a lot of overseas weak areas and also like in the video report ethnic kazakhs really have their hands tied behind their backs and they feel like they can't say anything for fear of the impact it would have on friends and families back in china what are people in the diaspora doing to try to raise awareness of the camps in china. the risks of speaking out were telling sharing stories are very very big as it's shown and their use cases recently to at least to us fairly and the dems are told they are through a t.v. interview that they have been very his didn't share stories even in one instance while strictly in that week or who were detained in one of those camps did not feel comfortable safe to go out and shared stories this has been the case with many

week has around the world any weaker that you talk to can tell you that either there are threats down the members or friends or someone they know have been taking the caps but they're not in the position to. come out then tell the stories even in united states there are several. in academia and business have been directly appeal in the united states government without speaking to media representatives because of the potential retaliation against them from the chinese government and also so in some instances the weaker we are family members brought up to talk to the family members overseas and using the family members to pressure their foreign base that children were relatives to stay quiet that was weak and nick an activist check out speaking to us from washington. to the philippines now and the popular
