5:06 pm
attacks. in response china has cracked down and we built up a close knit surveillance system the authorities have imprisoned more than a 1000000 people in internment camps. cross chin jang the chinese government claims the camps were set up to fight extremism and provide leaders with cation all skills but detainees and documents contradict that narrative rather detainees are targeted based on little more than their culture and religion and are forced to undergo a draconian and often brutal brainwashing program. and now we have on earth even more chilling evidence of china's for oppression of week we talk to former detainees who managed to escape china's network of re-education camps. one day they were handed a list of alleged crimes. but it was one page of
5:07 pm
paper we had to choose one item i started reading it and it said wearing a headscarf playing owning a qur'an phoning all contact him people abroad they stress and you will stay here until you pick a crime so i signed the paper and put my finger print. a few days after the woman was forced to sign the list official start of calling up people one by one for what amounts to a sham trial oh yes you were you forgot there were no lawyers. there were to read out the judgement and the detainee would have to say i confessed my crimes i promise i won't repeat my wrongdoings not that i want to just the cost. so that. we analyze satellite imagery in publicly available material such as construction bids and tender notices and managed to locate 3 camps where these trials happened in 2018 in
5:08 pm
3 different locations across 2. after the trial. detainees started disappearing some were picked up at night others led away from their classrooms never to return. but it seems that only those who had confessed to religious acts in the child's were picked up this is yet another indication that china is targeting we get culture and religion. the woman and the other detainees we took to manage to skate to neighboring cousins down the stairs with constant resident seal family members were eventually allowed to leave china. my husband says i've changed sometimes i get very angry so no reason is just screaming during the night i'm so exhausted all the times.
5:09 pm
we can speak about this with the aid of losing sherry chang who is actually part of the investigation saying welcome sherry. these people are forcibly detained anyway why do you think china feels it has to go through the motions of a trial inside these camps well actually this is a very interesting question we would also like to ask the chinese authorities and in fact we tried to reach out to them to the foreign ministry of china and also to the embassy in germany when they focus on the response about these trials but one speculation or one very possible reason is that actually in the past few years international media has been reporting about this we educating towns in china and it puts a lot of pressure on the chinese authorities. asking about their treatment of their wages there and this could be one way for them to transfer all these detainees from the detention camps to. prisons. kind of legitimize way i say we had in the revolt that some detainees disappear after the trial so is that what
5:10 pm
we're presumed to be presumed that they believe these crimes and go to prison it's very hard to really confound because there's no paper trail off and the trials or any of even the names of the. these but from what we have heard from the witnesses and from experts we assume that many of them have been taken to prisons also actually some of our witnesses told us that if they were some of them if they were given lighter sentences actually they were sent home not to prison but then they would be and a very strict surveillance from the state there would be officers visiting their homes every day to watch them basically. monitoring the story for some time the chinese government claimed early this this year that everyone who had received these this so-called education and training inside these comes have graduated and that all leading happy lives what does your research tell you this is absolutely
5:11 pm
true from our research as we said in the report many of them have been going through these trials and sent to prison and actually there are also reports some of these former detainees they were transferred to factories. or in other parts of china to work as forced labor and actually many fake many of these factories are producing for foreign companies including german companies so what sort of international pressure is being applied to china over the treatment of weak muslims so far international community has been quite quiet the e.u. has discussed the sanctions on china because of the treatment of the weakest and the u.s. recently passed an act to sanction some officers who are responsible for the treatment of weakness but. other than that. i mean many things that have done that have been done by specially germany actually is quite quiet. it could be because
