Over 1100 concentration camps still active in China: UFF
New Delhi: The chairperson of the Uighur Freedom Forum (UFF) has again tried to attract the world’s focus on discrimination against Uighur Muslims in China and expose the dragon government over the treatment with minor communities in China.
The Chairperson, Nurgul Sawut said, “There are still over 1100 concentration camps and around three million people are in them. Organ harvesting continues in these camps. China didn’t shut down the camps after international protests five years ago but changed the way they looked so that they didn’t look so ominous in satellite photographs. They are now bigger and functioning more systematically.
Further, she added, when I went to Xinjiang in 2016, I noticed that the whole region looks very different. It is like driving into a war zone. There are checkpoints and you can see lots of barbed wire. If the area is peaceful, why do you need checkpoints and barbed wire?” she asked. The people are also in fear and no one greets anyone. No one makes eye contact. when I stepped out, no one made eye contact. when I went to buy vegetables, the shopkeeper made no eye contact.
Sawut acknowledged that We don’t have someone like the Dalai Lama. We are proud of the Dalai Lama. We too believe in him, but we are getting international support. We need to unite and establish ourselves.
