After 15 months in the Urumqi field, where he was a victim of torture and humiliations, He was released and is currently a refugee in France.
RFI: Passed 15 months locked in a Urumqi field. When it came out, The police threatened her, They told him that, If I spoke, They would find it anywhere in the world. ¿Why did he decide to declare anyway and break the silence?
Gulbahar Jalili Galili: They stopped me although I had not committed any crime. We were all innocent. I saw the horrors, the violations, The torture that all these women suffered, Some were beaten in such a way that their faces were totally disfigured. I can't forget all these humiliations. As I am of Kazaja nationality, My prison companions made me promise that, If it came out alive, I would tell everything to the world. Anyway, I can't go back to normal life as if nothing had happened. I will never forget this hell, These violations, These torture, These humiliations. What happens to me, I chose to speak, I can't do anything else.
RFI: ¿You can describe the living conditions in your cell, A cell of 25 square meters that had to share with others 30 women?
Gulbahar Jalili Galili: There was a kind of large iron bed without blanket or anything we had to share with some 40 women. All day we had to sit in front of the bathroom, While the cameras installed in the four corners of the room watched us, Even when we went to the bathroom.

RFI: ¿How was everyday life in that cell?
Gulbahar Jalili Galili: Everything was meticulously regulated. Injections put us every ten days. The police pointed to us with their weapons and we had to completely undress, with the arms on the head. Once a week we had to queue and they gave us medications. We didn't know what it was. Before each meal, They forced us to sing five patriotic songs, of it contrary we did not get anything to eat.
RFI: Los guardias las amenazaban con enviarlas a la "celda negra"… ¿What was this punishment?
Gulbahar Jalili Galili: I know some who died after passing through the dark room. There was a girl from 25 years called meghpire that spent seven days there. He told us that he was locked in a square meter room. Within, Only a metal chair in which it was tied. Your needs fell through a hole in the seat on a sewer under it. They feed him through an iron spill, But great rats were around his cell, They stole food and bit it. He spent all the time driving away rats.
RFI: He mentioned violations, ¿You have also suffered. sexual abuse?
Gulbahar Jalili Galili: Yeah, I've been raped. I also saw many young women who were very worried. After medical treatment, they had stopped menstruating and wondered if they could continue having children. I also saw young mothers who were separated from their babies and bleed. If a woman was pregnant, They forced her to abort. And the newborns, We never knew where they took them.
RFI: China dice que quiere "reeducar" a los uigures y "erradicar el virus del islamismo". ¿What do you think is the true objective of these forced internments?
Gulbahar Jalili Galili: The goal is to turn the Uigures into good Chinese, washing their brain. They accused me of terrorism, Without any proof. They released me and told me that I was acquitted, but ¿acquitted of what? I have seen many women convicted of death, Despite not having committed any crime. Women were forced to sign confessions without having done anything. China wants to destroy, eradicate Uigures as a town. That is why they also take children, They want to turn them into good Chinese.
RFI: In his opinion, ¿How important is the vote in the National Assembly to recognize the genocidal nature of repression in Xinjiang?
Gulbahar Jalili Galili: The vote in the National Assembly is extremely important for me. If the French, who live in a free country, They do not defend the Uigures, ¿Who will? Uigures have no right to express themselves. This vote is a great hope for me. From 2017, China has only opened new fields, none have been closed. I hope the deputies are on the right side and defend those who have no voice.
