The Chief Witness: escape from China’s modern-day concentration camps by Sayragul Sauytbay

5.0

Incarcerated in a Chinese concentration camp for her crime of being born a Kazakh, an ethnic minority in China, Sayragul has become an important eyewitness bringing to light the unimaginable horrors unfolding in the camps, to the Muslims jailed within, in the form of severe torture, unbearable abuse, brutality, rape, and even murder for minor infractions like being unable to answer in correct Chinese, answering incorrectly, questioning their imprisonment, refusing to eat pork, drink wine, or even speaking out of turn!

They are being killed, used for medical experimentation, murdered so that their organs can be harvested and sold in a booming industry for “Halal organs”!
They are being ethnically cleansed so that nothing of their identity and culture remains in a Country that is hell-bent on stomping out any dissent or differences in order to create a homogeneous community of bots that will blindly obey the Chinese. Communist. Party rules.

To begin with the region of East Turkestan was violently annexed by China in 1949, a land that has always been home to the Uyghur’s, Kazakhs, Tartars, and Mongolians among others, and then began the process of systematically oppressing the Citizens by taking away their land, property, culture, and now their religion, and their right to live.

This book is a difficult read but an essential read that I implore you to read.

“In footage secretly recorded, the Chinese Head of a department for internal security in Xianjian puts the dire situation of muslims in the region in a nutshell: “Their human rights aren’t being violated, because they have no rights.”
With every passing minute the world keeps silent about these atrocities, more innocent people die.”
