6 Children's Camps Detected in Yarkand

While occupying China sends Uyghur and other Muslim Turkish families to concentration camps in East Turkistan, it places their remaining children in state-controlled boarding schools. In Child Collection Camps called "Angels' Nests," ideological and psychological pressures are applied, and children are separated from their families as China attempts to raise individuals hostile to their identity, religion, and culture.
The large-scale mass detentions and arrests that began in East Turkistan in 2017 upended the lives of thousands of families. The Chinese government established boarding schools to assimilate the children of detained parents. These schools are given pleasant names like "Angels' Nest" and "House of Love" to create an innocent image. However, the genocidal purpose behind these boarding schools reveals the reality in the region.
SO-CALLED ANGEL SCHOOLS, ESSENTIALLY CHILD CAMPS!
According to obtained information, these schools where Uyghur children whose parents were sent to concentration camps are placed appear to function as orphanages and educational institutions. However, strict security measures are notable at the schools. While there are police checkpoints at school entrances, barbed wire sits atop high walls.
According to Radio Free Asia's (RFA) December 6, 2024 report, based on statements from a Chinese security officer contacted via satellite phone, at least 6 different child camps operate in the Yarkand district of East Turkistan alone. For example, schools in Lenger, Arslanbag, and Chaharbag towns are among places where children's daily lives face constant ideological interference.
MASS ASSIMILATION AND GENOCIDE IS OCCURRING IN EAST TURKISTAN
Children staying in these boarding schools are constantly monitored psychologically and ideologically. Chinese police and teachers are tasked with monitoring children's "thought world." Another Chinese security officer contacted by RFA indicates it's unclear when children whose parents are still in so-called "re-education" camps will reunite with their families.
The Chinese security officer states that such camps haven't decreased but rather increased. It's reported that a new orphanage opened in Lenger town last week, where 30 children are being educated. This situation also reveals that families continue to be arrested simultaneously.
