Tursunay Ziawudun, who fled Xinjiang after her release and is now in the US, said
women were removed from the cells every night and raped by one or more masked Chinese men. She said she was tortured and later gang-raped on three occasions, each time by two or three men.
Ziawudun was first interviewed (video) at the office of the Atajurt Kazakh Human Rightsorganization in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on October 15, 2019. An English summary of the interview is here. There are no allegations of rape or overly harsh treatment. The biggest problem seem to have been urinary disorders which some people developed because the camp buildings were new and the concrete had not yet completely dried out.

Why Do These Uighur Witnesses Stories Constantly Change?
Two months ago we documented astonishing changes over time in the testimony of a Uyhgur woman who had claimed to have been incarcerated in China:
Over the years [Sayragul] Sautbay has given several interviews. The details of her story continued to change in anti-Chinese directions.
In early interviews Sautbay claimed to have been an instructor working in a re-education camp. In later interviews she claims to have been a detainee.
In more recent interviews she claims that she had seen torture and violence in the camps. In earlier interviews she had refuted such claims.
