Video showing hundreds of shackled, blindfolded prisoners in China is ‘genuine’
Human rights groups say China is holding one million people, mostly ethnic Uighurs, at detention camps – a charge Beijing denies.
Online footage purporting to show hundreds of blindfolded and shackled prisoners in a mostly Muslim region of China is believed to be authentic, a European security source has told Sky News.
The detainees are thought to be from China’s minority Uighur Muslims, the source said on Friday.
Human rights organisations accuse China of holding one million people, mostly ethnic Uighurs, at sprawling detention camps in Xinjiang province – a charge Beijing strongly denies.
