Testimony
Ziyawudun claims that she was taken to one of the internment camps in April 2017 and was released after a few months, but she was detained in March 2018 for the second time. She was released from the camp in December 2018 and was allowed to go to Kazakhstan to unite with her husband in September 2019. She then gave interviews to the press describing the emotional trauma of the re-education center, even while fearing Chinese retaliation. She also told the Associated Press that she was physically abused during interrogation, kicked in the stomach repeatedly and forcibly sterilized. She said that she is now unable to have children.
