TO GO WITH China-Xinjiang-Uyghurs-camps, INVESTIGATION by Matthew WALSH
This picture taken on July 15, 2023 shows children walking past a disused detention centre near Kashgar in China's northwestern Xinjiang region. Since 2017, more than a million Uyghurs and other Muslims have been swept into internment camps where human rights abuses are commonplace, researchers, campaigners and members of the diaspora say. Beijing says the facilities were voluntary centres for teaching vocational skills, closed years ago after their inhabitants "graduated" into stable employment and better lives.
