How I survived a Chinese 're-education' camp for Uighurs
www.theguardian.com
The long read: After 10 years living in France, I returned to China to sign some papers and I was locked up. For the next two years, I was systematically dehumanised, humiliated and brainwashed

a completely unsourced rant, from the same people that peddled the 'Iraq has WMD's' bullshit.

Some names have been changed.

Was Adrien Zenz one of them?

    why isn't there a single link to primary sources in that article?

    Edit: There is a link to the white paper at the end of the 5th paragraph. It's only 26 pages so since we have to be serious it's better to read that before reading the CPI-ML Liberation's summary. The CPI-ML Liberation should really reconsider their CSS.

      Blatant lie. Within a few paragraphs the article links directly to an official translation of China’s 2019 White Paper On Uyghurs, and references leaked documents throughout.

      It is the White Paper which is most cited throughout the article since it aims to conclude using the PRC's own documents that

      We do not have to look further than China’s own documents and its own propaganda organs to recognize that the Chinese State is holding vast numbers of Uyghurs in concentration camps, subjecting the entire Uyghur community both inside and outside the camps to forced indoctrination, surveillance and censorship, and attempting to erase the identity and culture of the Uyghur people. China has been touting its Xinjiang model as a successful model of “counterterrorism” which the world should adopt. Certainly, Narendra Modi and his fascist regime in India, would be happy to adopt China’s Xinjiang model for Kashmir, and for minorities and dissenters in the whole of India, lock, stock, and barrel.

        Dude that link is so hard to parse from just normal text. I knew it was cited throughout hence my wish for the original primary source. I just expect that if you're mentioning a white paper that it would be readable somewhere. I really didn't see the link.
