Looking for the article showing the xinjiang re-education camp photo (see image) is from a 2017 meeting of reformed drug addicts. (upload.wikimedia.org)

I've learned of this claim on friday everyday (yt), here. I've done some searching, both on their website and the wider internet, but I cant seem to find it. Has anyone of y'all seen it and can give a link? This explanation does seem to make sense, but I would prefer to see the article, especially any sources given by Nury.

That seems like misinformation to me. The oldest article I can find with this image is from 2017 on Baidu.. The article says it's from a 3 day long deradicalisation lecture. Which tracks with what I know about it (counter terror operations).

I found something from 2014. Sorry to post, I'm just annoyed that I spent 20 minutes on this and you beat me 😭

Cheers to comrades who fact check! It took me a bit too. But a minor correction... Chinese date formats are YY-MM-DD.

Interesting. I think I will email them about it, as I'm curious why they made this claim.

update: their contact email doesn't work lmao

Unrelated to the picture, but upon looking for it, I found that a useful google doc was no longer available because it violated Google's TOS.

It's still on archive.org tho!
