Today, there are thought to be up to a million Muslims held in 're-education camps' in the Xinjiang region of North-West China. One of the few Western commentators to have lived in the region, journalist Nick Holdstock travels into the heart of the province and reveals the Uyghur story as one of repression, hardship and helplessness. \u003ci\u003eChina's Forgotten People\u003c\/i\u003e explains why repression of the Muslim population is on the rise in the world's most powerful one-party state.
