nonfiction/memoir - current human rights violations in China. A Uyghur woman's very recent imprisonment (~2017-2019+) and eventual release from Xi Jinping's "re-education" camps for political prisoners and how the system is designed to slowly eradicate (through forced imprisonment, pervasive surveillance and intimidation/brainwashing, and forced sterilization) the Uyghurs that live in the Xinjiang region of China.
Detailed and organized account of Gulbahar's experiences and unjust/inhumane treatment, as well as what researchers have been able to dig up about the prison camps and farcical "justice system" that are increasingly being used to this day. She doesn't directly mention any rape, aside from the women taking turns keeping watch at night for unwanted visitors, but she does describe their being systematically humiliated and abused during a forcible cavity search. She also records her experiences with forced sterilization shots that the officials claim to be "vaccinations" (we don't know what was in the shots, but the women prisoners who received it stopped having menses shortly afterwards).

Rather than making me appreciate my position, the fates of my friends only saddened me all the more, as their possible futures -whether in a prison, a camp, or in Xinjiang - seemed equally dark. (Chapter 17: pp. 159-180 (Seven Stories Press, 2021))

I fell in line with the passengers quietly hurrying on their way. I felt like running.
She will, without a second thought, forgive her friends for doubting her, for she knows that, in its zeal for repression, China spares not a single Uyghur. (Afterword)
