‘Genocide Watch is issuing a Genocide Emergency Alert for the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang) of China. For decades, the Chinese government has systematically restricted the religious, cultural, and social practices of Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities in Xinjiang. The CCP is using high-tech surveillance in Xinjiang to monitor and detain Uyghurs and other Muslims. Authorities in Xinjiang are collecting biometric data on Uyghur residents including fingerprints, iris scans, and DNA from forced blood extraction. A mass surveillance database is being used to track the personal records and GPS coordinates of millions of Xinjiang residents.

Over one million Uyghurs and Muslims have been arbitrarily imprisoned in 1,300 “re-education camps,” state run detention centers. At the internment camps, detainees undergo political indoctrination and are forced to renounce their Uyghur cultural and Muslim religious beliefs. Since 2017, efforts to control Uyghur women have increased with the expansion of home stay programs that assign Han Chinese spies to live with Uyghur families. The Chinese government is reducing Uyghur birth rates by forcing Uyghur women to get abortions, undergo sterilization, and implant IUDs. Birth rates have dropped more than 60% in Uyghur regions of Xinjiang.

Genocide Stage: 9 Extermination’
