CHPSRERT @patrickpoon: That doesn’t seem to reflect what @UN secretary general should be concerned about. And no comment on the mass detention of #Uyghurs, #Kazakhs and others in #Xinjiang? #HumanRights should always be the UN’s priority. Sorry, but I have to say - pathetic. http://bit.ly/2Y5URsT http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1123648294175985666

CHPSRERT @rob_schmitz: (6) when I asked for details about why people ended up at the center, one woman told me it was because she wouldn’t allow her children to take part in an ethnic song and dance event. One man told me it was b/c he didn’t let his wife work. http://bit.ly/2GVKK3K http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1123648160901918720

CHPSRERT @rob_schmitz: (5) We were told this is the only vocational center in Kashgar. The principal strongly denied stories I and others have heard of torture at these types of centers. http://bit.ly/2Y3uovZ http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1123648090609573888

CHPSRERT @rob_schmitz: (4) None of the students knew when they’d be able to leave the center, and when asked, nobody seemed to know how, exactly, they could leave. Most had been there around a year. http://bit.ly/2GW6Q6k http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1123648057046736898

CHPSRERT @rob_schmitz: (3) We saw classes being taught in tourism, online retail, clothes making, electrician training, and culture. All students told me they had “serious extremist thoughts,” and needed to be at the center to prevent further “poisoning”. http://bit.ly/2XZqlk1 http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1123647998091620354

CHPSRERT @rob_schmitz: (2) The principal is Mejit Mahmut. He told us the students at the center are there because they are “infected with extremist thoughts,” and that they stay there on avg 7 mos-1.5 yr. He said they are allowed to return home on weekends. http://bit.ly/2GVvi7M http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1123647934673764353

CHPSRERT @rob_schmitz: Our government-led group just concluded our visit to the Kashgar city vocational education and training center. We were told 1500 people between ages 20-40 live/study there. (1/-) http://bit.ly/2XZqeoB http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1123647898225262593

CHPSRERT @williamnee: This is a valuable tweet thread. Note: refusing to dance can be a manifestation of "extremism", apparently. And note the dancing #Uighurs in the camps. Maybe Uighurs need a new hashtag? #我不要给你跳舞 #DancingShouldBeConsensual http://bit.ly/2GVKJNe http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1123647844156493824
