This report is coming from enlightened western media outlets.. They think it is not right, you think it is..

Seems your enlightenment level is alien level.. Problem is that you Indians think that you have a right to have sex with any girl and she enjoys it with anyone.. that's why you are being called rapists.


Good sweeping statements that are comical over generalizations..anyways for the sake of argument I let you have your opinions

Anyways What I would say China has set the world's best example regarding to how to achieve harmony between Muslims and Non-Muslims...and no other country has any right to interfere in the sovereign internal matter of China..So I am with you on the same page
 
‘This is mass rape’: China slammed over program that ‘appoints’ men to sleep with Uighur women

One of China’s most disturbing policies shocked the world when it made headlines. The full extent of it is even worse than we imagined.

What really happened to China’s vanishing Uighurs?

This week Australia joined 22 other countries to condemn China at the United Nations over its horrifying treatment of the Uighur ethnic minority within its own borders.


Western coverage of one of China’s worst human rights abuses – the mass detainment of over a million Muslim Uighurs – has increased over the past year.

Satellite images revealed the Government destroying scores of traditional burial grounds belonging to Uighurs in northwest Xinjiang; drone footage revealed hundreds of blindfolded and shackled men being transferred to detention camps; and just last month, secret Chinese Government documents revealed how the regime was instructed to deal with the ethnic minority.

But lesser reported on is a disturbing policy implemented in the northwest region – a forced-living arrangement between Han Chinese men and Uighur women that’s been likened to “mass rape”.

The Government claims it’s designed to promote harmony between the different cultural groups. But activists tell a different story.

‘MASS RAPE’: CHINA’S SHOCKING ‘PAIR UP’ PROGRAM

In November, various Western media outlets reported that Han Chinese men had been assigned to monitor the homes of Uighur women whose husbands had been detained in prison camps.

The reports came out after an anonymous Chinese official gave an interview with Radio Free Asia, confirming the program but denying there was anything sinister about it.

As part of the “Pair Up and Become Family” program, Han Chinese men stay with and sleep in the same beds as Uighur women.

According to the Chinese Government, the program is designed to “promote ethnic unity”.

But to Rushan Abbas, a Uighur activist whose family members have been detained in the Xinjiang camps for more than a year, it’s nothing more than systemised rape – part of the Government's brutal ongoing crackdown against the country’s ethnic minority.

“This is mass rape,” she told news.com.au. “The Government is offering money, housing and jobs to Han people to come and marry Uighur people.

“Neither the girls nor their families can reject such a marriage because they will be viewed (by Chinese authorities) as Islamic extremists for not wanting to marry atheist Han Chinese. They have no choice but to marry them.

“(The Han Chinese) have been raping Uighur women in the name of marriage for years. It took more than a year for the media to pick that up.”

While the Chinese Government claims the program is about promoting unity, it also allows officials to keep a close eye on the Uighurs who have spent decades living under increased surveillance.

Human rights organisations have slammed the program, saying there is “no evidence that families can refuse such visits” and describing it as “deeply invasive forced assimilation practices”.

Last month, a Chinese official told Radio Free Asia the purpose of the program was to “help the families with their ideology, bringing new ideas … they talk to them about life, during which time they develop feelings for one another”.

“Normally one or two people sleep in one bed, and if the weather is cold, three people sleep together,” he said, adding “it is now considered normal for females to sleep on the same platform with their paired male ‘relatives’”.

They claimed the “relatives” and their female hosts sleep at least a metre apart at all times and that male Communist Party officials have never tried to take advantage of women.

Ms Abbas says this is all lies. “Tons of pregnancies are coming up,” she said. “Tons of forced abortions. This is mass rape disguised as ‘marriage’. Uighur girls are forced to marry Han Chinese men with government gratifications.”

WHY IS THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT TARGETING XINJIANG?

Hostility towards the Uighur people stems back decades but has increased sharply under China’s current leader Xi Jinping.

The crackdown on Xinjiang is partly fuelled by Islamophobia. Mr Xi’s government is increasingly cracking down on religious worship across the country, but Muslims have been especially targeted.

The crackdown is also economic. Mr Xi has a grand plan in motion to put his country at the economic and political centre of the world.

These ambitions are best summed up by the Belt and Road Initiative, a trillion-dollar project that seeks to connect countries across continents on trade, with China at its centre.

Geographically, Urumqi – the capital of Xinjiang – is a crucial intersection point in the “Belt” part of the project.

It also shares several international borders: Mongolia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

The last thing the Chinese Government wants for such a crucial region in this plan is unrest or the loss of control. And that’s where the intense security crackdown comes in.

