The US is not to be trusted and loves to manipulate the narrative. It’s good to fact check it, as the US does not have the Uighur people’s lived experience at heart.
Unfortunately, not does the PRC (and inviting journalists from friendly Muslim nations to talk to locals on camera to say everything is fine is one way to narrative shift and give a good media blitz). And while the PRC is probably not targeting Uighurs for organ harvesting any more than any other inmates in the prison system, it is a not a great situation for them there.
There are/were prison camps which provide “vocational training/reeducation”. The many non-Han people of the area are clearly second class citizens, and their cultural spaces have been commodified and turned into tourist spots.
Edit: Bitter Winter also has some stuff, but it’s bloggy and declared by China as “a hostile overseas media operation” … So your milage may vary?
