 "Re-education camps" is a title given to the concentration camps interning Muslims operated by the People's Republic of China Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Regional government and Communist Party committee since 2014, under General Secretary Xi Jinping’s administration.They have significantly intensified since a hardline party secretary, Chen Quanguo, took charge of the region in August 2016.These camps are reportedly operated secretly and outside of the legal system; many Uyghurs have been interned without any trial or charges being levied.
