Human rights organizations assert that over one million Uyghurs are detained in China’s so-called ‘re-education camps’, with claims of forced labor in the tomato industry. A BBC investigation found that ‘Italian’ tomato puree sold in UK supermarkets contains tomatoes harvested under coercive conditions in China’s Xinjiang region. Despite China’s denial of these allegations and claims that labor rights are protected, testimonies from individuals indicate severe abuses, including torture and coercion, confirming previous UN reports on the situation in Xinjiang.
