Authorized to “Wash Clean the Brains”: Re-education Camps 101
Executive Summary
The suggested estimate of mass detention in the Uyghur region proposes an upper limit of 1.8 million, corresponding to approximately 15.4 percent of the Uyghur and other Turkic group adult population. Leaked police records such as the Qaraqash list, Konasheher list, and other files provide significant evidence for the mass detention campaign’s massive scale and arbitrary nature. Australian Strategic Policy Institute researchers have identified and mapped over 380 detention facilities across the Uyghur region through satellite imagery analysis. Reports from various sources, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, provide significant evidence for mass human rights violations in these facilities that constitute crimes against humanity.
