China’s Vanishing Muslims: Undercover In The Most Dystopian Place In The World

They will hide from each other a special 2004 spiritual pass on security and I believe that my illness will limit me tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen, and all our frequent travelers, so there is no defect in the jungle. Devon feels like I might be under the sidewalk. If we love it, make sure she does a neo, talk to you later, we are in Xinjiang, a

place

unlike anywhere else in the

world

. It is home to the

most

ly Muslim Wiegand minority, who have lived here for centuries. Shinjang has long been a pressure point where China's ethnic tensions have manifested themselves, but in the last decade, a handful. of violent incidents have roiled the region it has been three days since bloody riots broke out pitting ethnic Muslims against the dominant Han Chinese China blames these riots on Islamic extremism and ethnic separatism and responded by detaining more than 1 million people in massive new facilities where they are taken for so-called re-education, the government has presented them as cheerful training schools where they correct extremist behavior, for the US Department of Defense has called them concentration camps in an effort to repress information that leaks out of the region.

Journalists have been prevented from reporting freely here, so my colleague and I traveled to Shinjang as travel bloggers hoping to blend in and be able to talk to the Rieger people who still live here. We infiltrate

most

of what we capture with hidden cameras. It was secretly filmed, yes, then I will have to be there, there are checkpoints every few hundred meters, even when entering the small bazaar, your suitcases go through airport-type security and your bodies and faces are scanned, the members of the league that are detained and until now all of us. What I have met seems to think that I am a reader, weaker people look different from the Han Chinese, who make up more than 90 percent of China's population.

On the other hand, we, because we are ethnically Turkish Muslims with close ties to Central Asia, the most sophisticated surveillance technology in the

world

is being implemented here. Meticulous diligence among the hundreds of flashing lights suspended from the ceiling and rows of surveillance cameras literally every two meters. I counted at least 40 alone in a small room observing every conversation that we have decided to travel and the preparations for the Chinese New Year. because and partly because we had that security, you should have a little more difficulty traveling around the region, but that doesn't mean that there were about a million people trying to get on a train that we had outside the main city, in the that Regas essentially live. in open prisons in

place

s where surveillance is even stricter, so we took a 17-hour train ride to the ancient city of Kashgar to find out if that was true.

We splurged on a bunk cabin which we ended up sharing with us, the friendly Han Chinese woman, Big Sammy. and there was no man, you booked it and it's made with a deli, don't eat it. Henchard, one fine day, it was him for 13 maybe and $21, she screamed, so we took a whole year for freshmen, this is a punji. Young Saeng must do certain things to meet them, hang out, hate, any happiness, we capitalize G, personal Christmas in pottery, that I will cancel the potential and I will always earn, you know, a robe, so I jump on the defense, ah, honey, ET, the audience.

What again? So with him, yes, the normal questions have begun. We apologize nutritiously. We learn on the shore with calcium because the psychogenic family can eternally become a little cousin. I spent the trip walking up and down the train and hanging out between the cars. and smoking endless packs of Chinese cigarettes in the hopes of striking up conversations about my various cigarette quests. I passed a young man from Riga who kept catching my attention when everyone had gone to sleep and the carriages fell silent. He stopped me. We have disguised his voice for his own protection we arrived in Kashgar surveillance cameras were everywhere what day is today Wednesday 100,000 new police officers have been hired throughout the region between 2016 and 2017 alone and shows many of the officers who attended the thousands of checkpoints or wigs themselves wandering around the city almost no Weger would look at me or even say hello, anyone could be an informant to film this street, so it's not so obvious that what I'm actually trying to film are the girls behind me, but I'm having some crazy security Twice a day in Kashgar, shopkeepers, sweepers and delivery people take part in security drills.

This time we got off lightly or the piece let us go after deleting our images, but knowing that we are now being watched, we didn't want to push. so we looked around for the flashiest tourist activity we could find with me, this feels really bad. I'm just walking through the cultural heart of the dairy city with the camel throwing peace signs at the camera, we were desperate to talk to the locals. To understand how this once vibrant city had become so ghostly, so we went into town and ended up in a dingy bar, between songs we struck up a conversation with a couple of Chinese people.

Oh, for the next hour and a half, one piece after another arrived. Most of the high-ranking officers spoke English with a clear British accent and deleted a lot of our images. We insisted again and again that we were just tourists, not journalists. He seemed to believe our story and finally, thank you, it was 12:30am. m., one walked back to the hotel. The streets were dead and then I saw movement, so we were watching a group of police officers march for 8 weeks, the young men, all over the street, so PlayStation will just wash things away for us, so a few minutes or so into that.

