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.

Erbakit Otarbay testimony:
"When I asked the question of why I am detained, I was beaten servilely. The food in camps is awful, even the dog will not eat it. Whenever we ask for better food, they (the Chinese guards) will get upset and take us to a room to beat us." Image "They beat us at places that have no cameras. The washroom has no camera, so they take us there & beat us."
"They would beat us with whatever they have in their hands. They would do it only in that room. The same thing happened while I spend time in prison."

We sang CCP red songs."
