Episode description
The Uyghur minority in the Xinjiang region of Western China are the subject of an intense crackdown by the state, with up to one million Uyghur people being held without charge in so-called "re-education" camps.

Producer Cheyne Anderson speaks to Buzzfeed News world correspondent Megha Rajagopalan, who won a 2018 Human Rights Press Award for her reporting on the crackdown.
