Over one million people - mainly Muslims from the Uyghur ethnic group - have been placed in camps in Xinjiang Province in China.
The government claims these are ‘re-education’ camps. In reality, this is a human rights crisis.
There are reports of overcrowding, unsanitary conditions and physical and psychological torture. Uyghur families are torn apart, as parents are sent to the camps and children are taken away to state orphanages. One source reported children as young as six months ‘locked up like farm animals.’
And it’s not just Uyghur Muslims. Across the country, religious minorities are experiencing increasing government harassment, intimidation and worse.
Our new report shines a light on this crisis and is part of our focus on China in 2020 – look out for campaign actions we'll be asking you to take part in very soon.
