The Xinjiang internment camps,[a] officially called Xinjiang Vocational Education and Training Centers (Chinese: 新疆职业技能教育培训中心[3]) by the government of China,[4][5][6][7] are internment camps run by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region government and its Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Human Rights Watch says that they have been used to imprison Uyghurs and other Muslims since 2017 as part of a "people's war on terror," a policy announced in 2014.[8] The camps have been criticized by many countries and human rights organizations for alleged human rights abuses.[9][10]
