        You seem to have posted the wrong link, that goes to the western NGO, HRW, not the Xinjiang High people’s protectorate

        I would also like a source on:

        most estimates agree that the number of uyghur detainees in total is closer to 2 million.

                I read it, and it does not contain your claim. I can only conclude now that you know that and are deliberately being dishonest and hoping people won’t check if your sources actually say what you claim they say.

                At any rate, until you can actually provide a source, any honest person can only conclude that your claim is baseless.

                you want the 2 million estimates?

                That article claims estimates of “800,000 to 2,000,000”, which actually contradicts your claim of “most estimates agree that the number of uyghur detainees in total is closer to 2 million.”

                Could you please explain why you are still misrepresenting your sources?

                Also, that article sources its claim to the US government, but the paper is links just drops the claim again with no source or justification. Where is this 2,000,000 number actually coming from?
