China uses big data to select Uighur Muslims for detention: HRW
China is using a big data programme for policing in the Xinjiang region that arbitrarily selects Uighur Muslims for possible detention, a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report said. China's brutal repression of its Muslim minority is being turbocharged by technology, it added. HRW has made the assessment based on a leaked list of over 2,000 detainees from Xinjiang's Aksu prefecture.
