Sairagul Sauytbay, an ethnic Kazakh from China, was sent to work as a teacher in one of the country’s so-called “reeducation camps.” Human rights researchers say more than 1 million detainees, mostly Muslims, have been imprisoned in the camps. In 2018, Sauytbay escaped to Kazakhstan, then Sweden, and began recounting shocking stories of torture and oppression at the camp in China’s Xinjiang region. Her efforts to reveal the conditions there have won her international recognition.
