No Escape: A Uyghur’’s Story of Oppression, Genocide, and China’’s Digital Dictatorship

 
這部重量級的回憶錄，來自擔任維吾爾人權項目(UHRP)共同創辦人與主席、美國國際宗教自由委員會委員的努里．特克爾，他長年為維吾爾人的權利奔走，竭力讓再教育營的真相為世人所知。
 
維吾爾人面臨的危機，正在成為21世紀最大的人權危機。近年，約有三百萬維吾爾人被中國政府關押至再教育營，在那裡，種族清洗與奴役持續發生，實施的手段令人聯想到文化大革命，然而這些惡行造成的影響，卻由於使用的科技方法，而隱密不顯。
 
特克爾在本書中訴說自己的故事，從他在再教育營中的誕生，到前往美國，成為首位在美國取得法律學位的維吾爾人，期望透過自身經歷，讓世人了解這一議題的急迫性。(文/博客來編譯)

*Shortlisted for the Moore Prize on Human Rights Literature*

A powerful memoir by Nury Turkel that lays bare China’s repression of the Uyghur people. Turkel is cofounder and board chair of the Uyghur Human Rights Project and a commissioner for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom.

In recent years, the People’s Republic of China has rounded up as many as three million Uyghurs, placing them in what it calls ＂reeducation camps,＂ facilities most of the world identifies as concentration camps. There, the genocide and enslavement of the Uyghur people are ongoing. The tactics employed are reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution, but the results are far more insidious because of the technology used, most of it stolen from Silicon Valley. In the words of Turkel, ＂Communist China has created an open prison-like environment through the most intrusive surveillance state that the world has ever known while committing genocide and enslaving the Uyghurs on the world’s watch.＂

As a human rights attorney and Uyghur activist who now serves on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, Turkel tells his personal story to help explain the urgency and scope of the Uyghur crisis. Born in 1970 in a reeducation camp, he was lucky enough to survive and eventually make his way to the US, where he became the first Uyghur to receive an American law degree. Since then, he has worked as a prominent lawyer, activist, and spokesperson for his people and advocated strong policy responses from the liberal democracies to address atrocity crimes against his people.

The Uyghur crisis is turning into the greatest human rights crisis of the twenty-first century, a systematic cleansing of an entire race of people in the millions. Part Anne Frank and Hannah Arendt, No Escape shares Turkel’s personal story while drawing back the curtain on the historically unprecedented and increasing threat from China.
