America Must Face China’s Continuing Medical Atrocity

Samal escaped China to her native Kazakhstan in 2018. It was there that she, amid bouts of sobbing, described night-shifts at a Xinjiang province detention center, removing intestines from corpses. Many bodies were still warm. Many bore the marks of torture. Samal worked assisting her friend, a Uyghur veterinarian, in a fortified compound of three medical clinics, four floors down from a massive detention center. In assembly line fashion, they would prep several corpses a night and send them on for further “cleaning” by a team of eleven Mandarin-speaking doctors.
