much later look you come out of. this cell was about 20 square meters in size and had no windows. it held about 40 women. half of them would stand while the others lay close together on the floor. with all of them had heavy chains around their ankles the. conditions inside the cells were unbearable assess no sanitation no water no food and then there was the brainwashing. i had to swear loyalty to china's communist party. and the little bit at the bottom says of them because once a week they showed us a video about xi jinping. and if you. were forced to write self-criticism essays they wanted to make sure our mindset had

changed her and improved in the given the book every monday morning at 955 we had to get up and sing the chinese national anthem the rest of the week we had to sing 5 songs a day. and the thumbs. go may just go you know me. i've forgotten the rest. most of us like to like those are the kind of songs we had to sing. if we refuse they wouldn't give us any food.

a complete. because i only have. images fall of thoughts so i found major. sean believes there are about 100 camps across john they're easy to make out their design differs greatly from conventional prisons for out of pictures i can definitely tell it has that attention facility like to see. you know you can see it out west how here yeah yeah yeah and and at least wall is like it's up out of surgery to a 5 metre high if you feel compelled to wade through the shadows off if every typical i think. least feature in many odd cans high security blocks and they're expanding rapidly in 2016 there were only

a few apartment houses on this open plain 2 years later he's become an enormous camp. in just a short time new buildings were erected over a space of 166000 square meters according to one secret document shown obtained more than 8000 people are here no. obvious lead pan piece expanding i think. one reason if. they are. they are detaining him on the mob of hole there. they have to build new cabinets to accommodate you know detainees. we traveled to sion jongg repeatedly in the hopes of getting a closer look at these camps.

where foreign journalists aren't welcome here. as soon as we arrive in the region we're followed by several cars like this white vehicle or this much air. in plain clothes agents are openly tracking our every move. out in the streets were prevented from filming. we share. over the course of 3 trips to the region where arrested a total of 7 times. like on this rural road near a chance. were stopped at a police roadblock. i i i got fed up. because i was here and. then we were brought to this police station where

officers check our documents and contaminate us while we secretly continued filming . so you're a journalist from shanghai what are you doing there. we want to film the camp in dublin saying. there's no reeducation camp there there's no camp and. no yes there is a big camp with many and makes no there's no camp. the camp end up on chang is clearly visible on the satellite image. we're not allowed to pass the police force us to turn around. she jennings reader population of 11000000 already lives in what amounts to a giant open air prison. there are police stations and checkpoints everywhere. the people

here are under constant surveillance they're searched everywhere when entering train stations and supermarkets are boarding a bus. their mobile phones are also regularly monitored. jean jennings has pioneered facial recognition software a system used throughout the country a surveillance web of hundreds of thousands of cameras film streets and mosques. cameras can also be found in taxis or at the entrance to public toilets. but the readers are not only subjected to round the clock surveillance they also live with the ever present fear of being arrested and sent to a camp at any moment. on one of our trips to. be managed to approach the

camp on this satellite image using g.p.s. coordinates provided to us by sean chung. we succeeded in driving there and filming these extraordinary images. we're in no time in southern she. has at least 8 camps this one appears to be brand new. some 10 buildings razor wire and security cameras everywhere watching every square centimeter there are bars on the windows. yes. we were not granted access to any of the camps but one chinese journalist managed to secretly shoot this video in a camp in western last august it was still under construction at the time today more than a 1000 people are held here. inside dormitories that look like prison cells

and on every floor 3 such classrooms banners like these trumpet party ideology official doctrine is that she jingping socialism with chinese characteristics will ring in a new era. across china's border in kazakhstan we need a woman who knows exactly what goes on inside these camps i. say raul signed by the chinese citizen and member of the ethnic minority. in nov 27th teen she was arrested transported to a camp and forced to teach mandarin to inmates for months later she was released she was not told why today she lives in exile. this is the 1st time she

recounts what she experienced there on camera. made can boil day after day i have to work with the inmates baby and the 100 or a 1000 times i would make them repeat i am chinese and proud of china. as it was have gentz they had to stand up and loudly were slightly his lines i make a call though and i have to instruct them thousands of times they have to say how much they love she paying on the communist party now go think of that and i would tell the whenever i entered the classroom i was followed by 2 armed policeman. they stood behind me while i taught for the entire class was recorded and there were policemen at the door to vacation. the campell some to wonder how 1000 inmates cause attacks and we. say regel witnessed violence and abuse. sometimes armed policemen would storm into my class. every 2 or 3 of them and they

