How China Targets Muslims for Re Education Camps and Spies on Their Families
The goal of Chinas socalled reeducation camps in the region of Xinjiang is to assimilate longmarginalized Muslim minorities, mostly Uighurs and Kazakhs, into Han Chinese culture. The government says the centers have expanded development and helped prevent terrorism. But the internee records reviewed by VICE News reveal that the vast majority of people sent to the camps were detained for mundane and legal behavior, including wearing a hijab, having thick beards, visiting a foreign website, applying for a passport, traveling abroad to a sensitive country or having family members living in one, or being part of a religious family.
