FirstpostResearchers estimate that more than one million Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim minorities are being held in a secretive network of detention centres and prisons, ostensibly as part of an anti-terrorism campaign after a series of attacks Beijing: A leaked list of thousands of detained Uyghurs has helped Nursimangul Abdureshid shed some light on the whereabouts of her missing family members, who have disappeared in China’s sweeping crackdown on Xinjiang. “I check the weather there sometimes, to see if it is cold or warm.” ‘I can’t breathe’ The previously unreported database, which has been seen by AFP, lists over 10,000 imprisoned Uyghurs from southwestern Xinjiang’s Konasheher county – including over 100 from Abdureshid’s village. Someone from every house As Beijing’s “Strike Hard” ideological campaign against Islamic extremism ramped up in 2017, the proportion of prison sentences of over five years nearly tripled from the year before. “We have already refuted some organisations’ and individuals’ fabricated lies about Xinjiang,” the Chinese foreign ministry wrote in response to AFP questions on the leaked list.
