The new video, just as the one published on November 12, comes from the Yining area in Xinjiang. There is more than one camp in Yining, In August, our reporter penetrated the transformation through education camp in Yingye\u2019er township<\/a>, and photographed its interior constructions.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Within the transformation through education camp, a complex of orange buildings lined up side by side holds dormitories for the camp\u2019s \u201cstudents.\u201d Upon closer inspection of the exteriors of the buildings in the complex, one can see that each building is 4 stories tall. The windows of each floor are fitted with guard railing as well as an additional layer of guard netting. The exit areas of each building are fitted with 3 surveillance cameras apiece, which comprehensively monitor the areas from the left, right, and center. A slogan is written on the external walls of the buildings, which reads: \u201cHeartfelt thanks for the cordial care of the Party\u2019s central committee, with comrade Xi Jinping<\/a> as the core.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Internal<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inside the buildings, the interior constructions are just like the cells of a prison or detention center. Each room has double iron doors, and the outermost iron door also has guard railing and a keypad lock. Each \u2018dorm room\u2019 has its own washroom, and is fitted with a surveillance camera. According to a leak from an inside source, up to 15 people can live in each dorm. Surveying has also revealed that each floor holds 28 dorm rooms and 3 classrooms. Various slogans are written on the walls outside of the classrooms, such as: \u201cMake a habit of studying Mandarin\u201d (intended for Uyghurs<\/a>, who normally do not speak Mandarin but only their own Uyghur language) and \u201cFollow the guidance of Xi Jinping\u2019s thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, and untiringly strive to achieve the dream of the people of China to bring about a great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.\u201d In the classrooms, railing and separation nets separate the teachers\u2019 lecterns from the students\u2019 desks.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Surveillance<\/span><\/p>\n

Surveillance cameras are installed inside and outside the room.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Besides, this floor of the building also contains a standalone surveillance room. From the large-screen monitor, it is apparent that 360-degree surveillance cameras are installed in every corner of the building\u2014including not only classrooms, dormitories and corridors, but even washrooms. Every move by the detainees is monitored, 24 hours a day. They are totally deprived of freedom and privacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The entirety of each building is stringently guarded. In addition to surveillance cameras being installed in every corner, the entrance to the building has been fitted with an iron gate. In the corridors, the windows of each room have also been sealed with tight iron bars and wire netting. Even the windows in the room that may be used as the \u201cstudent\u201d cafeteria are no exception. It is nearly impossible for the inmates to escape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our reporter also noticed that there are several areas surrounded by chain-link fencing on empty land in front of certain buildings, next to which large quantities of wire netting that hasn\u2019t yet been used is stacked in piles. On one side of the fencing the words \u201cemergency asylum\u201d are written. According to an inside source from the public security system, this \u201cemergency asylum\u201d is most likely an outside walking area for detainees. An outside walking area is a place in the courtyard of a prison where the prison allows its inmates to go to get some exercise at set times.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Three<\/span><\/p>\n

Three surveillance cameras are installed at the exit areas of each building, and all the windows are sealed off with barbed wire and iron bars.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Yingye\u2019er transformation through education camp has been advertised to the outside world as a vocational training school \u2014 though there is no difference between its inner constructions and those of a prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

In August of this year, when we collected this footage, the Yingye\u2019er transformation through education camp was still under construction, but in September, an employee revealed to our reporter that several thousand individuals were already being held there. When the reporter followed up to ask what kind of people were being held, the employee realized something was <\/span>wrong,<\/span> and said: \u201cThat is a secret; I can\u2019t tell you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But now the truth is emerging. Bitter Winter videos, that our reporters shoot by exposing themselves to very serious risks, prove that the transformation through education camps <\/span>are jails<\/span>, not vocational center or schools.<\/span><\/p>\n
