Megha Rajagopalan's Xinjiang series won the Pulitzer Prize in the International Reporting category

New York:
Megha Rajagopalan, an Indian-origin journalist, along with two contributors has won the Pulitzer Prize for innovative investigative reports that exposed a vast infrastructure of prisons and mass internment camps secretly built by China for detaining hundreds of thousands of Muslims in its restive Xinjiang region.

Ms Rajagopalan from BuzzFeed News is among two Indian-origin journalists who won the US's top journalism award on Friday.

Tampa Bay Times'' Neil Bedi won for local reporting. Neil Bedi along with Kathleen McGrory has been awarded the prize for the series exposing a Sheriff's Office initiative that used computer modelling to identify people believed to be future crime suspects. About 1,000 people were monitored under the programme, including children.

Neil Bedi is an investigative reporter for the Tampa Bay Times.

"What Kathleen and Neil unearthed in Pasco County has had a profound impact on the community," said Mark Katches, Times executive editor. "This is what the best investigative journalism can do and why it is so essential."

Ms Rajagopalan's Xinjiang series won the Pulitzer Prize in the International Reporting category.

In 2017, not long after China began to detain thousands of Muslims in Xinjiang, Rajagopalan was the first to visit an internment camp - at a time when China denied that such places existed, BuzzFeed News said.

"In response, the government tried to silence her, revoking her visa and ejecting her from the country," BuzzFeed News wrote in its entry for the prize.

"It would go on to cut off access to the entire region for most Westerners and stymie journalists. The release of basic facts about detainees slowed to a trickle."

Working from London, and refusing to be silenced, Ms Rajagopalan partnered with two contributors, Alison Killing, a licensed architect who specialises in forensic analysis of architecture and satellite images of buildings, and Christo Buschek, a programmer who builds tools tailored for data journalists.

"The blazing Xinjiang stories shine desperately needed light on one of the worst human rights abuses of our time," said Mark Schoofs, editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed News.

Minutes after she won, Ms Rajagopalan told BuzzFeed News she wasn't even watching the ceremony live because she wasn't expecting to win. She only found out when Mr Schoofs called to congratulate her on the victory.

"I'm in complete shock, I did not expect this," Ms Rajagopalan said over the phone from London.

She said she was deeply grateful to the teams of people who worked with her on this including her collaborators, Killing and Buschek, her editor Alex Campbell, BuzzFeed News'' public relations team, and the organisations that funded their work, including the Pulitzer Center.

Ms Rajagopalan also acknowledged the courage of the sources who spoke to them despite the risk and threat of retaliation against them and their families.

"I'm so grateful they stood up and were willing to talk to us," she said. "It takes so much unbelievable courage to do that."

The three of them set out to analyse thousands of satellite images of the Xinjiang region, an area bigger than Alaska, to try to answer a simple question: Where were Chinese officials detaining as many as 1 million Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other Muslim minorities?

For months, the trio compared censored Chinese images with uncensored mapping software. They began with an enormous dataset of 50,000 locations.

Buschek built a custom tool to sort through those images. Then, "the team had to go through thousands of images one by one, verifying many of the sites against other available evidence," BuzzFeed News wrote in its prize entry.

They ultimately identified more than 260 structures that appeared to be fortified detention camps. Some of the sites were capable of holding more than 10,000 people and many contained factories where prisoners were forced into labour.

The groundbreaking technological reporting was also accompanied by extensive old-fashioned "shoe leather" journalism.

Barred from China, Ms Rajagopalan instead travelled to its neighbour Kazakhstan, where many Chinese Muslims have sought refuge.

There, Ms Rajagopalan located more than two dozen people who had been prisoners in the Xinjiang camps, winning their trust and convincing them to share their nightmarish accounts with the world.

Pulitzer prizes are awarded yearly in twenty-one categories. In twenty of the categories, each winner receives a certificate and a USD 15,000 cash award. The winner in the public service category is awarded a gold medal.

