China ‘promotes repentance’ in Uyghur prison camps, leaked reports show

Leaked documents dubbed the “China cables” have revealed details of how the country runs its high-security prison camps for Uyghurs in Xinjiang province.

China has long come under criticism for human rights abuses and its policy of rounding up Uyghur Muslims and detaining them in internment camps.

The leaked documents include a nine-page memo sent out in 2017 by then deputy secretary of Xinjiang’s Communist Party to officials running the camps.
