We aim to create a virtual interactive museum in the future, featuring all things related to the Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples in East Turkistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our work has been featured in various news outlets and in several documentaries. We publish reports and books, e.g., <em>100 Camp Testimonies<\/em> and <em>Remolding the Uyghurs to Fit the Han-ethnocentric Mold<\/em>.
