Uyghur woman’s scream “Rape every night…

Claims that organized rape, group rape, and torture are being committed against Uighur women imprisoned in the Uyghur’retraining’ facility in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region in the northwestern part of China are shocking me.

The BBC reported on the 3rd based on the testimony of women who escaped the facility and security guards.

It is known that the program for forced acceptance of the Uighurs and the “retraining” program was conducted after Chinese President Xi Jinping, who visited the city in 2014, gave a guideline saying, “Do not show mercy, but respond”.

A Uighur woman who had been imprisoned for nine months in the US was exiled to the United States. “A lot of women were taken every night and were raped by men in suits and masks.” “I also raped three times by two or three people. I was exposed.”

He also said, “Chinese men put electric shocks into my womb and tortured, and the young woman who was taken to another room kept screaming,” he said. “After returning to the room, I went completely crazy and became a different person.”

In a separate testimony recorded by the private human rights organization’Uyghur Human Rights Project’, it was argued that “in the Uyghur accommodation facility, torture was carried out with electric chairs, electric gloves, electric helmets, and anal insertion of electric rods.”

Another Kazakh woman who escaped there said, “What I did in the prison for 18 months is to strip Uyghur women’s clothes, tie their hands, and hand them over to a Chinese man who came in from outside the Chinese public security or prison facilities.” If I got caught, I used to give me money after work.”

This woman also testified that systematic rape was committed.

Another woman also told the BBC that she had witnessed camp guards publicly rape women.

Even Chinese men in the camps not only raped, but also bitten off the victim’s entire body, leaving life-long scars.

They screamed, “Forcing an intrauterine contraceptive device or undergoing sterilization.”

A security guard who worked there said, “I made the prisoners memorize the verses of the book about Xi Jinping accurately,” and “if wrong, we didn’t give food.”

He added, “People who failed to memorize were forced to wear clothes in three colors depending on the number of times, once, twice, and three times,” he added. “Accordingly, they were subject to various punishments such as deprivation of food and beating.”
