Uighur doctor tells of 'forced abortions and removal of wombs' in China | ITV News

A beauty salon in an Istanbul suburb is not the place you would expect to hear some of the gravest accusations against a government.

It is also not where you would expect to meet a woman who, though ashamed, speaks of knowingly taking the lives of babies.

At her request we are not naming the woman, a Uighur doctor, but we are broadcasting her disturbing testimony.

She says that for much of her career she worked for the Chinese government as part of what she describes as its population control plan to curtail the growth of the Uighur population.
