that up to a 1000000 people have been detained in so called education camps remote province in china so far northwest is off limits to international media was legally use to make up most of the region's population of long faced repression by chinese authorities including the recent years lengthy prison terms the w.'s investigations team has found that many imprisoned weekers inside the camps have been forced to choose from a list of crimes and then sentenced in sham trials without access to due process the w.b. forces spoke with people who escaped from china's network of repression jinja. if you don't have any freedom at all your money says 247 they can interrogate you as any time even at night when you're asleep the women i was with ended up there because they had want to head scarf. over troubled abroad there wasn't a single criminal among them. that's the voice of

a woman who spent almost a year inside a reeducation camp in china with keeping her identity a secret in order to protect her family in sin a remote region in northwest china. she in john hughes home to the weakest a predominantly muslim ethnic group. decades of state sponsored discrimination against them has spread into discontent into times of violence including riots and terror attacks. in response china has cracked down and we and built up a close knit surveillance system feel 47 prison more than a 1000000 people in internment camps. cross ginger the chinese government claims the camps were set up to fight extremism and provide leaders with the patient or 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've on earth even more chilling evidence of china's for oppression of leaders we talked to former detainees who managed to escape china's network of reeducation camps. one day they were handed a list of alleged crimes. it was one page of paper we had to choose one item i started reading it and it said wearing a headscarf playing owning a qur'an or phoning all contacting people abroad they threatened us you will stay here until you pick a crime so i signed the paper and put my thing the current. 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 but there were no lawyers. there were to read out the judgement and the cheney would have to say i confessed my crimes i promise i won't repeat my wrongdoings i'm not i want to just look all. over so that. we analyze satellite imagery and publicly available material such as construction bids and tender notices and managed to locate 3 camps where these trials happened in 2018 in 3 different locations across 2. after the trials. 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. woman in the other detainees we talked to managed to skate to neighboring kazakhstan and stairs with cousin president seal family members were eventually allowed to leave china. my husband says i changed sometimes i get very angry for no reason started screaming joining the night's i'm so exhausted all the times that's . all we can speak about this but they don't lose a sherry charm who is actually part of the investigation team 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. when f.l.

got a response about these trials but one speculation all one for a possible reason is that actually in the past few years international media has been reporting about this we educate sometimes 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 they stay 10 days 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 we're presumed to be presumed that they leave these camps and go to prison it's very hard to really call because there's no paper trail off and the off base trials or any of even the names of the detainees. but from what we have heard from the witnesses. 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 under very strict surveillance from the state they would be officers visiting their homes every day to. basically. monitoring the story for some time the chinese government claimed early this this year that everyone who had received these this so-called educational training inside these comes have graduated and that all leading happy lives what is your research. this is absolutely 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 they also report 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 their treatment of their weakness 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 it's quite quiet. it could be because it's a very important trading partner for germany and this is really and issue of economy versus human rights so i suppose it's. our job to just keep highlighting what's going on. from deep to be reversed because you think you. and you can see the full report on life inside china's xinjiang detention camps on the d.w.i. news you tube channel now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world areas outside the
