The release of the files comes as the U.N.\u0027s human rights chief, Michelle Bachelet, is set to travel to Xinjiang this week

Canadian went to China to debunk reports of anti-Muslim repression, but was 'shocked' by treatment of Uyghurs

“The sort of paranoid threat perception and the internal justification for why one has to move against an entire population, against so many people — it’s very evident from the files,” Adrian Zenz, senior fellow in China studies at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, said in a YouTube video published Tuesday to coincide with the data release.

Zenz, who has conducted extensive research on Xinjiang, said he was passed the files by an unidentified hacker who claimed to have downloaded them from police servers in Xinjiang. He then passed the data to more than a dozen media organizations including the BBC, Der Spiegel and Le Monde. The files don’t extend beyond 2018, after which a government directive was issued to tighten Xinjiang’s encryption standards, the BBC reported.

Zenz told Bloomberg News on Tuesday that he wanted European countries and others to take more action against abuses in Xinjiang and to step up sanctions on Chinese officials. He said: “It’s after all most likely the largest incarceration of ethno-religious minorities since the Holocaust.”

None of these countries make Canada better? Pay attention to them? Garbage news outlet! Anyone can visit Xinjiang - there are plenty of YouTubers that have posted candid videos online ...
