'Deeply disturbing' footage surfaces of blindfolded Uyghurs at train station in Xinjiang
Australia's Foreign Minister and members of the Uyghur community have condemned a "deeply disturbing" and "horrifying" video of Uyghurs in China's Xinjiang that has surfaced online.
The footage purportedly shows dozens of Uyghur men their heads freshly shaved blindfolded with their hands tied behind their backs during a mass transfer at a train station in the north-west region of China.
The video, posted to YouTube last week anonymously by War on Fear, has been verified as authentic by Nathan Ruser, a satellite analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.
Mr Ruser said by zooming in on Google Earth details like the shadow cast from a pole or the planting of bushes, he could determine the footage was shot in either April or August in 2018 at a train station west of the city of Korla.
