Krátky popis
First-hand account of life inside China's prison camps",I have
written what I lived. The atrocious reality.", -Gulbahar Haitiwaji
to Paris MatchFor three years, she endured hundreds of hours of
interrogation, torture, hunger, police violence, cold, and rats.
Her name is Gulbahar Haitiwaji and she is the first Uyghur woman
survivor of Chinese re-education camps to give a connected and
detailed account of what happens there.The camps are China's
equivalent of the Gulag in Stalin's Russia. Since 2017, they have
been 'home' to more than a million Uyghurs. The Uyghurs are a
Turkish-speaking Muslim ethnic group in the western region of
Xinjiang, which is coveted by the Chinese Communist Party because
it is located on the 'new silk roads' - the flagship project of
President Xi Jinping.A bipartisan commission of the United States
Congress says China's treatment of the Uyghurs is so appalling it
may amount to 'genocide.' The Chinese Communist Party says the
camps are part of 'the total fight against Islamic terrorism,
infiltration and separatism.' Gulbahar's testimony is chilling: she
starkly recounts her experiences in the Chinese camp system and how
she was saved thanks to the intervention of her daughter and the
French foreign ministry. This rare account of life inside China's
gulag is visceral and internationally important.",In the camps, the
re-education process is systematic in that it applies the same
remorseless method to destroying all its victims. It starts out by
stripping them of their individuality. It takes away your name,
your clothes, your hair. There is nothing now to distinguish you
from anyone else. Then the process takes over your body by
subjecting it to a hellish routine: being forced by teachers to
unendingly recite the glories of the Communist Party for eleven
hours a day in a windowless classroom. Falter, and you are
punished. So you keep on saying them same things over and over
again until you can't feel, can't think anymore. You lose all sense
of time: first the hours, then the days.",
