On October 5, according to the Washington Post, another Kazakh woman came forward to expose the inhuman treatment she had been subjected to in the re-education camp.
It dates back to December 2017, when Gulzira Mogyn, a 38-year-old Kazakh-Chinese woman, was placed under house arrest after her phone was found to have WhatsApp on her head.
While being examined at the clinic, Mogdyn found out she was 10 weeks pregnant. However, officials did not allow her to give birth to the child. She said doctors "forced my fetus" without anaesthetic. To this day, she still has complications.
"Two humans have lost in this tragedy - my baby and me."
"In this tragedy, two people have died - my children and me. 」
- Gulzira Mogdyn
In July 2019, Mogdyn acquired Kazakh citizenship, giving her the courage to expose these things. She asked China to respond to the demand: "to give financial compensation, or at least to apologize." 」
