About the Book: No Escape is a memoir and call-to-action by Nury Turkel, a human rights activist who was born in a Chinese “re-education” camp during the Cultural Revolution. The book recounts his early life in captivity and his eventual journey to the United States, where he was granted asylum. It provides an insider’s account of the Chinese government’s oppression of the Uyghur people, detailing the forced labor camps, religious and ethnic persecution, forced sterilization, and the extensive surveillance that has turned Xinjiang into a police state.
