大象传媒

The 大象传媒 has new evidence that China is building a vast network of internment camps for its Muslim population in the western region of Xinjiang. Experts say one facility we鈥檝e identified could be one of the biggest detention centres in the world.

It's thought as many as a million Muslims from the Uighur community are being held without trial in Xinjiang. China denies the claims, saying it has a programme of 鈥渧ocational training centres鈥� - needed to combat the threat of terrorism.

Accounts of life for individuals inside these places tell of abuse and humiliation. Our China correspondent John Sudworth reports from a part of the country where journalists are often prevented from filming.
