With one million minority Uyghur Muslims detained for re-education, what becomes of their children? They are locked in “schools” of Han Chinese propaganda.

"There is increasing consensus that conceptually, at its central core, genocide is the thought and act to nullify, to erase absolutely a segment of the human population.

the fullest extent possible – the presence of a targeted population. This can range from the destruction of group-life to the total annihilation of memory, history, and culture.
