Tens of thousands of Affordable Housing units so families could have a decent place to live.

Theyre called education and Training Centers but newly revealed classified documents from 2015, obtained by the International Consortium of National Journalists and shared with nbc news describe conditions that more closely resemble prison. Weve seen Chinas Muslim reeducation camps the way the chinese wanted us to see them, on a tightly controlled tour earlier this year and weve seen glimpses from leaked videos like this one. China says the camps stop muslim huigyers from becoming extremists and offer job training. Now, in the Chinese Governments own words, elite ninepage memo reads like a howto memo, to prevent escape, 24 7 video surveillance, watch towers and doublelocked doors. The headline is were doing something really nasty to a lot of people and its secret. Reporter a german researcher who is considered an authority on chinese detention of ethnic minorities. Did someone take a huge risk in leaking these documents . People have been sentenced to death for much less. Reporter estimates up to 1. 8 million huigyers and muslim minorities have been sent to the camps since 2017. That is a stunning number of people, 1. 8 Million People in camps. Its probably the largest internment of an ethnic and religious minority since the holocaust. The bull continue shows how easy it is to be singled out by the Chinese Government for education or training, using a certain app or communicating with people overseas can draw suspicion.

You dont literally know where she is . No, i dont. I dont even know if shes alive or not. When the Chinese Government says these are vocational camps, theyre helping train people for new jobs, what do you say to that . That is a complete lie. Many people in the camps are university professors, writers, poets. Its a story they dont want to get out. U. S. Assistant secretary of state for east asia and the pacific. The Chinese Government views this as a form of terrorism and theyve said things like, well, the u. S. Had a war on terror. Thats what were doing here. You cant lock up a whole group of people and somehow identify them as terrorists in advance. A terror event on your own people to prevent terrorism, that doesnt make sense. If you could talk to your sister, what would you say to her now . Im sorry. She is there because of me, but i want to tell her to stay strong. Stay strong and believe that she will be free, hopefully some day soon.

Kate, its a wild west of medicine. Stem cell clinics targeting vulnerable patients with misleading ads that claim to treat everything from joint pain to diseases that have no cure. Some are using unregulated stem krel treatment that may be illegal and in some cases even harmful. They said there was no chance of anything going wrong because it was coming from my own body. Reporter 79yearold doris tyler tried stem cells after reading a promotional back by the founders of cell Surgical Network, claiming it could treat macular degeneration, an eye condition with no cure. Doris was referred to an achlt clinic in georgia where doctors took stem cells from fat in her stomach and injected them in her eyes. Three months later, she was blind.
