China is in hot water with allegations of crimes against humanity that they claim is not true. However their is a contradicting report of horrendous abuse toward Uyghur Muslims and other minorities. apparently, organizations have been trying to call attention to these "Re-education camps" in China for years. These camps hold the people against their will. The article states ""the extent of arbitrary and discriminatory detention of members of Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim groups ... may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity"" (Murphy et al). Some of the allegations of acts at these camps include torture, forced medical procedures, and sexual violence. What struck me the most was the idea that human rights organizations have been trying to draw attention to this for years. I guess we will see how this plays out as China denies all allegations. I hope they get justice for these people.
