As of 2018, it was concluded that Chinese authorities may have detained thousands and maybe even millions of people against their will. The people in these camps are Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other ethnic Turkic Muslims, Christians, and other foreign citizens. These people are being held in camps throughout the region simply for not having the same beliefs as the Chinese Government. In these camps, people are being “re-educated” with strict discipline and punishments. They are being psychologically tortured.
