'I was informed by the Chinese embassy in Turkey that all of my family members are in prison'


Satellite imagery has shown large facilities that look like prison camps springing up across China’s Xinjiang province over the past few years - there have been repeated reports of hundreds of thousands of people detained for 're-education' and of widespread surveillance of the Uighur population. Earlier this week the Chinese Ambassador was shown images of hooded and bound people being put onto trains in the province - he suggested it might be a prisoner transfer of some kind. What is happening to the Uighurs? Mishal Husain spoke to Nurisman Abdurashid, a Uighur Muslim who left China in 2013 and now lives in Turkey - she has not been able to reach her parents and brothers for three years. With Agnes Callamard, UN Special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, one of 51 experts who called last month for action on human rights in China. Credit: AFP Getty Images
