SURVIVING AN INTERNMENT CAMP IN XINJIANG

A survivor of one of China's modern-day concentration camps has revealed the beatings, rapes and 'disappearances' she witnessed behind the barbed wire. 

Sayragul Sauytbay was born in China's north-western province and trained as a doctor before being appointed a senior civil servant.

The mother-of-two's life was upended in November 2017 when she was ordered into a concentration camp to teach prisoners, mostly Kazakhs and Uyghurs, in one of the region's estimated 1,200 gulags. 

 The internment camps of Xinjiang are estimated to house three million Kazakhs and Uyghurs who are subjected to medical experiments, torture and rape.
