Beijing (China): Several Uyghur camps in Xinjiang, China, have been converted into formal prisons. The prisoners have been given long prison sentences. US-based magazine Foreign Affairs told. According to Foreign Affairs, many detainees have been transferred from camps to factories in Xinjiang or other parts of the country.

The Communist Party of China (CCP) has banned the use of the Uyghur language. Also Islamic practices have been banned. Mosques, temples and cemeteries have been destroyed. According to foreign affairs experts, the infrastructure of control, intrusive policing, military patrols and checkpoints that made southern Xinjiang look like a war zone a few years ago is now less visible.

He said that any Uygar passport holder has to present his documents at any customs post in China on demand by the provincial authorities.
