For the past year Qurbanjan, a 25-year-old Uighur from western China, has shared a dormitory with nine others at a remote facility surrounded by  desert.

He has a bunk bed, a locker and there's a single squat toilet. The room has sturdy doors that appear to lock on the outside. He insists it is his choice to be here. That he realised his extremist thinking was wrong and he needed re-education. This is a new, Beijing authorised and organised take on the Uighur situation.
