Uighurs: Nowhere To Call Home



101 East follows Chinese Uighurs as they flee what they call repression and detainment in their homeland.


"The first thing they asked me was to take off my clothes… They put me in the cell with the drug addicts and with the killers and they beat me."

Abduweli Ayup, a Uighur, alleges he was raped and tortured while in detention in China for 15 months.

His is one of a growing number of stories recounted by Uighurs fleeing their homeland, as China faces increasing criticism of its treatment of the country's Muslim population.
