Video of the forced patriotism of Uyghur detainees that was widely circulated among Uyghurs in the diaspora in February 2018.
As the Uyghur linguist and educator Abduwali Ayup, who was detained for over a year in 2013, explained in a Facebook post: "This is what a Chinese detaining center looks like. They are Uyghur detainees, they are singing ‘There is no new life without Chinese Communist Party.’ They are singing for (their) meal. This room is an ordinary cell for ordinary detainees. It is about 27 square meters, but there are at least thirty detainees. I had experienced this life for 15 months in Ürümchi, from August 20th 2013 to November 20th 2014. The police (officer) is standing with gun on that bright side monitoring the detainees. The detainees stay here 24 hours, the toilet is inside just opposite side of the door, everyone can see when you are using toilet. It is too sad to see this again and remember those days . . ."
This video is a reminder that what we can see can see is just the secondary effects of the real horror that is taking place in the Uyghur homeland.