would seize inmates and drag them out and getting caught for lack of i never saw those people again for the most it will save you wacker drive which saved me sometimes in the evenings as we age we would take cries for help so . of a short stay so long and charles of. copeland i'd never heard such voices so desperate. and full of suffering junction we were sure they were being tortured . so. the authorities say the inmates are being reeducated but evidently they're being tortured and abused. i don't know how come the inmates were given injections but i think it's not as medicine as torture. you see the injections we used to when control over their brains. over the people in the camp had no strength anymore to rebel against anything. forced injections to make

inmates pliable in istanbul the love our confirms the practice she says she herself was forcibly medicated during our internment. of they gave us an injection once a week here or here we had to put our own through a small opening in the door we women soon noticed that because of the injections we weren't getting up period anymore i stopped menstruating one month after i was arrested. the injections made our minds go blank we didn't even think about families anymore i couldn't remember where i was born we didn't feel the cold or hunger we felt like a lifeless piece of meat that had been dumped there. i initially china pushed back against international condemnation of the mass detentions by flatly denying accusations. but then it changed its approach.

to it you know what i'm helping in. the prisons were to be given a legitimate sheen. in this report on state television shows men and women in a camp learning mandarin. well i. should you know it's a show that's been on come to you the report says camp inmates are receiving vocational training and seamstresses are carpenters the rooms are all clean and everyone looks grateful to be able to be there. and i used to be an educated but those days are over now widening my horizon. i don't even want to think about where i would be if i couldn't study here. maybe i

would have fallen prey to religious fanatics and become a criminal. if the government and the party found and rescued me just in time. i'll get. to. the just. we show the report to guba. the camp i was intended look totally different we would never let us about 20 square me syringes this report says 10 to 20 people and says look how well they're doing. but in the other camps people are crying. i've only just been freed and i can assure you where i was is nothing like what they're showing here there's a reason the little your it's a long it's not true at all. good about how i won't forget the women she left behind women like herself arbitrarily detained and deprived of their

freedom in her notebook she lists their names and the reasons for their arrest well then i assume as i remember a name i wrote it down. the. alley i looked up because she traveled to turkey. 52 years old arrested for being an english translator that's what they only some detained because a photo of a praying go was found on a smartphone i miss them to reform the food at the mall i mean there was a move for us arrested for wearing a headscarf but at the film alone the. good $111.00 is a cause i citizen and ran a company exporting clothes from china to kazakhstan she was arrested while on a business trip to the chinese city of order. her release came after the government of kazakhstan intervened on her behalf. remember. i been doing

business in china for 20 years i'm not a terrorist i'm just a normal business woman and the mother of 3 children. almost as well in the book might mean that you had a real am when i came home my children told me they petition tirelessly for my release. i'm very lucky to have escaped from such a place where i was accused of terrorism hold them and that's when the hope of. our own a 1000000 weekers live in exile outside of china like the roger you know. some are afraid of being forced to return to regime john. beijing's oppression extends beyond its own national borders. it's even targeted members of the weaker community

in france for example. for months the chinese embassy in paris has refused to give members of the diaspora the documents they need to extend their identity papers. one week or woman has agreed to talk to us on condition that she remain anonymous her family fears reprisals. she says she's the victim of attempted blackmail if she doesn't return to shane jiang to pick up her birth certificate her residence permit in france will expire was a perfect office i'd rather live here illegally then go back and walk right into their trap that they want to force us to return and then they'll find some way to send us to a concentration camp they're trying to pressure as many leaders as possible into coming back since. that's exactly what happened to goodbye. she did go back and was arrested. the engineer had

been living near paris for 10 years when she received a call one day from her former boss in december 26th seen it was a trap he called again and again insisting she returned to china to sign paperwork for her pension. do you want your greed to go at the time reports on the existence of the camps had not yet emerged. well in someone's if he called or incessantly for a week and told her with a stern voice you have to come back you have no choice you have to sign your paperwork we can't wait for you any longer so it's like you have to come back. to return take it all and plan to stay for 2 weeks she was supposed to be back in france on december 10th this all. when she arrived in china her passport was confiscated and her husband and 2 daughters could no longer reach or for 6 months

they knew nothing of her whereabouts sifu closure of a room was it was a very tough time then in june or july of 20176 months later my aunt called and told us that her mother was in a reactor cation camp i think she said she was being retrained she's in vocational training or she's in school. back then we simply couldn't imagine what that meant and that it would take so long we never dreamed there could be such camps with thousands of prisoners. the french foreign ministry says it can't intervene because unlike her husband and daughters. is not a french citizen. but her family won't give up hope. i don't dare to talk about that. as.
