"Any woman or man under age 35 was raped and sexually 
abused," Ruqiye Perhat, a student arrested in Xinjiang in 
2009 for four years, told the Post. More recent survivors 
say that the camps had made rape more systematic than in 
regular prisons; guards would "put bags on the heads of the 
ones they wanted" and take the women out of their cells to 
be raped all night, returned for their fellow prisoners to 
see in the morning. One human rights activist told the Post 
they had documented at least seven cases of women being 
forced against their will to receive intrauterine devices as 
part of their entering the concentration camp, presumably to 
keep them from getting pregnant through rape. Those who were arrested while pregnant - often for "crimes" like downloading the messaging application WhatsApp - were forced into harrowing abortions. Gulzira Mogdyn told the Post that Chinese regime officials slashed her open without anesthesia and "cut my fetus out."  |
