rich, the world famous sea voyage of ferdinand of magellan, a race linked to military inches, race to political and military facilities. that it was certainly to meet and financial interests. and adventure full of hardships, dangers and death. 3 years that would change the world forever. my jillions journey around the world, starting september 7th on d. w. with this is the dublin years aisha coming up to date. did china commit crimes against humanity in its chin? jang region possibly sees a new report for the un human rights office. it also uses aging of detaining and torturing it's minority wisdom. we go to population, we ask, what happens next and will be jig,
4:31 pm
we've brought to account for its crimes. ah, i british manager, welcome to d, w, and use asia. ledger could join us a sitting prominent member of the un security council. good. have committed crimes against humanity. that's the assessment of the un human rights office. last night, it released a report into china. se treatment if it's must have a weaker population in north western shin junk province. the report accuses begging of the following as part of its policies to fight terrorism in the region. it says china committed, serious human rights violations in shin jang. it sites are tons of torture, including sexual violence inside detention camps, which b g called vocational training centers. the report also called arbitrary and
4:32 pm
discriminate treat the detention of wiggers and other must modalities in the region . the un human rights office has also call for all detainees to be released. interestingly, in response to the 40 it paid you and report china issued its own $122.00 page report defending its actions engine jane. but there was also a letter of preceding it in which china said the following. and i quote, based on the disinformation and lies fabricated by antique china forces and out of presumption of guilt. the so called assessment distorts, john as laws and policies, one to lease mirrors and slanders china and interferes in china's internal affairs . and the anti china narrative was repeated later in the day by the foreign ministry in beijing, which among other things also accused the un human rights office of being caught a hug, an accomplice of the us and the west. each other,
4:33 pm
the so called assessment is orchestrated and manufactured by the us and some western forces if it is illegal and invalid. the report is a hodgepodge of misinformation that serves as a political tool of the us and the west. to strategically use sion jang to contain china, or we don't know about trying to contain china. china certainly try to contain the un report. reuters reported on how china try to build pressure. on former high commissioner michelle bashfully to bury the report, she spoke of tremendous pressure she was facing, but promised to release the report before her tom expired, and it was released yesterday just minutes before her 4 year term ended. with the report now out, correspondence father crushed my in, begging explained what it meant for china. when many of the facts were already well documented before, but the un report gives it a whole new level of authenticity and also urgency. and yet it's,
4:34 pm
or i would say that and the report is very strong because it's not only based on the and witness of human rights victims, but it's also based largely on official data government data. and that puts the am chinese government in a really a weak spot because they always deny any wrong doing them but, and, and don't even agree on the facts. but if most of the information is provided by the government itself, and that doesn't really make a lot of sense. so really the pressure against her against aging is really increasing. and what will happen probably is a bit out. the government here will ramp up and censorship. i don't think that the criticism will find its way into the am chinese public discourse and also probably seating ping, the state leader will m a ramp up and the nationalism here, because in 6 weeks there's a historic party congress during which he will most likely proclaim a 3rd term in office, and during that time am yet a stability is key for the leadership here and they don't want to deal with any
4:35 pm
crit, ism, or anything that could cause instability in the i. so i think the national listen will only get worse in the coming weeks. and that's, i've been just explained that your report was also based on interviews with former detainees. and those were aware of conditions at detention centers in chin. jang shinji and lies in the north west of the country. and it is here where the chinese government opened so called vocational training centers went up to a 1000000 weekends and other most minorities were imprisoned. ostensibly as part of antique care policies. did up the news as reported on this 1st time for a number of years. this includes visits to shin jag by correspondent in china at the time, but he is building and also 1st hand interviews of people who are detained in these centers. it's the kind of reporting that has formed a part of the basis of the u. n. report. well they, they the new tension that after i was brought to the fascist internment camp approach, i realized that it was
4:36 pm
a bit financing that you guys selling you. a very young girl. she got raped a lot and then deal sonya to the 35th struck me it was i can never forget it, but it stuck in my mind former detainees. sarah goes south by in 2020 sharing her story with d. w. news asia testimony that echoes many others who escaped the internment camps mentioned young like goes 0 hour hung, who also spoke to d. w. after resettling and turkey. you were not allowed to pause, scratch your head or cry if they saw that they would for she want to a metal chair. and if you tried to move, it would get tighter. then they make you repeat chinese words that you didn't know if you forgot them. they used on electro shock device on your head, correspondent mathias spelling, or tried to trace down the location of the camps based on accounts from former
4:37 pm
inmates. there are now 5 policeman following his assignment ended soon of that. if you film here, we will have to take measures against you wanted this place is a state secret. one of the camps were still a secret. when do her ill hums, father, ill, hum, tati was arrested in 2013. maybe she spoke to d. w. after receiving the e, you sucker of price on his behalf. i i'm very car. the weaker professor is serving a life sentence on separatism charges law. he was helping and students who graduated from university and cannot get a job and they won't be discriminated because of their identity. they won't fell and job interview just because of their wiggers. china's policies towards wiggers and sion jung have torn families apart and broken the hearts of those who escaped.
4:38 pm
now in the us, this restaurant owner told us how he missed his father inch and jang who had been arrested. i really care like he couldn't. her cuddled his grant, her children's to his color of his me again, this lady his fear, but as long as the so called vocational training centers exist, these forced separations could continue indefinitely. for more, i'm joined now by adult laneesa. his president of the world weaker congress enjoys bodnar from prague, mr. issa. so china could have committed crimes against humanity. what happened now? will it face any action, any accountability? well, a v no is the u. n. a. so high commissioner report is very, is the, is a very important, it is
