this is the w.'s line from berlin china's crackdown on muslim minority we grew as this document that you see right here exposes china's big lie that the we are simply attending vocational training camps i did every news of mr geishas seems to confirm what the world has long suspected that the we girls are being imprisoned in terminal camps simply because they are muslims also coming up on the rise against the china reports an increase in the number of people infected with the coronavirus

after 2 days of apparent drop in new cases almost 90 percent of the new infections are in the city the odds. are more a lay low hierarchy is great to have you along every one where we begin this broadcast with a document that was leaked to w. news and seems to expose china's mistreatment of its muslim minority weaker people the chinese government claims that camps housing weekers are simply giving them skills training but the united nations believes as many as 1000000 weekers are currently being held in the region of jang in camps there will chinese authorities come of people are there out of their own free will and that they're receiving vocational training to help fight extremism or d.w. nears and this german media partners and. our video and the daily should say you

don't have evidence now that contradicts that narrative it seems to confirm what many have long suspected that china is putting week in prison based on their religion and culture now me conrad of w.'s investigative unit reports. was the person i would never have found out that my sister isn't a come without this list lugger going up for the boy the money. it's a detailed surveillance document it's extremely likely that this is authentic yes it's dangerous but someone should tell the world what's going on. istanbul. you know more. these men now we get muslims from china back home they could be imprisoned for the simple act of praying and i quickly come to realize that each one of them has

a story of loss. of a fascist chinese government wants to eliminate the weaker people of jiang the entire population of sion jiang right in front of the eyes of the world. we ask them to raise their hands if they have family members who've been imprisoned in china's province where most weekends live. across chin jiang there are dozens of camps holding up to a 1000000 week as let's take a closer look at one of them they say is a reeducation camp next to the prison. we identified watchtowers and high walls. that countless camps like this one the chinese government claims they are fallen tree vocational training centers designed to fight we get. stream isn't.

true but we received a document which shows that china's targeting week is based on the identity and religion it lists hundreds of detainees and the reasons for their detention are. caused by force the weaker academic up to we are you perceived it from a source and took a huge risk sharing it with us. or. january 8 or you see with a phone call like it's messenger call and. he said stop doing this and we can reach you there were you are yes it's the

dress but someone. should take the danger someone should speak up someone someone should tell the world what's going on. the document doesn't have any stamp or signature we showed it to several experts who agreed that it is almost certainly an official text. it contains an enormous amount of extremely specific. data from one very small community in john and that. it would take an immense amount of effort and access to publicly on available data to fabricate a document like this in this neighborhood in istanbul where many we live we met one woman whose sister as i mentioned on the list. looked in news that talked to news some family members had been imprisoned but it shocked her when she found out that her younger sister was listed in the document called mbeki had

a mobile. i was really sad for days i couldn't sleep. i was really shocked. and sad about her arrest. ok i'll call them. china says it's fighting extremism but talked he says her younger sister wasn't religious her only crime she had too many children along all of them i heard that the conditions in prison are unimaginably bad they don't even have enough food to eat oh. well. she doesn't know if her relatives have been released like countless other we guess they have been caught up in china's all encompassing anti terrorism drive. and that report was a buyer not only conrad from did

a reason to give unit and they owe me is here with me a very warm welcome nomi this document that was leaked to d.w. news what does it show it's a really chilling document because it shows that it really doesn't take much for you to be imprisoned if you're we going it can be as little as buying a beer door or a veil and it also shows how all encompassing the surveillance state is the authorities know how often you pray they know what your family does they know if you've been talking to relatives abroad and all of these things can merit that you get away and arrested and sometimes indefinitely imprisoned sounds very orwellian and what you described there how did you go about authenticating what was documented in this document so we received about 140 pages in chinese of course we 1st translated it into english we showed it various we got academics scholars who all said it was most likely authentic just because it's very similar to what we've learnt from former detainees from people who've managed to escape

then we went about trying to find relatives of people on the list obviously we couldn't talk to people into that would but that meant great risk we managed to talk to several who corroborated what the documents said and then we also tried to verify the cabins that are mentioned in the documents that the people got sent to reeducation camps we trawled through chinese government beds through satellite images and we managed to verify 2 of the camps and find 2 of the most likely locations so i think of all we can say that we're pretty sure that this is most likely an authentic document what do we know about the fate of the detainees that are named in these documents so we know that some of them were released but that doesn't mean that they're actually free it means that they're very closely monitored that some of them probably can't even move around freely i mean there's a huge network of surveillance cameras that that are not often along if you're not allowed to move around freely other. we're most likely sent to factories i think

