‘We did it to our own people’: How China forced Kazakhs to implement its ethnic crackdown

The story of a Kazakhi woman who lived in China provides chilling new details of how the Chinese state detained upwards of a million people in “re-education” camps from 2017 to 2020.

Hundreds of thousands of people received lengthy prison sentences for alleged crimes including praying, fasting, travelling abroad or having too many history books, according to leaked police records and former detainees interview by The Telegraph. The disappearances and jailings continue today.
