A video suspected to be about the #Xinjiang re-education camps was posted by a hacker

In the video, a group of people, very likely to be the #Uyghur #Muslims in the re-education camp due to their dressing, were being forced to transfer to an unknown place by large groups of armed police, with their eyes covered by black masks.
