REPLAY: The horror of China's 're-education' camps W/ Nuria Yu & Nathan Ruser
Manage episode 337924588 series 3382361
In 2021, Gen spoke to Nuria Yu and Nathan Ruser about the ongoing persecution of the Uyghur ethnic group in China. It's estimated that up to 2 million Uyghurs have been detained in 're-education' camps that are similar to the concentration camps of World War II. There's evidence the Chinese government is forcibly sterilising, torturing and enslaving Uyghurs -- which human rights groups say constitutes genocide.
Nuria Yu is a Uyghur woman and activist living in Australia. She has family in China who have been persecuted and detained.
Nathan Ruser is a research at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI). Through looking at satellite images, he was able to uncover multiple 're-education' camps.
