If you have doubt that the sources are questionable, so why do you believe the treatment of the Uyghurs to be unjust?

There are other, less questionable sources. For example, this report by Nankai University: https://web.archive.org/web/20200507161938/https://ciwe.nankai.edu.cn/2019/1223/c18571a259225/page.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20200507161938/https://ciwe.nank... They especially criticize situations like the following 有多次新疆劳务人员在组团干部的带领下，在接近到达目的地的火车上接到当地公安部门不允许下车的命令，结果导致很多令人尴尬、懊丧、失败的现象发生。有几次经过解说后被允许下了火车但又不允许出站台，出了站台又不允许进厂，进厂后却不允许上班工作，已经工作几天的甚至勒令必须立即回新疆老家，否则公安部门经常以各种理由到企业上门检查、询问、调查，致其根本无法正常上班干活，而企业不得不委屈地找各种理由解雇本已经适应工作岗位的工人。这些情况已经发生在几个省市区，当然有的省市区干脆压根儿就不允许任何新疆籍人员进入。所有这些，都是在冠冕堂皇的以地区安全稳定为由、为幌子下进行的。 Of course that's not the kind of unjust treatment that tends to be highlighted in Western sources (I found this report via an article that focused more on "通过劳务输出的方式，既减少了维族在新疆地区的人口密度，也是感化、融化、同化少数维族人员的重要方法") but it's definitely unjust treatment.

There were acts of political violence against the state recently (within the last 5 years), and China in general is a surveillance and police state whose tactics are in general unjust (from an outsider's perspective), so I presume the state is focusing those tactics on the population of Xinjiang in particular.
