Thread by @ErkinSidick: I learned today through a middle-man from a former Uyghur female prisoner that more than 1 million Uyghurs have died in “Southern Xinjiang” since 2017, & more than 3 million camp detainees have been transported to Han provinces as slave-laborers. 1/n
She was tortured with electroshock weapons and police baton stick many times, just as the video below, and her whole body is full of blackened areas and baton scars. 2/n
One time, a 20-year old cell-mate got menstrual period. Because no paper pads for detainees, she tore off a piece of her pants & gave it to that girl. The guards found it out and tortured her with electroshock weapon and baton just like in the above video. 3/n #SaveUyghurs
This former prisoner became aware of 40 deaths inside the prisons, and 30 deaths outside the prisons (after she was released). Those died outside the prisons are all former Uyghur prisoners and camp detainees. #SaveUyghurs #CloseTheCamps 4/n
Most of those 3+ million Uyghurs are 16 – 45 years old males. For that reason, now almost no Uyghur males can be found on streets in “Southern Xinjiang”. 5/n
