	Description:		As many as one million Uyghur people and other Muslim minorities in China have reportedly been detained indefinitely in "re-education camps" since 2017. Why is it happening and what are the political ramifications for us all? This Sydney Ideas discussion explores these issues from a range of perspectives. Erkin Sidick, a Uyghur scientist, offers his analysis of the crackdown in Xinjiang. David Atwill, a historian of Islam in China, discuss the wider questions of the Chinese state’s approach to Islam, and Ruth Gamble offers a comparative perspective on these issues drawing on her knowledge of Tibet.
