women on camera
Hatiwaji said that detainees were punished for speaking in Uyghur and faced regular interrogations, during which they were hooded and strapped to chairs. On one occasion the woman said that she was chained to her bed for 20 days. As The Guardian reports, when female prisoners were being sterilised, they were told they would be inoculated. Hatiwaji said that there are cameras all over the camp. Our every move was watched.
Lost memory of so much torture
The woman said in written testimony that after her head was shaved, she felt like losing her sense of self, and even the ability to remember the faces of her family members, reports the Guardian. Kelbinur Sidiq, a human rights activist living in the Netherlands, told of being forced by Chinese officials into teaching classes in one of China’s internment camps.
Through a translator, the woman described the detention facilities as like a war zone with razor wire fencing and armed guards. The Guardian reported that Sidiq recalled hearing the horrifying screams of Uyghur prisoners as they were tortured.
Got freedom in the year 2019
Due to the campaign of Siddiq’s family and the French government, she was freed in the year 2019. She had become very weak and was encouraged to eat so that she would not appear malnourished. Before going to France, Chinese officials warned him. She was told not to tell anyone about what she had seen in the camp. If this happens then action will be taken against his family members.
