520 "A powerful memoir by Nury Turkel lays bare China's
repression of the Uyghur people. Turkel is cofounder and
board chair of the Uyghur Human Rights Project and a
commissioner for the United States Commission on
International Religious Freedom. In recent years, the
People's Republic of China has rounded up as many as three
million Uyghurs, placing them in what it calls
"reeducation camps," facilities most of the world
identifies as concentration camps. There, the genocide and
enslavement of the Uyghur people are ongoing. The tactics
employed are reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution, but
the results are far more insidious because of the
technology used, most of it stolen from Silicon Valley. In
the words of Turkel, "Communist China has created an open
prison-like environment through the most intrusive
surveillance state that the world has ever known while
committing genocide and enslaving the Uyghurs on the
world's watch." As a human rights attorney and Uyghur
activist who now serves on the US Commission on
International Religious Freedom, Turkel tells his personal
story to help explain the urgency and scope of the Uyghur
crisis. Born in 1970 in a reeducation camp, he was lucky
enough to survive and eventually make his way to the US,
where he became the first Uyghur to receive an American
law degree. Since then, he has worked as a prominent
lawyer, activist, and spokesperson for his people and
advocated strong policy responses from the liberal
democracies to address atrocity crimes against his people.
The Uyghur crisis is turning into the greatest human
rights crisis of the twenty-first century, a systematic
cleansing of an entire race of people in the millions.
Part Anne Frank and Hannah Arendt, No Escape shares
Turkel's personal story while drawing back the curtain on
the historically unprecedented and increasing threat from
China."--Publisher's website.
