The UN has raised the alarm. The US and Canada have called it genocide.
But China has repeatedly denied the accusations.
So what do we know? And should the world be doing more?

CORRECTION: Due to an editing error, an incomplete translation appears in this episode. The complete statement by a Uigher child should have read, "What's your name?" ; "Mohammed!" ; "Where are you from?" ; "China!" ; "Do you love China?" ; "I love China!" The complete statement can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG23BPrP3qQ We apologise for the error.

Why should I watch this on Al Jazeera, it's exactly the same as BBC and CNN
-
ASPI??? Are you kidding me? You might as well cite Mike Pompeo. It's obvious who funds HRW too.
-
Was curious what Uyghur people looks like and where it's located because Dilraba is so beautiful. For me she's the most beautiful person in China.

Cruelty, torture, terrorism all ends in failure. Humans can only be handled with love ,justice ,care and respect.

Bruh, what wrong with the translation. I am Chinese from Singapore. The word they speak doesn't match the translation. I can understand the Mandarin
-
In Xinjiang, Uighurs are not the only muslim minorities. There is another large muslim group called Hui. How come we never hear anything from them??
-
Aren't you ashamed of all this nonsense?
-
Astonishing how she uses the word allegations so casually!!!
-
They start with a rumor that you have committed a crime, then ask you to prove that you have not committed a crime, then ignore any evidence you present and make only one demand: that if you want the charges dropped, then you must meet their demands and interests.

What American did and still doing in Iraq, Afghanistan,Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia etc killed millions of innocent people shouldn't sanctions passed on it too?

我在新疆乌鲁木齐长大,从小都有少数民族同学一起上学,大学他们可以享受加分政策,可以更好受到大学教育,我作为汉族,无法得到加分政策照顾。但现在理解,为了给他们更好生活,大学我也去喀什大学去读维吾尔语专业,几乎都是少数民族的同学。所谓的被迫劳动是没有的,都是自愿去摘棉花,为了可以挣钱,同时在其他省的民工也会去新疆摘棉花挣钱。宗教信仰可以,只要不要影响你的上学和参政。你就可以自愿信仰,没有人强迫,没有人阻止你信仰宗教。在中国,有很多宗教信仰,道教,佛教,伊斯兰教,基督教等,都是可以选择信仰。大部分西方报道中国都是带着政治目的。这类谎言不攻自破,在疫情过后,希望各位网友有机会去新疆看看走走。中国欢迎你,新疆欢迎你。

Can you show us the warrants for the Guantanamo Bay detainees, please? And of course, also for the Uyghurs who were detained there. Also, the English language can be so confusing sometimes: why is waterboarding Uyghurs at Guantanamo called fighting terrorism and re-educating Uyghurs in Xinjiang called genocide? In which western museums are the weapons of mass destruction that were found in Iraq on display? And by the way, have your reporters been to Xinjiang itself and can you tell me if it's just like most decent places on earth - with some good and some bad things happening? I'm learning so much from western mainstream media; I don't know why I bother to think at all.

2:32 the back of the firefighter suit says kunming of yunnan province. apparently it's to show past terrorist attack in kunming.
-
At 2:33, uniform says “云南消防” which mean Yunnan fire department Yunnan is a province thousands of kilometres away from xinjiang in southwest China. This show has no credibility for sure.
-
No one is talking about this because they're too busy making tik toks and arguing with each other instead of working together to help others.

One fact must state, 1 child policy was only applied to Han, not minority
-
2:47 "In 2009 there are riots and fights between Uighurs and Han Chinese, and 200 people died". It is not "riots and fights", it is not fight between Uighurs and Han, it is terrorism. Terrorists are attaching innocent people, regardless their ethnic.
-
to understand the policy on security measure in xinjiang, you have to look into the history in the past decades. hundereds brutally murdered, they have names, location, date&time, photos on record. and still described as "occasionally violent events by small groups...".

She stood up like she was about to sit on another chair. She actually did.
