Summary:
"A powerful memoir by Nury Turkel lays bare
China
's repression of the Uyghur people. Turkel is cofounder and board chair of the Uyghur Human Rights Project and a commissioner for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom after being appointed by Nancy Pelosi in May 2020. In recent years, the People'
s
Republic of
China
has rounded up as many as three million
Uyghurs
, placing them in what it calls "reeducation camps," facilities most of the world identifies as concentration camps. There, the
genocide
and enslavement of the Uyghur people are ongoing. The tactics employed are reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution, but the results are far more insidious because of the technology used, most of it stolen from Silicon Valley. In the words of Turkel, "Communist
China
has created an open prison-like environment through the most intrusive surveillance state that the world has ever known while committing
genocide
and enslaving the
Uyghurs
on the world'
s
watch." As a human rights attorney and Uyghur activist who now serves on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, Turkel tells his personal
story
to help explain the urgency and scope of the Uyghur crisis. Born in 1970 in a reeducation camp, he was lucky enough to survive and eventually make his way to the US, where he became the first Uyghur to receive an American law degree. Since then, he has worked as a prominent lawyer, activist, and spokesperson for his people and advocated strong policy responses from the liberal democracies to address atrocious crimes against his people."--From publisher.
