Since 2014, millions of Uyghurs, Kazakhs and other minorities have been locked up in China and subjected to torture and forced labour. Some of those freed talk about trying to rebuild their lives in neighbouring Kazakhstan.

A Chinese course book
Saliman Yesbolat used to live in Ghulja county, Xinjiang. After she refused to denounce her Uyghur neighbours to the police, she was forced to perform the raising of the Chinese flag every Monday at dawn, and to attend Chinese lessons twice a week in the basement of her building, where she would learn the Chinese language, patriotic songs and Xi Jinping's discourses by heart. This is her exercise book.
Forced to leave China
At 65, Imam Madi Toleukhan is one of the oldest refugees in Bekbolat, Kazakhstan, where more than 100 families took shelter after fleeing the Chinese regime. 'We were richer back there. I owned a herd, but I was too afraid for my sons, my grandchildren and their future: I came to Kazakhstan to save them. I didn't want them to be the fourth generation to suffer at the hands of the Chinese government, he says.
Remembering Uyghur culture in exile
Two members of the Dolan Ensemble, a Uyghur dance troupe based in Kazakhstan, get ready before performing a traditional dance to mark 40 days since the birth of a baby. Founded in 2016, the troupe performs at festivals or private events that bring together members of the Uyghur community, some of whom have had to leave Xinjiang.
Torture, infertility and damaged genitalia
In Kazakhstan, medical care for camp survivors is poor. Most victims can barely afford to see a family doctor. Anara*, an endocrinologist in a Kazakh hospital who has examined about 50 camp survivors since 2020, noticed recurrent infertility problems among her patients. 'Men or women, many have damaged genitalia. Some told me they'd been given drugs, others said they'd been raped. As they didn't come to us right after being released from the camps, it's impossible to know what kind of drugs they were administered in Xinjiang, she says. *Not her real name
The tiger chair
Ospan* spent a year in a re-education camp. He says his mind and body were crushed by the tortures he experienced in a tiger chair - a steel apparatus with handcuffs that restrains the body in painful positions. Aged about 50, this former shepherd, who took refuge with his family in eastern Kazakhstan, is no longer fit for work. Physically wrecked and prone to headaches, he mourns the loss of his memory above all. 'I used to know a lot of songs and I loved to sing; I also knew poems by heart ... Now, I can't sing any more, I can't remember the words,' he says. *Not his real name
Broken families and imprisonment
Aikamal Rashibek saw the dreadful efficiency of the CCP's brainwashing on her husband, Kerimbek Bakytali, after he was released from a Chinese psychiatric hospital. 'He disappeared for a year. When he came back, he didn't tell me anything about what happened to him. He was highly unhinged, always nervous, and got angry whenever I asked questions. He couldn't stop repeating that he hated Kazakhstan now, and that he wanted to go back to China with the kids to give them a Chinese education, says Aikamal. They are now separated.
Missing loved ones in China’s camps
In March 2017, Miyessar Muhedamu, left, a Uyghur woman, was arrested in Xinjiang under the pretext that she had studied Arabic in Egypt when she was young. Her husband, Sadirzhan Ayupov, right, and her three children have not seen her since. Now that Miyessar has left the camp, Sadirzhan receives a short call every few months. He suspects she might have suffered abuse, yet Miyessar can’t speak freely. ‘She told me she’d been in a re-education camp, and that she’d been released. When I ask her what she went through there, she doesn’t answer,’ says Sadirzhan.
Life after fleeing China
Sent to a re-education camp in 2018 at the age of 64, Yerke* saw her health quickly deteriorate. Locked a tiny cell with dozens of other women, she almost lost the use of her legs due to the cold floor she had to lie on. She was in the camp when she learned of her son’s death: pressured by the Chinese authorities, he took his own life. After her release, Yerke fled to Kazakhstan with some family members, but two of her children remain in China. *Not her real name
Forced labour and confessions
Dina Nurdybay, 32, was arrested in Nilka county, Xinjiang, because her traditional Kazakh clothing business made her a separatist, according to the Chinese authorities. She spent 11 months between two re-education camps, a CCP school and a forced-labour sewing factory. After proving she was capable of being ‘well behaved’ and having performed a self-criticism in front of the whole village, Dina was released and managed to escape when she obtained a week’s leave to visit her ailing father in Kazakhstan.
Cultural genocide
China’s repression of ethnic minorities also involves cultural genocide. As Muslim rituals are forbidden in Xinjiang, people are trying to keep their traditions alive across borders. Here, a family is praying together in Kazakhstan after the death of one of their relatives in Xinjiang. They could not repatriate the body because the border between the two countries was closed at the time.

И это телевидение от лидера (Казахтелеком) цифровых технологий в Казахстане. #Казахстан #Qazaqstan #Kazakhstan #телевидение #казахтелеком https://www.instagram.com/p/B99gJ11g2-l/?igshid=op82mpj665cy
Печально конечно, но производитель чая "Пиала" нагло врет. Как можно увидеть на фото, ягод в чае ненаблюдается, а вот нечто белое, наверняка химического происхождения, налицо. #Казахстан #Qazaqstan #Kazakhstan #чайПиала https://www.instagram.com/p/B6pO96Jg6Vq/?igshid=7puw1msfxw4g
Ну о каком 5G может идти речь в Казахстане ? #Казахстан #Qazaqstan #Kazakhstan #Tele2 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4hDxL7gqnM/?igshid=c0utt4dlfsqa
Прилюбопытнейшее уведомление выдал телефон припопытке совершить звонок по вацапу. А подключен он к Tele2, что можно расценивать как Казахтелеком. #Qazaqstan #Kazakhstan #Казахстан #Tele2 #Казахтелеком https://www.instagram.com/p/B3DrgKQAKEE/?igshid=5jic98cpxs9z
Дык. Казахстан это целостное государство или каждый город, аул сами себе хозяева ? #Kazakhstan #Qazaqstan #Казахстан #деньпожилогочеловека https://www.instagram.com/p/B2rS0o-guFr/?igshid=14q7vkyoj191r
Никто, ничего другого от данной компании конечно и неожидал, но насколько же позорно и смешно вглядит все это под правлением Казахтелекома. Да еще и в цифровом Казахстане. 😂😂😂😂 #Казахстан #Qazaqstan #Kazakhstan #Tele2 #Казахтелеком https://www.instagram.com/p/B0-aq_bAgrk/?igshid=1wwmv84vbawsm
И как верить таким производителям ? #Казахстан #Алматы #Qazaqstan #Kazakhstan #Almaty #KonoExpress https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WGjqbA0M6/?igshid=jnllek6kudr
С такой оперативностью, и вообще появлением в сети, "краснознаменный Казахтелеком" уронит планку качества, сервиса и услуг любой компании. Ни для кого не секрет что от компании Tele 2 в Казахстане осталась только так называемая этикетка (бренд). Трудно быть лидером на рынке, особенно когда конкурировать не с кем. #Казахстан #Qazaqstan #Kazakhstan #Tele2 #Казахтелеком https://www.instagram.com/p/BzUSObUA8me/?igshid=1skv8h5h7vu3o
