Research

In 2019, Zenz studied the mass detention of Uyghurs in re-education camps in Xinjiang based on Chinese government documents and spreadsheets pointing toward factories with interned workers from the internment camps.[3] In July 2019, Zenz published a study giving a speculative upper limit to the number of people detained in Xinjiang re-education camps at 1.5 million.[5] In November 2019, Zenz estimated that the number of internment camps in Xinjiang had surpassed 1,000.[6]

Personal life

Zenz is a born-again Christian. He stated he feels he's "led by God" in his mission. [1].
