Gulzire Alwuqanqizi, Kazakh nation who was taken to different camps and forced to work as a cleaner inside. She testified to her horrific experience in camp and what she had witnessed during her time in these camps. @TribunalUyghur
@TribunalUyghur "When I was working in the second camp I worked as a cleaner. When I was in the second camp I was kept shackled for 6 months, after that they made me become cleaner. I saw they brought Uyghur women in the room to rape them, after that, I had to wash them."-Gulzire Alwuqanqizi.
"I stayed with mostly Uyghur women. I heard their screams shouts and no one came to help them. When I was a cleaner, I had to clean the whole place so I saw all the torture devices. I had to clean them."-Gulzire Alwuqanqizi.
"When I was in camp I had to clean all the premises, when I was trying to clean a room, a man was standing there so I asked him to move slightly to the side, but he said I paid for coming here & I stay where I want to stay."-Gulzire Alwuqanqizi.
"Whenever we have to go to the toilet we were punished. We were sitting in class for 15 hours, & the toilet time is only 2 mins, but due to the long period of time of sitting, no movements, we were all constipated so it took us longer than 2 mins & the guards will beat our heads"
"When an old woman tried to wash her hands in the basin they viewed it as a religious practice & kept her in Tiger chair & put me in a Tiger chair for 24 hours as well for allowing her to do that."-Gulzire Alwuqanqizi testified at @TribunalUyghur
@TribunalUyghur "When I worked at the gloves factory, we were ordered to make 20 gloves a day, but I only could make11. Per glove was10 Chinese Yuan. Every glove is made by 7 people. I participated in parts of the process. We had to sew it in Chinese style but I had never been able to make 20."
"When I was in the first camp they injected me with alleged flu shot after I was there for 3 months. But whenever I was in a new camp they draw blood from me, sometimes a group of us will be called to draw blood sometimes they will only call my name. I didn't know why."
"They draw blood several times. 3 times a month. After the injections, I felt fatigued and when we complain about this they took us to get our signature and gave us a white pill after I take that I feel fatigued and fell asleep."-Gulzire Alwuqanqizi
"I do not know where these women have been taken, but when they came back they had red marks on their face and body. They will say it is because they fell when they were walking.
There was a girl name Zeynure, whenever she walked she peed, and it won’t stop."
"There was a woman who was missing one leg. She had to walk with a cane but the guards will kick her cane and she will fall. I helped her to stand up but the guards put me on a Tiger chair 24 hours and asked me if I knew this woman, why did I help her."-Gulzire Alwuqanqizi
"These were not re-education camps, it was torture camps!"

Gulzire Alwuqanqizi breaks down in tears whilst testifying to her horrifying experiences in concentration camps.
"In 2018, in one of the camps, the guards forced us to use a bucket as a toilet, & through the little hole that they hand us food, they also handed us Quran, & if we picked up the Quran they will make us throw it in the bucket. We had to do it on top of it."-Gulzire Alwuqanqizi.

.@PeterIrwin_ of @UyghurProject testifies at @TribunalUyghur about the arrest of Uyghur religious figures and intellectuals.
@PeterIrwin_ @UyghurProject @TribunalUyghur "We spoke to 5 imams, we wanted to learn what was happening to Imams in Xj. These Imams have been going in and out of prisons back in the 90s. Eventually what was happening to these Imams was for example they will go to patriotic courses in Urumqi for 15 days."@PeterIrwin_
"They were told that their preaching has to be in line with the party policies. They were responding to restrictions in a creative way. They found ways to continue to teach children. The surveillance, control & detention of close associates have made them leave the country."

The afternoon session of @TribunalUyghur second hearing started with Rodney Dixon QC who regularly appears in all international criminal courts, including the ICC. He provided an overview of his submission to the ICC Prosecutor regarding the persecution of Uyghurs in ICC states.
@TribunalUyghur "Early indications of genocides are the number of people in thousands who disappearing & are not being heard again. It doesn’t equate to assimilation. If they were to bring people back to work in the Chinese system then we will be hearing from them again, they won’t be silenced."
"The alleged plan is to bring them back and target them as a group, regard them as terrorists, but there is no evidence of any person involved in any terrorist activities." -Rodney Dixon QC. #UyghurTribunal

‘Perfect Police State’ author @geoffrey_cain speaks of the CCP's surveillance of the entire Uyghur region, “slow, sinister erasure” of Uyghur culture, the complicity of tech firms, & how the surveillance has been embedded in the daily life of Uyghurs under the PRC #UyghurTribunal Image
@geoffrey_cain "what started out as a targeted campaign on counter-terrorism/anti-terrorism emerged rather like a snowball effect. People who developed technology bought into the CCP’s propaganda before they knew what it was really for." @geoffrey_cain testifies at @TribunalUyghur
"With the help of her family, one of my interviewees got out of the camp. After her release she said for at least one year she couldn't do anything & she was very traumatized. Through the process of going to a psychologist, she understood what had happened to her." @geoffrey_cain

Rukiye Turdush @parlabest speaks of the CCP's Family Planning Policies & how the family planning workers approach the Uyghur people.
"Most family planning workers are very loyal to the Chinese govt, & they assist the govt while being aware of genocidal consequences." Image
"In 2017, Xinjiang Party Secretary Chen Quanguo encouraged officials to “round up everyone
who should be rounded up.” This vague phrase appears repeatedly in internal documents
from 2017." -Rukiye Turdush @parlabest
"Parents of Uyghur children were arrested & these kids were removed from their homes to orphanage camps & not allowed to see their parents, so they break their lineage, they were not allowed to practice their religion & culture & not allowed to speak the language." @parlabest

Doctor @MayaMitalipova who is Director of Human Stem Cell Laboratory, at Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, MIT speaks of Uyghurs, Kazakhs
& other Muslims in Xj subjected to forcefully health
check and their blood was used for DNA sequencing. Image
@MayaMitalipova "For successful organ transplantation doctors rely on several important criteria including three main blood tests, cell surface tests and limited DNA tests to determine if a patient and a potential donor are a match." @MayaMitalipova @TribunalUyghur
"Next to concentration camps, there are crematoriums as reported by @RFA_UyghurNews, and there are a lot of people who are missing in the camps, this could be the result of torture or they are subjected to organ harvesting as well in my opinion." @MayaMitalipova #UyghurTribunal
