In the Xinjiang region of China, a network of detention camps has been established, sparking widespread concern over human rights abuses. The camps, which are believed to hold over 1 million Uighur Muslims, have been the subject of numerous investigations and reports.

However, human rights groups and former detainees have reported widespread human rights abuses, including forced labor, torture, and forced sterilization.
