No Escape

The True Story of China's Genocide of the Uyghurs

De: Nury Turkel

Narrado por: Stewart Lang

A powerful memoir by Nury Turkel 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.

Compelling

Fantastic inside study of a modern tragedy. My only issue is the politicization in the last few chapters.

A need to read

Unbelievable yet believable. This information should spread as fast as possible. History repeats itself while the world sits idly

Needs to be widely read

This book needs to be a regular part of educational curriculums worldwide. Comprehensive accounting of the ongoing Uyghur genocide and the next generation of totalitarianism.

Startling, eye opener

Very disturbing account and of concern that the silence is deafening regarding China and the treatment of this group of people. May this book prompt real action on the part of governments and industry that have turned a blind eye to this injustice and ,thereby have allowed it to continue .a

Required reading for all school systems

I now know that China probably has the resources to prevent it but this book should be read by school systems across the world. As a singular person in Boston, Massachusetts with a family, with religious freedom with political autonomy, with all the comforts and hat a constitutional Republic provides. I am heartbroken for the Uyghur people--that they are robbed of these rights.
There is a genocide happening and nobody is doing anything about it!!!!!!!

Well-explained book about what’s behind the Uyghur Genocide

This is one of the overall-explained book about what’s behind the Uyghur Genocide. Best book about the Uyghur Genocide & related facts.

Required Reading/Listening

Everyone should read Nury Turkel’s first-hand account of China’s perpetration of a campaign of genocide against the Uyghurs. Like Elie Wiesel before him, he bears witness we must stand with him against the genocidaires in China.

Powerfully Provocative

That this suffering continues is heart-rending. Having spent significant time in China, it is a country and people I dearly love but I’m not oblivious to the conflicts that exist.

Very well narrated. Not sure why there is criticism of Chinese pronunciation as it is excellent.

One point: the author seems oblivious to similar evil greedily perpetuated by the Biden, Pelosi, Clintons et al cartel, albeit with different means. How this is ignored by the author amazes me as he generously doles out complements to these “one world order” party players.

Eye Opening

A well written documentation about the genocide and crimes of humanity committed against the Uyghurs by China. The narration is excellent.

Powerful & revealing book exposing the CCP’s dark underbelly.

Nury’s telling of CCP’s genocidal treatment of the Uyghur people is heartbreaking and truly horrifying. When we think of genocide, most of us think about the nazi concentration camps and the mass execution of Jews and Romani. The CCP is today taking those same tactics in China, adding a 21st century twist of cyber monitoring, to prop up the Han demographic at the expense of the Uyghurs. This is a telling look at the hidden parts of the CCP. A must read.
