Leaked China documents reveal ‘no mercy’ in Xinjiang: NYT 1 SHARES Share it! The internment camps expanded rapidly following the appointment in 2016 of a new party chief in Xinjiang, Chen Quanguo. The trove of leaked documents included a guide to answering questions from students who had returned home to Xinjiang to find their families missing or detained in camps. China’s foreign ministry and the Xinjiang regional government did not immediately respond to AFP’s requests for comment. But rights groups and foreign media, including AFP, have reported that official documents and satellite images show the facilities are equipped and run like prisons.
