The Economist did some great reporting on this a few months back, and it's good to see that the issue is starting to get even more notice across the world.

The Chinese government are basically building a massive surveillance-state in the regions the Uyghur people live, complete with ever-present police, informant networks and possibly over a million people being forced into "re-education camps" (where it's reported they're being subjected to everything from beatings to other forms of abuse). Makes for some pretty grim reading.
