• Human Rights Watch obtained a leaked Chinese government list of 2,000 Uighur Muslims detained between 2016 and late 2018 in Aksu, Xinjiang.
• Uighurs on that list were detained for reasons including "switching off their phone repeatedly," "generally acting suspiciously," and being "born after the 1980s," Human Rights Watch said.
• The Aksu used data from the Integrated Joint Operations Platform, China's mass surveillance system that builds profiles of all Xinjiang residents.
• Since 2016, China has detained at least one million Uighurs in hundreds of prison camps, which the country euphemistically calls "reeducation centers."

China is detaining its Uighur Muslim citizens for reasons including being younger than 40 years old or appearing untrustworthy, leaked documents show.

On Wednesday, Human Rights Watch published details of a dataset showing the reasons why approximately 2,000 people were detained in Aksu prefecture, Xinjiang, between mid-2016 and late 2018.

Human Rights Watch said that the list appears to come from a part of Aksu that is mostly Uighur, and the group said it is confident that all the people on the list are Uighurs.

Justifications used by officials on the Aksu list to detain the Uighurs included "switching off their phone repeatedly," "generally acting suspiciously," and being "born after the 1980s.

One person on the list, identified as Ms. T, was detained for "links to sensitive countries" after she received four calls from a foreign number in March 2017, Human Rights Watch said.

Officials in Xinjiang have previously used obscure and ridiculous justifications to detain and imprison Uighurs, including setting clocks to a different time zone than Beijing's, which China deems an act of rebellion.

The Aksu list, which was passed to Human Rights Watch by Radio Free Asia's Uyghur Service in August 2020, "provides further insights into how China's brutal repression of Xinjiang's Turkic Muslims is being turbocharged by technology," said Maya Wang, senior China researcher at Human Rights Watch.

"The Chinese government owes answers to the families of those on the list: why were they detained, and where are they now?"

India tied up a man in front of their Jeep for just being Muslim

India should be sanctioned due to terrorism and human rights violations

 

[striver44]

Lol.. suddenly your accusation changes to tell other Muslim how they shall behave like u for China? Didn't u want to prove I fake hijab is allowed in public in China unlike France? Come on prove me wrong. Try use a fake 2015 stories and then get humiliated by my 2018 public video of Chinese Muslim walking freely in Chinese street with hijab.

You standard is getting lower and lower.

as I said, she's not even wearing the correct standard of Hijab as required in Islam

Brother, they have an agenda, and that is to sow discord between Chinese and Pakistanis. Let's not give them that.
They don't care about Kashmir Muslims, they care about Uyghurs.

Seriously I don't even know how authentic are this video with their eyes and face covered? Looks like some fabricate stories about Chinese Muslim again. But what I know is hijab is allowed in China public places unlike some fool who debunk by me trying to spread false rumours of hijab banned in China.

Can France Muslim enjoy the same freedom as Muslim in China?

 

[samsara]

Just 1 that is actually nearing the correct way to use the hijab.

Why did you put such fake info here?

Don't you know that CIA is the master in creating fake stuffs for propaganda purpose to put the blame to its target, from the 1960s to today?

It did the fakery operations everywhere... created fake pictures, fake videos, fake information, fake news, to topple the targeted leaders, to foment color revolutions, to instigate regime changes, to create hatred against its targets, to smear one's reputation, etc etc.....

The CIA is the master in creating fake stuffs, over decades they have been mastering the innumerable arts of fakes and dirties tricks...

This Map Shows a Trillion-Dollar Reason Why US is Backing Terrorism in Western China

As part of a larger, CONCERTED EFFORT to encircle and contain China, an ONGOING DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN has been waged by the Western media against Beijing's massive global infrastructure building spree known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

A recent and particularly appalling example of this comes from a Business Insider article titled, "This map shows a trillion-dollar reason why China is oppressing more than a million Muslims."

The article has been widely circulated by the Western-funded fronts cited in the article itself, including Human Rights Watch (HRW) whose executive director - Kenneth Roth - would claim in a social media post:

China's mass detention of Uighur Muslims is driven [not] only by Islamophobia but also by the centrality of their Xinjiang region to China's Belt and Road Initiative.

Claims that Chinese policy is "driven by Islamophobia" are particularly absurd. China's closest ally and partner in the region is Pakistan - an undoubtedly Muslim-majority nation. Roth never explains why the BRI's "centrality" would drive "mass detentions" in Xinjiang when Chinese infrastructure projects elsewhere - both within China and abroad - including across Muslim-majority Pakistan - do not feature nor necessitate such "detentions."

