there's over a million people in China
being wiped out killed food
concentration camps and brainwashed for
simple fact of them being Muslim it did
their children be taken away from them
it's crazy and if you haven't heard of this that's
what we're here for the Uighur people in
China are literally going through a
genocide right now something so crazy
you won't believe it
and what's even crazier is that  people don't seem to
know about it or don't seem to care
we're here today Leicester Square to
find out if people know about it and
best believe we'll make sure by the end
of today they will know what's going on
do people not know or do they just not
care our aim was to find out how many
people have heard of the Chinese
genocide we approached and asked the
general public and most had the same
answer
Women:yes, ehh...no I don't know about
after hours of Investigation we were
thrilled to finally find someone who
knew about the  genocide in China
KM3: Have you guys heard of the Uighur people in China?
oh yeah yeah!  The Muslim
minority  yeah
KM3: What do you know about them?
Public: That they are being persecuted right now they have like
Muslim conversion camps in in that
region yeah
KM3:Yeah he knows quite a lot
Voice over: Our main aim here was to
educate so for everyone who didn't know
we had a mini clip ready to show them
everything that's going on and record
their reactions
KM3:okay that's a lot of
people said the same thing so I'm gonna
show you a little video is basically
explain to you what's happening in China
right now
right now China's detained over a
million Uighur and other Turkey Muslims
into concentration camps forced to
denounce Islam adopt atheism and pledge
allegiance to the Chinese state they
would spend hours on end
chanting in their crowded cells there is
no such thing as religion or all hail
the Chinese state or all hail Chinese
President Xi Jinping and if the
detainees disobey or if there's any type
of resistance there is torture being
used there are at least 800,000 and
possibly up to a couple of million folks
in these yeah detention facilities yells
are being pulled out teeth are being
pulled out there using snakes to
interrogate people are being beaten
until they're dead they're being
sterilized a method used in genocide
their forced sit on what's called a
tiger chair where they're clamped down
on this chair for hours on end
oftentimes in solitary confinement
people are being sent to these camps for
random reasons any type of indication
that you are practicing religion that is
enough for you to be sent to the camps
and there's not a single Uighur   who doesn't
have at least one family member in these
camps or some form of detention or
prison the worst part is when someone
dies their bodies are not taken to their
families but rather their bodies are
cremated and that's another way for
trying to hide the evidence of bodies
coming out of these camps and it doesn't
give us a clear idea of how many people
are dying all this stuff is happening in
secret
the children of these detainees have
been sent to state-run orphanages and
boarding schools where they are taught
to hate their own religion identity and
are forced to speak Chinese, are subject
to abuse and torture the parents don't
know where their kids are
KM3: So how did that vide o make you feel
Public: Just angry to be honest
Public: Sad, a bit sad I think
that's awful like you shouldn't treat
people like that
Sad,
its horrible what happened
KM3: so your thoughts on the video how did it
make you feel what do you think about
what's  going on
Public: well yeah I mean it's
obviously really bad what's going on the
idea that like it's effectively genocide
what the Chinese government are trying
to do is trying to control like religion
basically because they doesn't fit their
agenda KM3:yeah you guys obviously know
about it why do you think there's not  a big
uproar about why do you think there's
not much be done about it Public:I mean it's
just the standard thing where I mean it
doesn't directly concern anyone here so
that no one's gonna be that motivated to
do anything and then it being in China
there's only so much yeah yeah there's
only so much we can do all over here
KM3: Do you 
think's because people don't care or because
people don't know
Public: a bit of  both, like I think
like it's slowly being spreads like just
like a lot of videos getting shared on
social media so I think people are
slowly gaining awareness but then that
doesn't mean they're gonna do anything
about it still sure
most people here
just concerned with what affects them
yeah yeah never really gets to spread
KM3:What do you think people like me and you  can
do about this because obviously its
Public: I don't know man
KM3:You don't know? It's a sticky one still
Public:a sticky one yeah it's a sticky
I think just spreading awareness so
once you get some
traction and stuff like that's when you
can start
KM3: yeah that's definitely the main one spreading awareness
it affects millions
of innocent civilians that are  being
persecuted being put in concentration
camps then orgens are being harvested
yet a lot of people don't know about
this now why do you think people don't
know about this do you think it's
because people don't care or is it because
they don't know Public: because they don't know
about it like I think the media is
trying to hide it and the government is
trying to hide it and it's very bad
thing that they try to hide it
KM3:Now what do you think we can do we could
I don't know put it on the social media
or try to speak about it and tell more
people about it KM3: see now that you know 
whats going on are you surprised that
people don't know about this
yes yes yes
it's like a shame
it really is
um why do you think you
didn't know about this probably because
the news are not talking much about it
like they should
and I should talk more about stuff like
that yeah that's exactly what what sadly
so we're trying to actually cause
awareness and a lot of people said the
same thing
and now why do you think
people don't know about this because
it's what China is doing is genocide and
it's killing ethnic minorities millions
and Muslims why do you think you don't
know about this I think Chinese I
control the media so we can't see what's
happening there it's different to when
here is happening something you know it
all around the world to social media and
general media KM3:what do you think we can
do as and what do you think we can do we
should talk about and we should share
videos like this and on social media
Voice over: It was clear to see that as soon as people
heard of us issue they were upset in
shocked it's not the lack of care but a
lack of knowledge that's preventing a
change people just don't know if we all
collectively work towards the goal of
educating everyone and spreading
awareness we can all make a change we stand in
solidarity with the Uighur's we stand in
solidarity with Uighur's we stand in
solidarity with Uighur's we stand in
solidarity with the Uighur's and in
solidarity with the Uighur's We
solidarity with the biggest
