Xinjiang Victims Database
Our Aim
Since the spring of 2017, China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region has seen a drastic rise in the mass incarcerations of its ethnic minority citizens – most notably, the Uyghur, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Hui – with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, being locked up in de facto concentration camps, given severe prison terms, or kept in notoriously inhumane police custody. Outside of these forms of hard detention, many have had their documents confiscated and movement restricted, with considerable numbers assigned forced work/labor. Many more are simply missing or disappeared. Children with detained parents have also been placed in difficult circumstances, with some taken away to boarding schools / orphanages.
The goal of this database consists in documenting the aforementioned individuals, so as to both protect them now and hold the Chinese authorities accountable later, by creating the foundations for future legal action and reparations.
我们的目标
自2017年春天以来，中国新疆维吾尔自治区内少数民族公民——尤其是维吾尔族、哈萨克族、柯尔克孜族和回族——被大规模关押的事件急剧增加，数十万甚至数百万人被关进事实上的集中营、被判处严峻的刑期、或被关押在以缺乏人道著称的警方看守所。除了这些硬性拘禁形式以外，还有许多人的证件被没收、行动自由受到限制，相当多的人被派遣参加强制性的工作/劳动。更多的人处于失踪或失联状态。父母被关押家庭的儿童也被置于困境之中，一些儿童被带离家庭送入寄宿学校/孤儿院。
本资料库的目标是记录上述个体的情况，从而在当下保护他们，并为将来的法律行动和赔偿打下基础，以便日后追究中国当局的责任。
