A million Uyghur people imprisoned in China. Why?

Human Rights Magazine

More than one million Muslim Uyghurs are in Chinese internment camps. Why? What has been happening, and what will be the outcomes? Rachel Ernest Cohen explores the situation with three experts:
Darren Byler is a postdoctoral researcher with the China Made project at the University of Colorado, Boulder. His research focuses on Uyghur dispossession, culture work and "terror capitalism" in the city of Ürümchi, the capital of Chinese Central Asia (Xinjiang).
Barbara Kelemen, a China-Middle East security analyst, is a research fellow at the Central European Institute of Asian Studies and a research associate for Asia Pacific, Intelligence & Analysis at Risk Advisory Group, in London, England.
Julie Millsap is the Director of Public Affairs and Advocacy with Campaign for Uyghurs, in San Antonio, Texas.
