U.S. accuses China of detaining up to 3 million Xinjiang Muslims in 'concentration camps'
WASHINGTON - The United States accused China on Friday of putting well more than a million minority Muslims in"concentration camps," in some of the strongest U.S. condemnation to date of what it calls Beijing's mass detention of mostly Muslim Uighur minority and other Muslim groups.
Former detainees have described to Reuters being tortured during interrogation at the camps, living in crowded cells and being subjected to a brutal daily regimen of party indoctrination that drove some people to suicide.
When asked by a reporter why he used the term, Schriver said that it was justified"given what we understand to be the magnitude of the detention, at least a million but likely closer to 3 million citizens out of a population of about 10 million.""So a very significant portion of the population, what's happening there, what the goals are of the Chinese government and their own public comments make that a very, I think, appropriate description," he said.U.S.
The governor of Xinjiang in March directly dismissed comparisons to concentration camps, saying they were"the same as boarding schools."
