The Xinjiang Papers, revealed by the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e in 2019, expose the brutal repression of the Uyghur ethnicity by means of forced mass detention­--the biggest since the time of Mao. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHer name is Gulbahar Haitiwaji and she is the first Uyghur woman to write a memoir about the 'reeducation' camps. For three years Haitiwaji endured hundreds of hours of interrogations, torture, hunger, police violence, brainwashing, forced sterilization, freezing cold, and nights under blinding neon light in her prison cell. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese camps are to China what the Gulags were to the USSR. The Chinese government denies that they are concentration camps, seeking to legitimize their existence in the name of the \"total fight against Islamic terrorism, infiltration and separatism,\" and calls them \"schools.\" But none of this is true. Gulbahar only escaped thanks to the relentless efforts of her daughter. Her courageous memoir is a terrifying portrait of the atrocities she endured in the Chinese gulag and how the treatment of the Uyghurs at the hands of the Chinese government is just the latest example of their oppression of independent minorities within Chinese borders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Xinjiang region where the Uyghurs live is where the Chinese government wishes there to be a new \"silk route,\" connecting Asia to Europe, considered to be the most important political project of president Xi Jinping.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1966 in Ghulja in the Xinjiang region, Gulbahar Haitiwaji was an executive in the Chinese oil industry before leaving for France in 2006 with her husband and children, who obtained the status of political refugees.
