A massive new set of data, documents and photographs reveal the inner workings of prisons and mass internment camps in Xinjiang, where the Chinese government has detained Uyghurs and other ethnic groups, a consortium of media outlets reported yesterday.
Why it matters: The trove of data, known as the Xinjiang Police Files, provides overwhelming evidence that tens of thousands of Uyghurs have been detained in maximum security facilities — contradicting Chinese government claims that the centers provide voluntary vocational training.
