Child Separation & Prison Camps: China's Campaign Against Uyghur Muslims Is "Cultural Genocide"
Staff | democracynow.org | 2019-07-26
Chinese authorities have been accused of systematically separating Muslim children from their families in the far western region of Xinjiang.

This comes as an estimated 1 million adults from the Uyghur community are being imprisoned in camps that China claims are "vocational training centers" designed to combat extremism. We speak with independent researcher Adrian Zenz, who did the resea…
