A report has found China is attempting to control the Uighur population, with some women being forced into sterilisation procedures.
Chinese authorities are carrying out forced sterilisations of Uighur and other ethnic minority women in an apparent campaign to curb the population, a study said on Tuesday, triggering swift international condemnation.
Mr Zenz's data-driven work -which uses public documents found by scouring China's internet - on the camps has previously been cited by experts on a UN panel investigating the facilities. Former camp detainees said they were given injections that stopped their periods, or caused unusual bleeding consistent with the effects of birth control drugs.
Uighur activists said China was using the internment camps to conduct a massive brainwashing campaign aimed at eradicating their distinct culture and Islamic identity. The US State Department called the campaign"reminiscent of the abuses against members of ethnic and religious minority groups throughout the 20th century."
IPAC was formed in June with a stated mission of standing up against"challenges posed by the present conduct and future ambitions of the People's Republic of China."
