actually happened in east turkestan. i have some connections, sources, in east turkestan, and also in china's central government. i get many pieces of information, which is much worse than what was reported in the western media. for example, even today, the western media says more thani million uyghurs have been detained in camps, but my source in the top—level chinese government department tells me about 9 million uyghurs have been detained since 2014. this number may surprise many people. the uygher population is not 11 or 12 million as the chinese government reports so far, it is about 20 million. so from the 20 million uygher people, about 9 million have been detained in, since 2014, and about1 million people have died. so we have even more difficulties about that, for example, among those 9 million uyghurs, 2.1 million have been transferred to other parts of china and disbursed and disappeared. 1.8 million transferred from concentration camps to prisons and jails, and the rest, some of them have transferred to for

in our interview, dr sidick refers to the xinjiang region as �*east turkestan�*. we are very happy about this bill. it means that part of the uyghurs who are currently being employed as forced labour workers in china's factories in east turkestan will be released, so we are very happy about that. so you do think it will have an immediate impact for thousands of people currently in forced labour in xinjiang? actually, it is much more than that. my information tells us that more than 3 million uyghurs currently are working as forced labour workers in east turkestan. the uyghur project foundation, recently we made a list on the companies that use uyghurs as forced labour workers in east turkestan. the list contains 14,000 factories. there's detailed information in chinese and english. it is available on our website. that means if each company employs 100 uyghurs as slave labourers, 1.4 million uyghurs are currently working in china's factories. actual number is much more than this and the people who are working there have no life, like in a hell. the reason is the fa

turkestan, the numbers were huge, more 14,000 factories in east turkestan alone. so if one factory employs about 100 uyghurs, this means that currently they have 1.4 million uyghurs being employed as forced labour workers in china's factories in east turkestan. so the real situation is much worse, people should think about what happened in the holocaust, before that, people went to germany to investigate, they didn't believe a lot of news, information, that people could get. but when i actually checked it, the real situation was much worse than what they had heard. irate was much worse than what they had heard-— had heard. we have run out of time, unfortunately. - had heard. we have run out of time, unfortunately. we - had heard. we have run out of time, unfortunately. we will. time, unfortunately. we will have to leave it there, but thank you very much for being with us. appreciate it. the drama surrounding the british prime minister borisjohnson has added fresh scenes and new characters. after the claims about rule—breaking christmas parties, there are now q
