Concentration camps, torture, death: China likes to be the perfect Olympic host. The regime tries everything, its darkest side behind the prevent propaganda facade. At t-online, an exile unpacks.
One keyword was enough: the critical question about the situation of the Uyghurs in China caused a scandal at a recent Olympics press conference. The official at the microphone reacted angrily. Reports about camps in Xinjiang province are nothing but “lies”, according to the spokeswoman for China’s Olympic organizers.
China denies persecuting the minority. But now an eyewitness speaks in front of the t-online camera. As a Uyghur woman, she herself was a victim of the regime and knows one of China’s concentration camps. Research provides evidence of their existence – through satellite images, leaked documents and clear amateur recordings.
