PERSPECTIVES | China's massive system of concentration camps for Uyghur Muslims — an estimated one million of them, are euphemistically dubbed 'vocational education centers.' After reports a Uyghur musician had died in custody, Chinese authorities released a video to prove he was alive.
Now, Uyghurs all over the world are demanding proof their loved ones are alive too. A social media campaign with the hashtag #MeTooUyghur was launched. Founder of the campaign Dr. Halmurat Uyghur talks with host Eylon Levy.
