HEALTH Xinjiang has been forcing unproven medicine on people Neha Kumari Sep 01, 2020 17:09 GMT The Chineese government Xinjiang has been forcing unproven medicine on people in lockdown, according to reports from inside the country. The government in China is reportedly resorting to draconian measures to fight with coronavirus, including physically locking residents in homes. They are even imposing quarantines of more than 40 days and arresting those who do not comply. It has also revealed that people are being forced to take traditional Chinese medicines to see if they have any symptoms of coronavirus. However police had arrested the middle-aged Uighur woman at the height of China’s coronavirus outbreak. She was kept into a cell with dozens of other women in a detention center. She was forced to drink a medicine that made her feel weak and nauseous, guards watching as she gulped. She and the others also had to strip naked once a week and cover their faces as guards hosed them and their cells down with disinfectant “like firemen,” she said. “It was scalding,” recounted the woman by phone from Xinjiang, declining to be named out of fear of retribution. “My hands were ruined, my skin was peeling.” The Uighur woman says she’s flushing the medicine and pills down the toilet. “There’s no other way if the government wants to control this epidemic,” he said, declining to be named to avoid retribution. “We don’t want our outbreak to become like Europe or America.” xinjiang Read More Read the Next Article
