camps where Beijing claims to be de-radicalising hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs. While China keeps saying these camps are only training centres, we went to the Netherlands to meet a teacher who spent months in Xinjiang's forced labour camps. She told us about the horrors she witnessed. Rape, kidnapping, forced sterilization: despite a formal denial by the Chinese ambassador to Switzerland, the situation evokes nothing but the darkest hours of contemporary history. And in case you're wondering about the clothing brands using coton from Xinjiang's forced labour camps: well, business as usual.