this is a form of forced labor and we have to be aware that european that german companies are sourcing cotton for example for so. they use these people even if they were released are by no means 3 and some of the mind some kind of most probably form of forced labor at the moment every gotten any reaction fishel reaction from chinese authorities so we managed to talk to the chinese foreign minister who was in berlin last week and he called all of this fake news he said it was propaganda directed against the chinese state but that was very likely because this is what the chinese government has been saying for months ever since there's been reporting on this that it's all a big lie and that it's voluntary and that people are learning valuable skills right investigative reporter conor thank you. and you can find much more on these lee documents and the work of did abuse investigative team and by heading to w dot com or follow the hash tag kara cacs list and stay with the china

because beijing is reporting an increase in the number of new cases of the coronavirus reversing the trend of the past 2 days while the government also says the death toll now stands at 1800 and that more than 70000 people are infected with the virus across the country. in china's hoop a province the epicenter of the outbreak new reported cases are again on the rise after 2 days of declining figures in mainland china alone officials say the total number of confirmed cases is over 70000 with nearly 1800 deaths. chinese president xi jinping is now facing criticism over why the public was not alerted sooner to the outbreaks potential severity official media recently released an internal speech he gave an apparent attempt to show the communist party leadership acted decisively from the start but instead it revealed china's top

leaders knew about the outbreaks dangers weeks before the president publicly addressed the problem. and euro china's military has now dispatched hundreds more medical workers and extra supplies to a bit to shore up the city's overwhelmed health care system. and it every summer burner in china told us earlier about the fallout from the release of president speech. yeah this speech that we're talking about is a speech that he held on the 3rd of february that is 2 weeks ago it was published in chile sure that's the party's theoretical magazine that party that spreads party ideology the interesting thing most of it is about combating a war against the virus and his leadership but the interesting thing is that he said in that speech that he had been cheering that battle against the virus from

january the 7th now that was the time when authorities still denied that they were ayers was dangerous and this period of denial is seen as one of the main causes for the spread of the virus so he is now basically opening the failures from the beginning and that's quite remarkable that he has said this over me and this could be published in the party magazine it's might be that they're confident to win the battle and that the initial failures will stand back behind these massive efforts that they're bringing on now to combat the virus it might be that he couldn't evade any more. this acknowledgement because the fact that he has not been seen during this period is also has also drawn a lot of criticism we don't know really the motives behind it but we know that we are in a period now when it's when when this battle against the virus is something that

dominates the whole country today just we have seen news that most probably the 2 sessions the annual session of the parliament will be postponed this is a major step in this political system that does not like surprises to their schedule. and that was what is appealing a reporting for you from china well next up the european union has agreed on a new naval mission to monitor the un embargo on arms deliveries to libya the country is split between fighters loyal to the un recognized government in tripoli and rebels who control most of the rest of the country if foreign ministers meeting in brussels were initially at odds over whether to resume the mission to prevent the smuggling of arms to libya was notably italy and austria were concerned that european ships patrolling the coast could encourage more migrants to attempt to cross the mediterranean on libya is awash with arms and fighting is still raging

there despite the arms embargo. now 2 portuguese of football were the club their victoria have launched an investigation after porto player moves summer a guy was racially abused by fans at a league match got was so incensed he tried to substitute himself but his teammates physically stopped him from leaving the field action that later were condemned by anti racism activists mali for said supporters who shouted racist abuse and threw a seat on the pitch or quote idiots he also criticised the referee for giving him a yellow card for his protests. and i know the top story that we're tracking for you this hour china's that missing treatment of its muslim minority weekers has been exposed in a document leaked to deal with news and investigation concludes that we are not

simply attending vocational training camps but confirms what the world has long suspected that they are being imprisoned simply because they are muslims. visit every news coming up next to business africa back with the band facility on little rock n roll and i'll see you again tomorrow same time same place. bursts . of speech. works if you can. get those are big changes and most start with small steps required to glue pulling tears tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world. to use the country. used in shops and schuster.
