在新疆，年輕就是你被送進集中營的理由。
一份洩漏的文件，列出 2000 名在 2016-2018 被關押在新疆再教育營的維吾爾人名單，並有詳細個人資料，以及被關押的原因。
資料顯示，中國政府會用自動收集，與手動輸入，記錄跟這個人有關的任何訊息，個人資料以外，所有通聯記錄、通話時間、車子的顏色、回家會從前門還是後門、手機內的軟體等。
而被標示並關押的人，有的只寫上「基本上不可信」、「1980 年後出生」，所謂的基本上不可信，有的只是房租沒繳就進集中營，有的則是有超過一個老婆的維族人。
中國一下子說，沒有這種集中營，但最近又說，這些集中關押，是為了對抗新疆的極端主義與恐怖行動。
「The IJOP is a massive database combining personal data scooped from automated online monitoring and information manually entered into a bespoke app by officials.
It includes information ranging from people’s physical characteristics to the colour of their car and their personal preference of using the front or back door to enter their house, as well as software they use online and their regular contacts.
Behaviour listed as a reason for detention includes being “generally untrustworthy” and being “born after the 1980s”. One man appears to have been detained for not paying rent on his land, and others for practising polygamy.
Beijing initially denied the existence of the camps, but more recently has claimed they are a vital part of the fight against extremism and terrorism.」
