Ex-detaine Mihrigul Tursun is a reported former Uyghur detainee from Xinjiang, China. After immigrating to the United States in 2018, Tursun said that she was taken into the custody of Chinese authorities several times, including being imprisoned at one of a network of political “re-education camps” for Uyghurs, subject to torture, and that one of her sons died while she was in the custody of Chinese authorities in 2015. Her story was widely reported in international media. In 2019 Hua Chunying of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China denied Tursun’s allegations and gave the Ministry’s own account of events.

An Uygur woman has described torture and abuse she said she experienced at an internment camp in China’s western Xinjiang region. Speaking at a US Congressional hearing on November 28, Mihrigul Tursun, 29, said she was detained three times since traveling back to China in 2015. She said her four-month-old son, who was separated from her, died without explanation during one period inside one of what China describes as “vocational training centres”. Tursun also said she was electrocuted while in the facility, and witnessed nine other women die during a three-month detention. China’s embassy in Washington has not responded to media requests for comment on Tursun’s statements.