Something is clearly missing from the Business Insider's, Human Rights Watch's, and the rest of the Western media's Xinjiang narrative.

no, we've had many videos about this, and we know china engage in PR stunt like this,

just because you show us a video of you (pretending) to be cozy with Islam doesn't change the fact on the ground.
When Nazi came into power in 1933 they don't enforce the holocaust in a day
first they asked the SA to block the people into buying stuff in Jewish stores
then they started mobs against the jew
then they started attaching a certain pin to identify you as a jew
then they started arresting you
and finally the kill you en masse

same with China, just because there's some picture of women in hijab doesn't change a well known facts, the Chinese communist party are very eager for them to be atheist as a commie. wonder why none of those women in camps wore hijab???

they're not going to enforce everything in a day but bit by bit, starting from the uyghurs, the mongolians, and next the hui.

The Uighur deserve all the sympathy and attention they can get, but it would be naive to imagine that the sudden interest of the west in their fate over the last year has much to do with the undoubted justice of their cause. President Xi Jinping has been chosen as the new demon king in the eyes of the US and its allies, his every action fresh evidence of the fiendish evil of the Chinese state.

There is no reason to suppose that any of the films of Uighur prisoners manacled hand and foot are untrue or that a million Uighurs are not the targets of brainwashing in giant concentration camps. But the manipulation of public opinion has always relied less on mendacity, the manufacturing of false facts, and more on selectivity; on broadcasting the crimes of one’s opponents and keeping very quiet about similar acts of oppression by oneself and one’s allies.

What is striking over the last year is the disparity between the international attention given to the fate of the 11 million Uighurs in the Autonomous Uighur Region in Xingjian and the 13 million people in Jammu and Kashmir.

The situations in Kashmir and Xinjiang are comparable in some ways. On 5 August last year, Indian prime minister Narendra Modi’s government stripped Kashmir of its special rights and split it into two federally administered territories. He claimed that the aim was the economic regeneration of Kashmir, but the prolonged curfews enforced by a heavily reinforced Indian military presence has ruined local economic life.
These lockdowns and the almost complete shutdown of the internet are far more severe than anything resulting from the coronavirus epidemic, and have reduced Kashmiris to colonial servitude. “This has been compounded,” says Amnesty International, “by a censored media, continuing detention of political leaders, arbitrary restrictions due to the pandemic with little to no redress.”

The anniversary of the end to Kashmir’s autonomy was marked this month by even tighter restrictions. Local political leaders were jailed or were forbidden to leave their houses. “One year later the authorities are still too afraid to allow us to meet, much less carry out any normal political activity,” said the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, on Twitter. But worse things than jail and house arrest happen at the hands of the Indian authorities. Since 1990 between 8,000 and 10,000 Kashmiris have disappeared according to the Association of the Parents of the Disappeared, a movement modelled on that of the Argentinian mothers whose children had vanished, mostly tortured to death or executed by the military dictatorship.
Kashmir is only the apogee of the mounting persecution of almost 200 million Indian Muslims under Modi’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government. The willingness of the government to double-down on humiliating the Muslims was exemplified this week when Modi laid the foundation stone for a Hindu temple to replace the sixteenth century mosque that was destroyed by right-wing Hindu mobs in 1992. Some 2,000 people were killed in the rioting that followed the mosque’s destruction.

Powerful governments tend to underestimate the amount of trouble that small minorities can cause them, despite an immense disparity in the balance of power between the central state and the minority in question. Look at the trouble a small ethnicity like the Uighurs have caused Beijing. Foreign powers may be exploiting their grievances for their own purposes, but those grievances are real. Look at the trouble a century ago that the Irish and the Boers caused the British Empire at the height of its power. Then as now, the very puniness of the opposition of small communities tempted seemingly all-powerful regimes to reject conciliation in the belief that they have no need to compromise. They do not understand why their overwhelming political and military power does not make them the easy winner.
Kashmir is a classic example of this syndrome. By ending the state’s autonomy, Modi said he would bring an end to the “Kashmir problem”. In fact, he predictably made it worse and it is not going away.


The west has been prepared to back Modi unconditionally because it hopes India will be a counterbalance to China. They are the only states in the world with populations over a billion. But the states backing the BJP Hindu nationalist government have not taken on board what an extraordinarily dangerous game they and Modi are playing: seeking total victory over Kashmir though it is backed by neighbouring nuclear-armed Pakistan.
Attempting to marginalise Indian Muslims so numerous that, if they formed a separate country, it would be the eighth largest in the world is not possible without extreme violence.
The riots in Delhi in February were a taste of this. Ignoring this potential for disaster is like officials in Beirut who were blind to the danger of storing thousands of tons of explosives in the heart of the city.

