Education Camp: Official Escort and Chinese Officials

education camp: Asked what would happen if a Uighur refused to attend, Shu Le's principal, Mamat Ali, became quiet. ; If they don't want to come, they will have to go through judicial procedures, Ali said after a pause, adding that many stay for at least seven months, according to The Japan Times. Shu Le is one of an unknown number of re-education camps in Xinjiang, a Muslim-majority region at the heart of President Xi Jinping's Belt and Road initiative to connect Asia with Europe. Inside are hundreds of minority Muslim Uighurs who have no way of leaving without an official escort, even though Chinese officials who took a group of foreign journalists around the transformation through education camp this past week insisted they were there voluntarily. The U.S. State Department says as many as 2 million Uighurs are being held in the camps, a number disputed by Chinese officials even though they won't disclose an official figure. The schedule was tightly controlled, with events planned from early morning to 11 p.m., and it included stops in many of the same places I visited on an unguided 10-day trip to the region in November. I participated in a government-sponsored tour along with four other foreign media organizations through three cities in Xinjiang. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
