Xinjiang Victims Database
Updated on an ongoing basis, The Xinjiang Victims Database is a database which attempts to record all currently known individuals who are detained in Xinjiang internment camps in China, had their documents confiscated and movement restricted, or been subject to forced labour. Many of the profiles also contain personal testimony from the family and friends of detainees.
Xinjiang's Architecture of Repression
This chart maps the key bureaucratic offices involved in designing, coordinating and implementing the Chinese Communist Party’s policies in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in western China.
Xinjiang Detention and Cultural Sites Interactive Map
ASPI researchers have located, mapped and analysed over 380 suspected detention facilities in Xinjiang that have been built or expanded since 2017, making it the most comprehensive dataset on Xinjiang’s detention system in the world. The project has also located and analysed hundreds of mosques and other important Uyghur and Islamic cultural sites in Xinjiang and assessed how many have been demolished or damaged since 2017. Both datasets are viewable on this interactive map.
Coordinates of Concentration Camps, Prisons and Labour Camps
This dataset, available to view on Google Earth, identifies a number of suspected concentration camps, prisons, and labor camps in East Turkistan (what China calls the “Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region”).
