investigation found hundreds of thousands of women have had to undergo pregnancy checks sterilization or abortion the chinese government has denied the allegations saying they're not based on facts alexia ryan reports. say she'll never forget the day chinese authorities told her her 3rd child was illegal she says she was threatened told to pay a fine of more than $2.00 and a half $1000.00 should be locked up in an internment camp. america for a fight they give shots and remove fetuses forcefully if they say it's illegal to make you get an abortion those who didn't obey were sent to the camps now people they're terrified of giving birth. the associated press investigation is based on government statistics documents and interviews with women like gold now who say they knew people jailed for having too many children many received a prison sentence of years even decades government efforts to reduce birth rates.

are both systematic and ruthless we're talking the mass forced insertion of intro year to run contraceptive devices we're talking threats of internment for those who violate birth control policies zain says the brutal crackdown is part of government efforts to control the way to get people many of whom a muslim to purge them of their faith and identity. the investigation found the government had spent hundreds of millions of dollars on birth control and shin jang province in northwest china birthrates their decreased by about 24 percent last year compared with 4 percent nationwide but i hope. that i'm as they want to eliminate us but they can't kill all of us it's not. because the world is watching so they're doing it step by step with policies like sterilization imprisonment or

separating men and women and making them work as forced laborers china says the camps are for reeducation part of what it calls a struggle against terrorism but rights groups accuse beijing of locking up more than a 1000000 people to brainwash and punish them those not detained a spied on. her neighborhood felt like an open air prison she tells how she was forcibly sterilized along with about 200 other we go women. we lost a part of our body we lost our identity as women we will never be able to have children again some women say they've been left with long term injuries a bitter reminder of everything they've lost brian al-jazeera. or less speak to know a lot about this she is a spokeswoman for the campaign for way gores and joins us from sydney australia thank you very much for being with us and the chinese government says this reports by the associated press is fake news have you heard of these factors is forcing

birth control on we go women or. yes. this is not something new and this is always. you know we experience we talk about we campaign for many to try to raise awareness internationally but that this report mr adrian sends just come out it's just mind blowing the fact he. put it in the very. end as well as the numbers in that report pretty much shows exactly what we're actually looking for in the last 4 years let's say since 2016 because the many statements and testimony what we hearing from our community is extensive. specially on the women pregnant women and. country which is mainly.

women could be pregnant. as many as 7 months to take it in and to terminate that pregnancy that literally actually killing fully grown futures if let's put it that way and also there's a very systemic lee approaching. like a neighborhood by neighborhood controlling the. adrian's insead using sterilization and the 1st control the injection and as well as. a right and not that we shouldn't forget about the men and women as separate it either since 2006 that when that internment camp is implemented or introduced widely well what is surprising or i guess not surprising in a sense is that the chinese government has been encouraging the majority to have

more children so this practice is. getting minorities in the way gores specifically what does it say about china's towards your community they say it's for national security and also tell us about the consequences of this birth control campaign on your community. chinese. always. close our eyes on our population gross on community this is nothing new and since in 1978 but the problem is 2014 there introduce new policy and a for rural region and you're allowed to have a story children. we need to have a labor. force a community our community is that's not allowed to. have 2 children if you have a more straight you will get punished and you will be given heavily fined or taken

into intending if you're of trees to collaborate with the you will even get you know imprisonment and a giving giving you up to 10 years imprisonment this is quite a common practice and also women are rounded up and that unlawful right let's eat this is not even allowed in china it's more to that the control and. no go you know some experts have called this campaign against a democratic demographic genocide are you hopeful as a campaigner yourself of any action being taken against the chinese government. level after this report. i don't sink international community paid enough attention to this matter. for example and un you know the policy maker for in terms of you know so if communities. as

a result of as control. you know the population growth dropped dramatically what they did do about the whole matter in last 4 years we hear nothing about it and how but i admit they did nothing about it but the individual begin a policy as well as prisons bodies and they just like keep doing business as usual and that they need a really undermining what it is is clearly classified now as a demographic genocide against only go people inside china thank you so much for talking to us no spokeswoman for the campaign for a week was joining us from sydney thank you for your time we appreciate it thank you. still ahead on al-jazeera protesters in brazil use a process to send a message to the president to find out what it is judgment day. as a former french prime minister faces possible jail time for corruption.
