Xinjiang Data Project p2 is out. This satellite-heavy research found approx. 16,000 mosques (65%) have been destroyed/damaged since 2017 + 30% of key Islamic sites (shrines, cemeteries, pilgrimage routes inc. many protected by law) have been demolished https://www.aspi.org.au/report/cultural-erasure

The NYT's @ChuBailiang @austinramzy have incredible multimedia coverage which includes info gathered from visits: "The NYT verified many of the details in ASPI’s report by studying satellite images & visiting sites across southern Xinjiang last year" https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/25/world/asia/xinjiang-china-religious-site.html
