This is the best summary I could come up with:
Human rights groups believe China has detained more than one million Uyghurs against their will over the past few years in a large network of what the state calls "re-education camps".
"The sentencing of Professor Rahile Dawut is a cruel tragedy, a great loss for the Uyghur people, and for all who treasure academic freedom," said John Kamm, executive director of the Dui Hua Foundation.
Ms Dawut's secret trial in December 2018 in a Xinjiang court followed her arrest the previous year for "splittism", a crime of endangering state security.
Ms Dawut is an expert on Uyghur folklore and traditions and had been teaching at Xinjiang University College of Humanities before her arrest.
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Mao Ning said on Friday she had "no information" on Ms Dawut's case, according to AP.
A series of police files obtained by the BBC in 2022 revealed details of China's use of "re-education camps" and described the routine use of armed officers and the existence of a shoot-to-kill policy for those trying to escape.

No sources
Lol seriously. The BBC is ridiculous for their sources being a circle of sourcing back to other articles they wrote, or to literal tabloids that are basically the Asian daily mail.
I honestly don’t know what’s happening with the whole “genocide” thing in China, because western war propaganda has become so obviously shitty and stupid that I can’t take any news I see about China from it seriously anymore.
I am totally willing to believe something bad is happening there, but I’m also not willing to just blindly believe obvious propaganda that’s trying to push for world war three. I seriously don’t understand how there are so many people that are stupid enough to take the stance of “I trust what the CIA and other western powers say about their enemies at face value”.