Safety, nothing else affects your work and your whiteness, it is simply impossible to remain even in permanent contact with a serious risk. My suspicion that Saguna is domestic in religion is only a few of the girls who have been detained have managed to escape the country in recent years in Istanbul. We joined a rare meeting among a group of former detainees to talk about their experiences together for the first time. They answered the questions we couldn't ask while we were in China. There may be shared DNA innovation in Vedic. You will never understand, love me Mr. hugs Minister of the Peninsula Minister Paul D my Allah my Allah born I am a secular I have it in everything dk1 all children take any texture the day and yet it was a shock to believe it blah I will kill the camera, perhaps they are not referring to Gandhi.

He was detained after returning to Shinjang. He is now serving a ten-year sentence for traveling abroad and suspected terrorism, leaving five of his young children without his parents. What do you think happened to your children? devilishly bigger than that of a video and a barrel and a thinking member of the Amish mafia invites you to have tea instead - mm - no, she thinks this could have been taken inside a children's orphanage at Indian Maternity at the end of each axis the business that we love Laura, a child can learn a lot about the pumpkin from Laura Michelle Norris.

Does she have any other information about her children and yet mr. smart, your meaning is an inked HM, no, no, most important small help and recharge chattels Allah Allah: racially it is a sudden kiss with phone atoms. I should say it means in Latin column name a circadian jasmine title Allah Allah wait a minute we wanted to know if the rumors that children were sent to state institutions were true, we found the original video of Calvin's daughter ORS in the social networks, the user had uploaded other videos that also look like schools, we traced those locations to kindergartens in Houghton, a city of almost 300 miles from Cal Burner's hometown, we delved into Houghton prefectural government records which showed that in 2017 alone, the number of kindergartens more than doubled.

This was at the same time that China began sending hundreds of thousands of weaker adults to camps where we identified several more compounds. Houghton, all built around the same time and with the same distinctive features: large walled complexes with colorful turrets and brightly painted patterns on the ground. We wanted to return to Shinjang to investigate, knowing that we were already on the government's radar, the risks were greater in all cases. This Han Chinese businessman told us that it seemed like common knowledge that the government was accepting children of detainees as if they were also news. By mapping the GPS coordinates we had, we set out to find the places we identified as possible orphanages, so just walking down this really nice street in Houghton and cash-type vibes.

I mean, the streets are abandoned, a lot of houses with padlocks, it seems like a lot of people have disappeared, it's interesting that in this small neighborhood we passed three mosques even though we are actually here during the month of Ramadan. I can't hear a call to prayer on speedometer. We are returning to the best building. Our GPS coordinates are worth two rackets. We waited until the end of the day hoping to see the children picked up. parents, but no one entered or left the premises feeling that we were being watched, we accelerated our search for the remaining fee buildings over the next few days trying to get a little closer to the school, but there is a huge brick wall with chain link fencing barbed wire. around and they are making it really very difficult to get to.

I mean, it's obvious what we're doing here, you should get out of there real quick and see the kids there, so the best thing we can do is stop by this facility. but it's really strange that there are kids there on a Sunday, which suggests that this isn't just a normal school. Now you're trying to get to another one of these buildings. There is. I can see people moving inside. Oh oh yeah, we just mean. side with two minutes and then a piece of now comes, which was twice to check our past, here we go again, okay, around the bar with Helena Mayweather eyes, it's just so hard, it's a very effective mechanism that the government had implemented to prevent. any information did not come out, it was notjust the uniform piece, we were also followed by this white car and this gold car, often up to six plainclothes police officers and 24/7 we always had one particularly subtle man.

As he was, we saw him harassing us wherever we went or just getting a little ridiculous. Now I'll ask this guy where homosexuality is. Yes, yes, you wish my Egypt to be warm. You want me to control the woman. I know you're not on the phone. you were I don't know, this is literally the first time you walked away from me. You have always been following me just to eat Cerny Sakuya. This is very strange behavior. No, idiot, eat. We will meet a woman. Can you, Donny, not, ahem, that funny gray glitter? We look like a grown woman.

Perelman, total denial. Our friend continues to follow us at a distance, making it difficult to talk to people, but on a nearby street, a weaker young woman spoke up for her own protection. We have hidden her face from her, what is wrong? We did not please the walker and Emma, ​​the teacher, made Shiva go to the general destruction fun, show your hand or Heights, your foot, them along another path in another abandoned village, another multicolored castle appeared, there is no There is no doubt that a massive program of social engineering is being carried out in fighting Chang and in these schools.

The Chinese government's objectives are clear so that this next generation of Semanistas will not be beggars, they will break all ties with their culture, their religion, even their families, until the only identity they have left is Chinese. On one of our last days in
