7:16 pm
the, the meaning of modern africa. this is, that's an egg. and d, w. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word, always been equal. rico is in germany to learn german. why not learn with him? simple online, on your mobile and free to shop. t w's, e learning course, nico speak? german made easy. this is, did engineers, asia coming up today? did china commit crimes against humanity in its stringent region? possibly say's a new report for the un human rights office. it also appears as beijing of detaining. unfortunately it's minority most then we go to population. we ask what happens next? and we'll a jig,
7:17 pm
these brought to account for its crimes. ah, i'm british manage. you're welcome to d w. news. a shark ledger could join us. a sitting permanent member of the un security council could 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 of its most em weaker population in northwestern. she john 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 discriminate, treat the detention of wiggers and other must the modalities in the region. the
7:18 pm
un human rights office has also called for all detainees to be released. interestingly, in response to the 40 at b, u and report, china issued its own 122 page report defending its actions. engine, jang. but there was also a letter preceding it in with china said the following. and i caught, based on the disinformation and lies fabricated by antique china forces, and out of presumption of guilt. the so called assessment distorts, china's laws and policies, wantonly smears 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 you and human rights office of being called a hug and accomplice of the u. s. and the west each other,
7:19 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 hodge podge of misinformation that serves as a political tool of the u. s. and the west to strategically use sion jang to contain china. or we don't know about trying to contain china. china certainly drive to contain the un report. reuters reported on how china try to build pressure on former high commission and michelle furshly to bury the report. she spoke of tremendous pressure she was facing, but promised to release the report before her time expired. and it was released yesterday just minutes before her 4 year tom ended with the report now out, correspondent, father and crush my in b. g 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,
7:20 pm
or i would say that and the report is very strong because it's not only based on the and the 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, the pressure against her against paging 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, the 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 crit, ism, or anything that
7:21 pm
a could cause instability in the i. so i think the nationalism will only get worse in the coming weeks. and the sarbanes explained the urine report was also based on interviews with former detainees. and of those who are aware of conditions at detention centers in chin. jang, a shinji, lies in the north west of the country, and it is here where the chinese government open. so called vocational training centers, what up to a 1000000 wiggers and other was through minorities were imprisoned. ostensibly as part of antique tara policies are, did up the news, as reported on this 1st hand for a number of years. this includes visits to shin jang by a correspondent in china at the time, but he is bellinger and also fast 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 you and report what they paid on their attention that after i was brought to the fascist internment camp patron, i realized that it was an abyss social, but they turned and symbol go sonya
7:22 pm
a very young girl she got raped, allotted her, then kneel, tunzia, think that they will actually do that. she feeds on valley struck me. it was, i can never forget it, but it stuck in my mind. former detainees saragossa south by in 2020 sharing her story with d. w. news, asia testimony that echoes many others who escape the internment camps and sion. jung like good 0, i will hung who also spoke to d. w. after resettling and turkey, you are not allowed to pause, scratch your head or cry if they saw that they would force you on to a metal chair. and if you tried to move, it would get tighter. well then they make you repeat chinese words that you didn't know if he forgot them. they used an electro shock device on your head. correspondent mathias bellinger tried to trace down the location of the camps based on accounts from former inmates. there are no 5 policemen following me,
7:23 pm
his assignment ended soon. then, if you film here, we will have to take measures against you from this place is a state secret. one of the camps were still a secret when to her ill, hum, father, ill, hum, tati was arrested in 2013. maybe she spoke to d. w. after receiving the you soccer of probably on his behalf. i, i'm very weak. the professor is serving a life sentence separatism charges all. he was hoping students who graduated from university can i get a job? they won't be discriminated because of their identity. they won't fill and job interview just because of their wiggers. china's policies towards wiggers and she and john have torn families apart and broken the hearts of those who escaped. now
7:24 pm
in the us, this restaurant owner told us how he missed his father and son, jang, who had been arrested. i really care like he couldn't coddle his grand children to his cousin with me again this, i think 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. he's president of the world we go. congress enjoys been from prague recently so, so china could have committed crimes against humanity. what happens 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 in
