Watch: Activist Aydin Anwar on Chinese Internment of Muslims

China has been sending vast numbers of Muslims to internment camps since last year, where it tries to force them to renounce Islam and embrace the Communist Party, as The New York Times and other media outlets have reported.

Almost 1 million Muslims are being held in the camps, according to an estimate widely cited by the United Nations and U.S. officials. China has denied that it aims to indoctrinate Muslims in the camps, telling a UN panel that there is no such thing as re-education centres, even though the Chinese government’s own documents have referred to them as such.

China claims that those camps are just vocational schools for criminals, and journalists have described attempts to keep them away from the heavily guarded sites.
