I would like to begin by thanking our witnesses for being with us today to provide testimony about the human rights situation facing the Uighurs.
Since its rise to power in 1949, the Communist Party of China has instituted a policy of resettlement, which includes migrating Han Chinese to the traditional Uighur region. Could you tell us what the long-term effect of this resettlement policy has been on the Uighur population? Has there been an increase in human rights violations as a result?
