A new report exposes the crime of separating Chinese Uyghur teenagers from their families

A newly released report provides evidence of China's heinous crime of removing Uyghur teenagers from their families and completely sinicizing them through forced assimilation.
On July 19, a report titled "Massive Kidnapping and Forced Assimilation of Uyghur Teenagers in China" was published on the official website of the "East Turkistan National Interest Center". This report details the unprecedented historical repression taking place in East Turkistan, and shows strong evidence that Chinese Uyghur teenagers have been taken from their families for the purpose of sinicization and forced assimilation.
The report was jointly prepared by Dr. Magnus Fiskecio from Cornell University and independent researcher Mrs. Rukia Turdush. The report emphasizes that the largest crimes of child abduction and forced assimilation are currently taking place in East Turkistan under Chinese colonial rule. The report states that China has carried out a series of mass abductions targeting Uyghur, Kazakh, and other Turkic children in East Turkistan as part of China's crackdown on the region.
The report shows that although China started mass abductions in 2017, China's suppression actually started in 1949. China's removal of Uyghur children from their families can be traced back to China's immigration-colonial policies. This crime affects hundreds of thousands of children in China.
According to the report, China sent Uyghur teenagers to so-called "special schools" and forcibly separated them from their families, relatives, language, and cultural environment, and prevented them from using their own language and writing.
According to the report, Uyghur teenagers who disobeyed China's rule were punished with beatings and torture. According to witnesses who recently testified about this, Uyghur teenagers were separated from their culture and mother tongue, so they forgot their mother tongue within two years and became unable to speak in their mother tongue.
The evidence in this report about the crimes of suppression and separation of Chinese Uyghur children from their families is taken from different sources. Among them are statements of witnesses, photos, and videos of guards in the so-called "Daryletham." In addition, details of China's crimes have been confirmed by Chinese social media and China's relevant authorities.
The authors prepared this report in conjunction with the October 27, 2023 event at Cornell University titled "Uyghur Youth in China's Genocide Movement."
Previously published reports on this matter also revealed that China had organized a children's camp under the name of "Yesli" by hiding Uyghur teenagers in abandoned government buildings and closed mosques in various places in East Turkistan. In order to hide these crimes from the international community, China has been naming its children's camps as the so-called "garden of angels," forbidding Uyghur teenagers from speaking their native language, forcibly separating children from their families when they cannot speak their language, and training them to be completely Chinese, completely separating them from their ethnic and religious identity. They are trying to assimilate and scale up their children's camps.
