Personal Testimony

Personal testimony about the ongoing atrocities in the Uyghur region is an important source of evidentiary material. Our team was in Istanbul and Almaty in 2018 when first-hand witnesses began to speak publicly about their experiences in the camps. A number of media outlets have covered their stories. Several organizations that are collecting testimony in these documentation projects include:

Uyghur Transitional Justice Database

Xinjiang Victims Database

Xinjiang Documentation Project
