Chinese snipers were ordered to shoot Uiguren, the attempted, militarized internment camps in Xinjiang, how a new cache with chopped data revealed.
The data known as Xinjiang Police Files provide some of the most valid evidence that politicians in Xinjiang are indiscriminately aimed at Uighers and that a chain of command leads to Chinese leader XI Jinping.
The unprecedented publication contains new images that reveal the interior of the camp for the very first time.
The images directly contradict the Chinese government's claims that the re -education camps built from 2017 are exclusively “schools”.
photos contain recordings of Uiguren, which are chained by military officers who wear bunches and protective shields, and head shots of up to 5,000 Uighers that are detained due to low crimes, as little as they have not used their mobile phones sufficiently.
In a photo, officials in military uniform address their weapons on a prisoner who kneels in combat equipment at the feet of people. Another shows a number of women in yellow uniforms while officials are nearby.
On the head shots of prisoners and interested people, you can see waking sideways who also wear batons.
china previously claimed that the internment camps are actually "schools that help people free themselves from extremism".
But Dr. Adrian Zenz, a scholar of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation based in the USA, who had previously been sanctioned by China for his research on Uighers, said the material "blows the Chinese propaganda facade apart".
"We have confidential documents. We have sparked transcripts in which managers freely talk about what they really think. We have spreadsheets. We have pictures. It is completely unprecedented," he told the BBC.
"The material is not edited, it is raw, it is unadulterated, it is diverse. We have everything."
The files also list the reasons for the detention of people, including numerous cases in which people were punished for “crimes” that have been decades ago.
In one case, a man was detained for ten years after "studied the Islamic writings with his grandmother" for a few days in 2010.
Others were sentenced to ten years in prison because they did not use mobile devices sufficiently. There are over a hundred cases of "Telephone has no credit" on a list of crimes that are seen as a sign that digital surveillance is avoided.
Some were arrested because they were guilty of "union". It was described that the son of a prisoner had "strong religious tendencies" because he refused to drink or smoke, which led to her detention. Her son was also arrested and sentenced to ten years in prison for allegations of terrorism.
Extensive studies by Dr. Zen confirm that at least 22,762 inhabitants were either in a warehouse or prison in a district between 2017 and 2018. This corresponds to about 12 percent of the population.
If the same percentage was applied to the rest of Xinjiang, this would mean that 1.2 million Uighers and other adults were detained in the Turkish minority.
The data will be completed in 2018. In addition to other news agencies, the BBC was able to verify essential parts of the Xinjiang police files, including the identity of certain prisoners and photos that show the extreme measures that were taken in detention centers.