Serve thy masters and get rewarded!

no one is denying what Western countries have done and what crimes they have committed

but by posting this you are basically guilty without acceptance

when they interview Israeli foreign minister about the Gaza deaths they always say yeah well look what the Assad has done in Syria look what Saddam did in Iraq

a guilty person has this response and you just did exactly that

:sarcastic: :sarcastic: :sarcastic:

Well if responding to anti-Chinese trolls who have busily wasting their lifes posting unsubstantiated lies fabricated by the US Propaganda Machine or those they sponsored e.g. ASPI is an indication of my guilt so be it.
Your mindset is already fixed.
The question. What is in the video that triggers your inner fear? The truth!

But if one step outside then one will discovered that they still have a lot to learn.

Neither Truth nor Honor is a principle of those of USA nor its blinded followers today.

While all these are happening, the trolls completely skipped the news of real genocides that were committed in Canada and elsewhere and are now slowly exposed.

Burying and concealing real evidences of crimes and genocides that existed in the West do not lend any credence to their allegations of slaveries and genocides in Xinjiang as far as logic go.

Showing a picture of a real prison in Xinjiang and then presenting its as evidence of concentration camp in all its video by BBC is totally dishonest.


:coffee:

Firsthand Accounts = NO photo, NO video
sure - why dont you f.. give us independent monitors access to your concentration camps.

next, also give us access to your surveillance and torture videos.

wait - while we are at it; let us establish Truth and Reconciliation Commission for your glorious Xi/Mao wine toting brigades genocide from the 60's, cultural revolution, great leap forward into vaccuum, political rehab, tibet, xinjiang.

Let people come forward. LEt your cadres feel the power of the people - they will get buried into the hell holes they created for rest. Your dodo brain govt uses fear, torture to keep people in tow. So, you can keep quiet and go back to your digestion of Winnie Xi Pooh revised edition of red book to seek divinity.

Problem - you are so brainwashed in Winnie Xi Pooh wine that you have lost all sense of reality.

So much desperation for bonus payments. I asked before, can you tell us - how much are you fellows getting paid for posting on this forum to keep CCP attrocities chaste. I am willing to give you a 50% bonus - if you can prove with your WeChat id.

This is Huge news that all members of the G7 is also calling for...

G7 calls for new study into origins of Covid and voices concern on China

I suspect that you are not your mother’s son. You should ask me to investigate and send me the DNA information of you and your mother. :omghaha: :omghaha: :omghaha: :omghaha: :omghaha:
You have been reported. You have crossed the line by getting to my mother. You dick head, i will put you into the ground for what you are writing. I am not a uighur who will be put into silence.

This is a classic paid ccp bot tactic to get under your skin and close the thread down when you know you have nothing to counter against. Get personal. You are so desperate to get to this level - may be you get 25c more for such words.

Pity.... you and your kind... no life in the gutter you come from. Come to my place in person - I willl give you a good drubbing for what you have written; shows the gutter covid infested dung hole you come from.

@waz - in many parts of the world insulting my mother, i swear I will have this clown's yellow skin and bury him alive.

the only way China can prove it's not engaging in any of the mentioned crimes against humanity, is for them to allow international press into *ALL* of their detention / re-education / work / prison camps.

failure to do so will probably, and with my full blessing, lead to sanctions, boycotts and severe reputation-damage eventually.

This is truly what is needed. Open and independent outside these western/eastern setup. We have a lot of experience with this work. Our judicial people have championed this work - it has lead to the ire of Isreal as well as Sri-Lanka.

South-Africa would bring a large measure of independence to such a review.
Still, i'd like China open the doors of it's prisons, re-education camps and labor camps/facilities *entirely* to *any* group that requests access, at any time. The international crimes tribunal in The Hague for instance.
Anything less than that would mean they are able to continue the practices of which they are accused, which will most likely lead to serious sanctions and boycotts of Chinese goods.

Chinese tend to think the rest of the world is unable or unwilling to produce their own goods.
But the trend over here has already shifted towards local production and local consumption of a now rapidly growing number of types of (essential) consumer goods.

"First hand", why doesn't this person show his/her torture injuries? Why can't US media just even take a photo of the "torture injuries" from the person they interviewed?

scars fade.
