I was JAILED and TORTURED in China just because I'm a UYGHUR MUSLIM!

DID YOU KNOW WHAT CHINA IS DOING TO MUSLIM WOMEN?

Gulbahar Jalilova, a Uyghur woman, detained by the Chinese authorities for almost a year and a half in the autonomous region of Xinjiang as part of China's crackdown on Uyghurs. Her testimony exposes the torture faced by the Uyghur minority and the harrowing truth behind China's "re-education" program that aims to coerce loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party.

Jalilova recounted how the women were forced by the male officers to strip without warning. Women were humiliated and made to feel ashamed about their body as Muslims. Some detainees were given injections and unknown drugs without explanation, stopping the cycle of periods for some women. Some women were tortured during the interrogation by having their nails torn off. About 40 women were crammed into one 7-meter by 3-meter cell, which was fitted with a speaker and surveillance camera. More than half of the women were in their twenties or younger. All of their heads had been shaven. They had no beds to sleep on, and the lack of space meant they had to take turns sleeping at night. Half of them stood up for two hours while the other half slept. They had to endure winter in Urumqi—which can get as cold as -5 degrees Celsius—without blankets. All conversation and Islamic prayer were strictly prohibited. Detainees were shouted at to stop praying if they were caught sitting cross-legged on camera.

Before Jalilova returned home, a police officer warned her to keep silent about her time at the camp because she would still be under surveillance outside the country. He told her that revealing anything about her time in the camp would have bad consequences for her family. After returning to Kazakhstan, she relied on her relatives to travel to Turkey first and then to France, where she applied for political asylum. Under the pretense of preventing terrorism, Chinese authorities are accused of detaining and forcing sterilization and labor on the Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China.

Please watch Gulbahar Jalilova's account and educate yourself on the Uyghur genocide. It is real and it is happening in China. The world has gone mad. Share, comment and like.
