On Wednesday, Human Rights Watch published details of a dataset showing the reasons why approximately 2,000 people were detained in Aksu prefecture, Xinjiang, between mid-2016 and late 2018.
Justifications given by the Chinese officials on this list to detain the Uighurs included 'switching off their phone repeatedly,' 'generally acting suspiciously,' being 'born after the 1980s,' and etc., leaked documents show.
The list only comprises some names among the millions of Uighurs who have been detained in prison-like camps since 2016.
China calls these camps 're-education centers,' and has continued building and expanding those facilities.
Xinjiang officials have also collected mass data of the Uighurs, including security and facial-recognition footage, license plate numbers, personal internet history, location, and other personal details.
