Counterpoint:

It is unclear what the “consequences” will be, but what is clear from the documents:

1. These are PRISONS and not “re-education or vocational training” schools. They are prisons because they are NON-VOLUNTARY. If an adult is kept from their families against their will and they are being indoctrinated against their will, then they are prisons.

2. The people in them are overwhelmingly NOT CRIMINALS and NOT TERRORISTS. I’m sure they swept up (by sheer chance) some potential terrorists, but they are imprisoning mostly non-criminals and non-terrorists. People have been imprisoned for having long beards, keeping Islamic books, and essentially practicing their faith. So, the imprisonments are very widespread. They are not targeted at suspected terrorists. One county party secretary was arrested for releasing 7000 of 20,000 prisoners and he was accused: "refused to round up everyone who should be rounded up". So, the 20,000 is less than what he SHOULD have rounded up. Adrian Zenz has a spreadsheet with 10,000s of people listed as imprisoned.

3. More precisely: “In Yarkand, a county of about 800,000 people in southwestern Xinjiang, 96 percent of the population is Uighur. Six official spreadsheets about six villages dated 2018 show that, on average, nearly 16 percent of the rural adult population was either interned or in prison. In two villages in Kosherik Township — which the documents describe as “heavily polluted by extremist ideology” — nearly 60 percent of all households had one person or more interned.”

4. Here is a very detailed analysis of the documents which show beyond a doubt that these are PRISONS (not in the legal sense but in terms of involuntary detention): http://www.jpolrisk.com/wash-brains-cleanse-hearts/
