The Reporter obtained more than one thousand testimonies and drawings from victims who were once jailed in the "re-education camps" from a Kazakh human rights group, Atajurt Kazakh Human Rights. The victims drew how they lived and what happened in the camps. The six of the drawings were from the victim, Aidana Nurlan, who was imprisoned for six months.

We can see the situation from the drawings that the 1.5 million Uyghurs in Xinjiang currently face. More than 20 people are jailed in 15 square meter cell sharing two excrement buckets. They were asked to sit quietly for 14 hours without allowing to talk or sleep. It is a long way from the so-called "learning" by the Chinese government.

Even though the Chinese government denied the inhuman treatments in the camps, the victims' testimonies are denouncing the Chinese government's lies.

"When we called our family members from the camp, the guards kept every word we said on record. If what I said was different from what he put down, I would get punished. Therefore, all we can say was 'all is good.'"
