As Bitter Winter has previously reported, to hide the mass detention of Uyghurs, the Chinese authorities are transferring large numbers of detainees from the overcrowded prisons and transformation through education camps in Xinjiang to other provinces in China, such as Shaanxi, Gansu, Heilongjiang, and others.
According to the latest reports, at least 1,000 Uyghurs are being detained at a prison in Gansu Province’s Wuwei city. Sources who reside in the city inform that, in the fall of 2018, a street leading to the city’s prison was cordoned off entirely for two days, and all vehicles and pedestrians were prohibited from passing through.
