Charity Open Doors said scores of Christians have been sent to ‘re-education’ over the past few months where they are taught to be loyal to communist ideology instead of religion.
Most of those targeted are from the Xinjiang region and according to William Nee, a China expert with Amnesty International, Chinese authorities have quotas they must meet under the new religious freedom crackdown.
Mr Nee told Express.co.uk: “What has happened in the Xinjiang region is a human rights disaster like the Rohingya crisis although it hasn’t received as much coverage.
“I have heard that some Christians have been sent there but they mostly target ethnic minorities.
“They are forcibly removed from their homes by police, often in a black hood.
“They are then taken to these camps which are very much like prisons. Many prisons often also serve as reeducation centres.
“There have reports of physical abuse and several deaths in these centres.”
He added there is an estimated 5,000 people who have been forcibly taken to these re-education camps, which are also known under the guise of “citizen study centres” and “anti-extremism centres”.
