A Pakistani father’s ordeal: China seized his Uighur son and sent his daughters to an orphanage

LOL Indians and Americans shedding crocodile tears for Uyghur Muslims in Pakistan. Something doesn't add up.

You are right, no one should. The Muslim world’s apathy towards the Uighurs validates that money speaks louder than any scripture.

There is no genocide against Uyghur. You have fabricated lies. The developing nations understand this.

Would be interesting to see how it's turned into a Chinese colony once CPEC finishes!

Instead of using opinions, why don’t you point out what part of the report you don’t agree with, factually?

Xinjiang: Evil genocide, blue skies and Santa Claus
Population control, restrictions on religious freedom, forced labor and so-called "Uygur concentration camps." Are these the truth about Xinjiang? Mario Cavalo, senior fellow at the Center for China and Globalization, points out that these are just Western propaganda campaign and rumormongering about Xinjiang. These are not reason and truth, but lies and errors.

so sad... but China is on wrong side of the history here ...

Everybody knows that this is not religious persecution, but an ethnic one, unlike India. If you see they also have the Hui Muslims, while they are scattered, Uighurs are ethnically central Asian and not scattered. China has been doing this since the 90s, the US props it up because it is rising now. Chinese didn't learn what the Japanese did to them in Manchuria. Well, let's see what the future holds. The thing is Chinese listen, unlike Indians, who must be neutered to keep them in check.

 

[IsThisNameAvailable]

You are speaking out of guilty conscience. In other words you are saying as long as India doesn't stop killing Kashmiris, pakistan will keep mum about Uighur Muslims.

This is patent hypocrisy and more over against the teaching of Islam.
Pakistanis pride themselves calling Pakistan as fortress of Islam and PM Imran khan speaks about Muslim issues all around the world but when it comes to China, he becomes tongue tied.

It is not his fault. Anyone, I mean anyone, would prefer to have his tongue tied if the other option on the table is getting cXsXrXtXd. LOL.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again. To the Chinese there is only one single principle which holds true to them, and that is “Might is right”.

This predicament that they are in and the backclash they are facing everywhere from around the world, how they interpret this as is “We are still not mighty enough to silence those who criticize us”. A Chinese doesn’t see wrong in their actions, the concept of “wrong” which is ingrained in Judeo-Christian and Islamic cultures is totally oblivious to them. There is no such thing as a wrong to the Chinese and there is no such thing as right, to them it’s only who ends up on top and whoever is the most mighty.

A Pakistani father’s ordeal: China seized his Uighur son and sent his daughters to an orphanage

Sakandar Hayat, a Pakistani whose Uighur wife was detained in Kashgar, in China’s Xinjiang region, and sent to prison, hopes to reunite with his family.

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan —
Sakandar Hayat wanted it to be a special Ramadan. He and his teenage boy Arafat left northwestern China and crossed the border into Hayat’s native Pakistan. It was a journey to bring father and son closer together. But it would end up tearing their family apart.

The two had been in Pakistan for three weeks when they received a phone call from back home in the Chinese region of Xinjiang. Hayat’s wife, an ethnic Uighur, had been detained. He and Arafat raced to the border, where Chinese police were waiting. They arrested Arafat, a Uighur like his mother, saying he would be questioned on what he had done in Pakistan.
“Don’t separate us,” Hayat begged the police. “Question him in front of me. I’ll be silent and he will speak truth.”
“You’ll have your son back in a week,” the police told him that day in 2017.
Arafat would be lost to him for two years.


Hayat is one of hundreds of Pakistanis who have suffered from China’s suppression of Muslims in the Xinjiang territory that is home to about 10 million ethnic Uighurs. Rich in minerals, gas and oil, the vast region is dotted with concentration camps where Chinese authorities have locked up more than a million Uighurs and other Muslim minorities, according to human rights groups, survivors, victims’ families and United Nations experts.

But increasingly, China’s campaign against Uighurs has spilled across its borders, entangling men such as Hayat, a Pakistani garment trader who, with his wife, raised three children while trapped between the politics and ambitions of two countries.

Hayat’s saga reflects how Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s hard-line vision of crushing dissent extends beyond consolidation of power at home to blocking criticism from foreign governments, even when their own citizens are mistreated. The silence of Pakistan, which has been outspoken on oppression of Muslims across the world but has refrained from criticizing China — a major economic benefactor and potential provider of COVID-19 vaccines — reflects how many nations are wary of jeopardizing their ties to Beijing.

The Times interviewed four Pakistanis married to Uighurs who have been separated from their families, two Pakistani Uighurs who have been threatened by Pakistani security forces, and one Chinese Uighur who fled abroad via Pakistan after being detained in a camp. Fearing retaliation from authorities in both countries, several of them asked not to be named, although The Times reviewed their marriage and identification documents.
“It is very hard to leave your heart, your children, to live in a place worse than a prison,” Hayat said. After his wife and Arafat, who was then 19, were detained, Hayat was denied a visa to China for two years. The couple’s two daughters, who were 7 and 12 at the time, were sent to an orphanage in Kashgar without his consent.


He pleaded with Chinese and Pakistani officials for information on his family with no response until 2019, when Chinese officials said his son was receiving “education,” a euphemism for the camps where Beijing says minorities are receiving “vocational training” to combat “extremism, separatism and terrorism.”


Those who have been inside the camps tell a different story. Mohammed, a Uighur from southern Xinjiang who had been doing business between China and Pakistan since the early 2000s, told The Times that he had been detained for seven months. He was arrested when he crossed the border in June 2018, he said, then held in a camp with his hands chained together in a room of 35 people.

Every morning, they woke up at 4 a.m. for lectures about the Chinese Communist Party’s care for Uighurs, he said.

“The party is feeding you,” he remembered being told. “Uighurs are nothing without this party. If there was no Communist Party, Uighurs would have died of hunger.”

He and others were then forced to sing songs praising the party and Xi. After that they did morning exercise, running in circles as the sun rose. They were fed hot water and a piece of bread, and led to five hours of Chinese-language lessons. No one was allowed to speak Uighur, Mohammed said.

China’s oppression of Muslims reaches beyond Xinjiang into Pakistan. Why does it stay quiet?

very inhuman .

 

[beijingwalker]

A decade ago suicide bombings and attacks happened almost on monthly basis, and not only in Xinjiang, attacks happened everywhere in China even at Tiananmen square in center Beijing, thousands of civilian died or maimed, the Chinese government took some neccessary measures to restore law and order in Xinjiang, without law and order, Xinjiang can never develop, would stay poor and underdeveloped for ever.

Now Xinjiang has enjoyed zero terrorism and attacks for many years already, the region's economy is booming, it enjoys double digit economic growth among the highest in China, over 200 million people visit xinjiang and bring in tons after tons tourist revenue, people's standard of living reaches a new high every passing day.

These are things that the west can never tolerate, they want to see Xinjiang like neighboring Afghanistan where bombings and fightings are a fact of life, the west need to destablise Xinjiang and China, the current great peace and stability is a thorn in their side and they are pulling all stops trying to upset it.
