In reality, many of the missing are highly educated, successful people.

Her details have remained consistent in every retelling. Tursun\u2019s interview with Breitbart News, however, is among her first where she tells her story in English.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was in Egypt studying in a British University, then I birthed triplets, two boys and one girl,\u201d she narrated to Breitbart News. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy to take care of my kids, so I wanted to go back to my country, to East Turkistan. I need my parents to help me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2015, after being in prison three months, one of my kids passed away because the Chinese government wanted to give them surgery. I don\u2019t know what surgery,\u201d Tursun recalled. \u201cI don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing to my son. He passed away. Because my one kid passed away, they let me stay freely in my parents\u2019 home to take care of the other two kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt that time \u2026 24 hours, they are watching me. I cannot use internet, I cannot go outside from home, I cannot talk with anybody, I cannot use cell phone even. And, of course, I cannot have religion,\u201d Tursun continued. \u201cOf course, that time was a very very horrible experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tursun recalled that a Communist Party agent lived in her home to monitor the family while they mourned the death of the baby. Other testimonies from East Turkistan have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/national-security\/2019\/11\/05\/report-china-sending-han-chinese-men-sleep-wives-uyghur-detainees\/\">revealed<\/a> a systematic government implementation of Han Chinese agents living in Uyghur homes and, on some occasions, sleeping in bed with Uyghur women while their husbands are tortured in a concentration camp.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Tursun still does not know what happened to her infant boy. In past interviews, she has speculated that Chinese officials killed the baby via force-feeding, but she was not present for what happened as Chinese Communist Party agents were reportedly torturing her in a separate part of the concentration camp.<\/p>\n<p>Tursun returned to a concentration camp in 2017, she told Breitbart News.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAt that time, my kids were one year old and there were two [of them]. They took me to prison and wanted to ask me a lot of questions. I have three days and nights, nonstop questions. I cannot sleep, I get tortured \u2014 electric, in my head,\u201d she narrated. \u201cThey shear[ed] my hair, give me electric torture, and give me to take some medicine that led me to answer. I don\u2019t know what medicine this is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The beatings and torture were so severe that Tursun lost hearing in her right ear \u201cbecause [of] a lot of blood coming from my ear,\u201d she recalled. \u201cAnd they broke my nose.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18764810\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"42\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Mihrigul-Tursun-National-Press-Club-nov18-ap.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18764810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Mihrigul-Tursun-National-Press-Club-nov18-ap.jpg\" alt=\"Mihrigul Tursun, right, speaks at a event at the National Press Club in Washington, Monday, Nov. 26, 2018.

She noted that the Communist Party put her through a Kafka-esque process in which she was told she had received two life sentences in prison or, if she chose, execution in a camp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know actually for what,\u201d Tursun explained. \u201cBecause you go to Egypt and you are Muslim, you have religion. Of course, because [I want to live], I tell them I am not Muslim, I don\u2019t have religion, even I cannot pray. But it\u2019s not helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Agents later told her that they would not execute her if she spied for the regime abroad, Tursun said \u2014 coinciding with extensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/11\/11\/study-uyghurs-in-america-face-daily-chinese-harassment\/\">reporting<\/a> revealing that Beijing often pressures Uyghurs abroad to engage in espionage against their own people in the name of communism. The alternative to spying, she added, was death. She could choose three options.<\/p>\n<p>The least painful, Tursun recalled, was a firing squad execution, which would cost her 600 yuan ($94) per bullet if she chose it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, this is a terrible life, but I don\u2019t lose hope \u2026 I have to take care of my kids,\u201d Tursun said.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese Communist Party ultimately released her and allowed her to travel to Egypt, where she defected to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Since going public with her story, Tursun has faced an unrelenting campaign of character assassination by the Chinese state. Chinese government publications and broadcasters have repeatedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/national-security\/2018\/11\/29\/china-attacks-uighur-torture-victim-its-easy-to-tell-the-woman-was-lying\/\">referred<\/a> to her as a liar and mocked her story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did an experiment: Sending the link [of the article] to ordinary Chinese I know.
