Yuting’s Reviews > Waiting to Be Arrested at Night: A Uyghur Poet's Memoir of China's Genocide > Status Update

I first heard about the camps satellite photos on facebook in 2017. In 2019 we had a bachelor student intern whose family lived in Xinjiang. Once at lunch some Dutch colleagues asked her about the camps. I don’t remember her answer, but I remember she was vague about it and thought it was just boring brainwashing study camp, nothing too bad. She was Han, her family was not the target.

What intrigued me to pick up this book is that I was surprised to find several Xinjiang restaurants run by Uyghurs who spoke only a little mandarin in the Netherlands, and in Coimbra, Portugal.
