Xinjiang XPosed: history, crisis, and global activism

In late 2018, aerial images revealed the existence of internment camps in Xinjiang, China. Reports were emerging of forced labor of the Uyghur populations in Xinjiang and around China. While the Chinese Communist Party has framed such camps as re-education centers for Uyghur Muslims necessary to combat extremism in the region, there are increasing reports alleging human rights violations in the region.