@striver44 will not bother by Kashmir issue. He is not concern by Kashmir Muslim live or death. As long as Pakistanis can join in his anti China stance will do. If he force Pakistanis to give up Kashmir to destroy China. He will do it without a blink in the name of Islam.

 

[KurtisBrian]

Oh really....
Having a koran in the home is illegal. praying in a mosque is illegal. keeping a beard is illegal. fasting is illegal. forcing muslims to eat pork is legal. destroying of mosques is legal.
So all of this is false islam.....

what planet are you in.

I don't believe that people being poisoned and made ugly so white foreigners, who stole what they have, can make Orc bad guys for their white city supposed good guys to kill or enslave is Islam.

The Human Rights Watch (HRW) is one of the core organizations at the center of the concerted disinformation campaigns against China in Xinjiang, funded by US institutions, to sabotage the Belt and Road Initiative, to sow discord between China and the Muslim World.

If organization like this is genuinely caring about the Muslim people, one will ask what these organizations are doing to help Palestinian people in Palestine? Afghanistan? Yemen? Iraq?... all these decades???

Some Uyghur people were radicalized and turned into terrorists and did terrorism acts across China, killed many innocent folks even in Yunnan, 2000 kilometers away from Xinjiang in 1990s. Several thousands managed to run away then joined those terrorists in Syria, with the support from the USA (either via CIA or DoD).

China is doing with strong efforts to deradicalize those people, so they can live normally in the society as good citizens. Frankly it's much easier to just exterminate the radicalized folks instead of trying correct them. Just look at the USA, they will simply bomb here and there... of course it is easier to bomb than teach one to merge into society and live as good citizens and be loyal to country. Every normal nation and government will require its citizens be loyal and live a normal life. No normal country will allow radicalization by foreign influences under the guise of religion things to stir chaos within its border and sabotage the interests of the greater society, economy and nationhood!

 

[striver44]

Actually in numerous time I've condemned the human suffering caused by the military operations in the Kashmir, I didn't whitewash, yes there is right there (Kashmir) a violence going on. But to be fair none of it equals the suffering the Uyghurs faces in China. In Kashmir you could fled the area and the Indian govt will not chase after you, for the Uyghurs, wherever you go, be assured Beijing hands is very near.


And from the perspective of the religion, China is a worse abuser.

How China be worse abuser???

If China is that bad as you are trying so hard to paint here, you won't see the Uyghur people use their language, have own writing system, have TV channel broadcast in their language, practice their own traditions, carrying on their religion practices. Basically you won't see the state protecting their cultures and since their number is so small compared to the majority Han Chinese, they won't have chance if state has bad intention to the general population there!

Alternatively, all can see on how the Exceptional Uncle treats its Red Indian people; or the Canucks are treating their own Red Indian; or the Deputy Sheriff in Asia-Pacific is treating its Aboriginal people. Mind you that they are all the strongest preachers of the "freedumb and democrazy" errr the "Freedom and Democracy" If the Chinese people are truly abusive as your painting, then we'll see the Uyghur people end up as the Red Indian or Aborigines!!!

But Chinese people will not compromise with the terrorism acts. Chinese people will fight back vehemently against those attackers. China will chase the terrorists, no safe place to hide for those with harmful intention to society, to the unity and harmony of country. China surely won't give those people with harmful ideas the chance to sabotage the country, let alone fomenting separatism idea! One may have his wet dream that China will be soft and tolerate radicalization movement, let the US hands set fire there and plot another break-up like in USSR and Yugoslavia just have the daylight dreaming, Kool-aid drinkers!

 

[Viva_Viet]

Brother, they have an agenda, and that is to sow discord between Chinese and Pakistanis. Let's not give them that.
They don't care about Kashmir Muslims, they care about Uyghurs.

Ah, so where is Kashmir,bro ?? Oh, it's not in CN or far east.

So ,Mod even will give u warning ( spamming in wrong sector) if u post abt India internal issues or Kashmir here

IOC observers have already visited XInjiang and found that Uighurs are doing well. many are social media influencers and celebrities. halal restaraunts are everywhere.

only religious extremists get locked up just like in Pakistan. nobody likes fundamentalists.

India supports China 100% on the Uighurs. Hopefully the border issue is resolved and then Chinese companies can help us in Kashmir.
