We spoke with dozens of people for this report who provided unprecedented levels of detail and insight into what is happening in Xinjiang and with the Uyghur community. Read the full thing here: https://t.co/EetfqCb7AZ

[[email protected] @alisonkilling]

Researchers and activists say the loss of working-age adults is hollowing out communities, especially in southern Xinjiang where the Uyghur population is concentrated.

Beijing has also expanded labour programmes that move Uyghurs into factory work elsewhere in China — schemes UN experts have said may amount to forced labour - with 3 million people transferred last year.

Children are separated from families at young ages through a sprawling boarding school system. Uyghur activists say this is creating a “generation gap” where many no longer understand their elders’ language.

[[email protected] @alisonkilling]

Our investigation sheds new light on what experts, activists and members of the Uyghur diaspora describe as Beijing’s long-term effort to reshape a people and their culture.

We also found that if Xinjiang were a country, it would have the highest incarceration rate in the world at 1,944 per 100,000 people. China has an incarceration rate of 119 per 100,000 people.

[[email protected] @alisonkilling]

The analysis found the region currently has capacity to detain around 627,000 people without overcrowding, making it the world’s largest detention system relative to population.

[[email protected] @alisonkilling]

It also showed that southern Xinjiang was the focus of the detention campaign, especially Kashgar and Hotan.

[[email protected] @alisonkilling]

We calculated the gross floor area of each detention facility over time, allowing us to see how the network changed.

[[email protected] @alisonkilling]

Many of the camps, especially the makeshift camps of the early days of the mass detention campaign, appear to have closed. But they leave behind a sprawling network of prisons and detention centres.

[[email protected] @alisonkilling]

Using satellite imagery, govt docs, local media reports and eyewitness accounts, the FT tracked 579 detention compounds across Xinjiang and their expansion, closure or continued use over time.

[[email protected] @alisonkilling]

NEW: Xinjiang has the highest detention capacity in the world, according to FT analysis - enough space for almost 1 in 40 people in the region - more than five years after the Chinese govt announced the camps had closed.

"Heavy air strikes have hit residential areas in the southern city of Tyre, damaging apartment buildings & a religious complex. At least 8 people have been killed in a day of attacks.. an air strike near a hospital has injured at least 13 medical workers.."

“This invasion is about self defense, which is why we are gloating about taking over an empty UNESCO heritage site.”

"The dueling attacks reflect the fragility of a weekslong ceasefire in the Iran war, which has seen repeated attacks even as American and Iranian officials try to negotiate a deal to extend it." https://t.co/CKX6HEpE8s
