The report, which was authored with the help of Stanford Law School\u2019s Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic noted that while Beijing\u2019s oppression of Turkic Muslims is \u201cnot a new phenomenon\u201d, it has reached \u201cunprecedented levels\u201d. As many as a million people have been imprisoned in 300 to 400 facilities, including \u201cpolitical education\u201d camps, pretrial detention centers and prisons. Meanwhile, children whose parents have been detained are sometimes placed in state institutions. Since 2017, when Beijing deepened its crackdown, detentions in Xinjiang accounted for 21 percent of all arrests in China, despite the region accounting for just 1.5 percent of the population, the report said. Arrests in the region increased by 306 percent in the last five years as compared to the first five years. Since 2017, the Chinese government has also \u201cused various pretexts to damage or destroy\u201d two-thirds of mosques in the region.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The report drew on information from government documents, human rights groups, the media, and scholars, and also provides recommendations for governments to put pressure on Beijing for the alleged abuses, including \u201cpursuing individual criminal and state responsibility for these crimes, targeted sanctions, and actions under other UN mechanisms, such as the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD)\u201d. The report also calls on companies to cut ties with Xinjiang, saying \u201cit is not possible at this stage for companies to import from Xinjiang without risking complicity in the pervasive use of forced labor\u201d. The report adds that \u201cevidence indicates that detainees have been sent to perform forced labor after they were released from Xinjiang\u2019s political education camps \u2026 Satellite images also show the recent emergence of new factories, connected to or near the camps, where inmates allegedly provide low-cost or unpaid labor\u201d.<\/span><\/p><p><br \/><b>By:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight:
