“It’s a dystopian nightmare.” Author and human rights advocate Nury Turkel tells krishgm the West “has a moral obligation to stand up, speak out, to push back” over China’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims.

Human rights groups believe a network of detention centres across China’s north-western Xinjiang province are being used to detain more than a million Uyghur and Turkic Muslim people.

The Chinese government insists the facilities are ‘re-education centres’. However, armed guards in the towers have orders to shoot and kill anyone who tries to escape. Nury Turkel is a US-based Uyghur lawyer and human rights advocate who was born in a re-education camp in Kashgar, Xinjiang. He has just published a book about his family’s experience, called No Escape.
