The United Nations has finally released the report, covering human rights atrocities in the city of Xinjiang, which China has been working tirelessly to keep from making its way to the surface. Government officials in Beijing called the report a 'Farce.'
The report addresses human rights abuses against Uygher Muslims and other ethnic minorities in the country. Investigators claim they found "credible evidence" of torture possibly amounting to "Crimes against Humanity," human rights groups have also found networks of Uyghur Muslims, which the Chinese state call "Re-Education Camps."

Government officials for the CCP have repeatedly claimed that the Uyghur Muslim Militants are waging "a violent campaign for an independent state." China remains accused of exaggerating the threat level in order to justify the repression of the Uyghur Muslims.
Data reported to BBC shows that officers in the camps are ordered to use weapons in the event of an attempt to escape. When an alarm goes off for the said offense, all surrounding roads are to be sealed off, buildings locked down, and the camps 'Strike Group' is then sent in to find the culprit. A warning shot is fired, and if the captive continues to escape the order is shoot to kill.
