No Escape: A Uyghur's Story of Oppression, Genocide, and China's Digital Dictatorship by Nury Turkel
5.0
A gripping, eye opening history/memoir written by Nury Turkel, a human rights attorney and Uyghur activist. He writes about the plight of the Uyghurs, (prounouced wee-guhr) an ethnic minority group who mainly live in the Xinjiang region of the People’s Republic of China.
Turkel spares no details as he writes about the current of the Uyghur crisis, a crisis that many in the West are not aware of. In fact most of what he writes seems unbelievable but sadly is all true. Over a million Uyghurs (some reports report 2 million) have been forced into Chinese re-education camps for political and cultural indoctrination. Camps where crimes against humanity occur. This is an important read about the Uyghurs who are being systematically erased.
