The Human Rights Crisis in Xinjiang: September 24, 2019

Since April 2017, China has detained more than one million Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, ethnic Kyrgyz, and other members of Muslim minority groups in internment camps in Xinjiang.

On Tuesday, September 24th at 12:30PM EDT, the United States co-hosted an event to call attention to the Chinese government’s extensive system of arbitrary detention and mass surveillance in Xinjiang, and the human rights violations and abuses the government has committed against Uighurs and members of other Muslim minority groups.
