UNANSWERED CRIMES: 3/4: No Escape: The True Story of China's Genocide of the Uyghurs Kindle Edition by Nury Turkel

In recent years, the People’s Republic of China has rounded up as many as three million Uyghurs, placing them in what it calls “reeducation camps,” facilities most of the world identifies as concentration camps. There, the genocide and enslavement of the Uyghur people are ongoing. The tactics employed are reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution, but the results are far more insidious because of the technology used, most of it stolen from Silicon Valley. In the words of Turkel, “Communist China has created an open prison-like environment through the most intrusive surveillance state that the world has ever known while committing genocide and enslaving the Uyghurs on the world’s watch.”
As a human rights attorney and Uyghur activist who now serves on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, Turkel tells his personal story to help explain the urgency and scope of the Uyghur crisis. Born in 1970 in a reeducation camp, he was lucky enough to survive and eventually make his way to the US, where he became the first Uyghur to receive an American law degree. Since then, he has worked as a prominent lawyer, activist, and spokesperson for his people and advocated strong policy responses from the liberal democracies to address atrocity crimes against his people.
The Uyghur crisis is turning into the greatest human rights crisis of the twenty-first century, a systematic cleansing of an entire race of people in the millions. Part Anne Frank and Hannah Arendt, No Escape shares Turkel’s personal story while drawing back the curtain on the historically unprecedented and increasing threat from China.

| 0:09.6 | He's also a fellow at the Hudson Institute. And the author Nuret Terkel is here to help |
| 0:15.9 | us understand the brutality, the sadism, the madness of the Chinese Communist Party towards |
| 0:22.9 | the weaker people. The book is no escape the true story of genocide of the weakers. |
| 0:29.2 | Genesad is a strong word. We're going to demonstrate very clearly in several anecdotes by brave young |
| 0:36.5 | women. How they stood up to the persecution and the brutality, the mass murder of the Chinese |
| 0:44.6 | Communist Party towards the weakers. Nuret, you write of three women. Zoom rot, |
| 0:50.5 | a miracle and a bell, a banner. All three for different reasons are imprisoned by the Chinese |
| 1:00.5 | Communist Party. My guess is sometime after 2016 the persecution seems to have accelerated |
| 1:06.9 | starting around 2015, 2016. The reason they're persecuted is not as important as how they're |
| 1:14.2 | persecuted. China's agents, and we named one of the most harsh ones, Juahailan. |
| 1:21.8 | China's agents are charged with erasing the weaker people. How to put this, Nuret, they're |
| 1:30.1 | a devotion to how many children the weakers have and how the young women could have more children. |
| 1:37.2 | So they devote themselves to removing the ability of young women, of |
| 1:44.3 | born weaker from having children. Is that the way to say it? |
| 1:48.6 | That's precisely the way to say it. It's an accurate portrayal of what's happening to |
| 1:54.4 | weaker women. I decided to highlight the weaker women and children's struggle to survive in this |
| 2:02.5 | world because of the historical relevance to the Jewish people and the Roma's experience during |
| 2:10.5 | the Nazi era. When you look at the initial objective, unstated goal of the Chinese Communist Party, |
| 2:22.4 | they just wanted to destroy this nation. So it just bothers me so much when people still debate |
| 2:28.1 | whether or not this is a genocide. When a government purposefully, systematically creates an |
