"There is no one to farm the land or look after children,” -Mr. Liu

11-27-18   “The current policy is to ‘admit all who should be admitted.’  Almost all Uyghurs in my county have been arrested.  There is no one to farm the land or look after children,”  Mr. Liu said.  A local middle school was recently converted into a camp due to overcrowding elsewhere.  It currently holds many Uyghurs.

  At the camp where Mr. Liu works, the Uyghur detainees are divided into four levels of supervision: lenient, ordinary, strict, and enforced.

  The enforced “class” is almost exclusively made up of Uyghurs and Huis, whereas the Han Chinese are mostly put into the ordinary supervision “class.”  “Those in the enforced supervision classes at the camp are like the prisoners serving heavy sentences in detention centers,” Mr. Liu said.  “After they are ‘reformed,’ they are sent to the strict supervision class.  Those who pass that are sent to the ordinary class, and finally to the lenient one.” https://bitterwinter.org/staff-member-uncovers-details-of-a-camp/

WASHINGTON -- 11-27-18    A member of the Uighur minority on Monday detailed torture and abuse she says she experienced in one of the internment camps where the Chinese government has detained hundreds of thousands of religious minorities.

 Mihrigul Tursun, speaking to reporters in Washington, said she was interrogated for four days in a row without sleep, had her hair shaved and was subjected to an intrusive medical examination following her second arrest in China in 2017. After she was arrested a third time, the treatment grew worse.

  "I thought that I would rather die than go through this torture and begged them to kill me," Tursun, 29, told reporters at a meeting at the National Press Club.  https://www.cbsnews.com/news/china-uighur-woman-abuse-chinese-internment-camp-muslim-minorities-xinjiang/