This explains why the crackdown escalated around five years ago, in line with the Belt and Road Initiative taking off.

‘MY FAMILY DISAPPEARED’

Ms Abbas has long spoken out against the human rights abuses in Xinjiang – a move that has had disastrous consequences for her family in China.

In September last year, she spoke about the conditions in the camps while seated on a panel hosted by a Washington think tank.

Six days later, her aunt and sister both disappeared at the same time – despite living 1400 kilometres away from each other.

“My sister is a medical doctor. Their ‘vocational training’ shouldn’t apply to her. My aunt is a retired schoolteacher. Both of them went to Chinese school and speak fluent Chinese. They shouldn’t have been targets,” Ms Abbas said.

Even from her home in Virginia, US, Ms Abbas says she feels unsafe. “There’s always that concern. But we all live once and we all die someday. If I only think about my own safety and my own life, who will do the right thing and speak up about this atrocity? If my sister is sitting in some cell block facing torture and abuse, I’m sure she is hoping that I will be doing something to save her and other millions of Uighurs, so I have to keep doing what I’m doing.”

‘MASS EXTERMINATION IS NEXT’

The camps in Xinijang are given various names in the media. Some refer to them as “mass internment camps”. Others call them “surveillance facilities”, “re-education camps” or simply “detention centres”.

But Ms Abbas repeatedly refers to them as “concentration camps” and warns if the Western world doesn’t intervene, the mass detention will turn into mass murder.

“Our children are unable to speak our language and understand our culture,” she said. “They are taken to state-run orphanages and are completely indoctrinated.

“I’m afraid this will turn into mass extermination. There’s nothing better to describe what’s happening in Xinjiang than concentration camps. What are we waiting for? Mass executions and gas chambers before we take action? What is it going to take to have the leaders of world communities – particularly Western democratic countries like Australia – to act? Executions? Is that what it’s going to come down to?”

A WARNING TO AUSTRALIA

The Morrison Government has spoken out against China’s treatment of Uighurs in recent months.

Last month, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he had “directly raised these issues as great human rights abuses and concerns”.

In a speech to the US Studies Centre in October, Foreign Minister Marise Payne warned Australia would not hesitate to call out China’s human rights abuses.

“We must respect each other’s sovereignty but we will consistently continue to raise issues such as human rights, including with China,” Senator Payne said.

Beijing hit back later that week, with Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang saying Senator Payne’s comments showed “total disregard of facts to serve political purposes”.

“Such ill-advised remarks will not help to improve or grow relations with China. We have lodged stern representations to the Australian side and pointed out the inappropriate nature of her conduct,” Mr Geng said.

“We have repeatedly stated that a sound and stable China-Australia relationship serves the fundamental interests of both peoples. We hope the Australian side will learn from recent setbacks in our relations and meet China halfway rather than take one step forward and two steps backward.”

But Ms Abbas says statements like this aren’t sufficient, imploring Canberra to withhold trade with the Chinese Government until it addresses its human rights atrocities.

“The Uighur atrocity should be included in every trade negotiation and every foreign policy decision that Australia has with China,” she said.

“The Chinese Government is not only exterminating the Uighur people and their culture. This is their vision for the world. China is a huge threat to Australia’s national security.

“Pretty soon this is going to become the new normal. People get used to it, like cooking a frog in warm water.

“They’ll say, ‘Oh yeah, it happened in Xinjiang. Then it happened across China. Now it’s happening here in Australia’.”

Look at the response of Pakistanis and Pakistani government, you guys are pure hypocrites. I stand for Uighur people even though I don't care for their brand of religion, just like I stand for minorities being persecuted in Muslim countries. Looks like Pakistanis like to make a lot of noise over some cartoons in some far flung tiny Nordic country of Denmark but right in their neighbourhood their fellow Muslims and their culture, dignity and faith is being wiped out by by their best friend and Iron brother. Its interesting Pakistanis believe this is all just evil West propaganda at them same time they believe anti-West propaganda even whilst living in West and enjoying the freedom.


 
Promotion of inter-ethnic marriages is not rape.
 
The simple fact that the Muslim world is silent on the situation of Uyghurs is a shame on all of us.

Since when are we afraid of these dirty Han communists? Shocked by the lack of resistance and foreign fighters going for Jihad against these subhumans.
 
Pakistani diaspora (mostly millennials) in foreign countries especially in the west are clearly been conditioned by the western propaganda through their multiethnic peers who in turn are trying to spread the 'word' as well as sway opinion back in Pakistan which is actually the number 1 target of said propaganda. Isolation of Paks from China could be the end game of these miscreants. This is a serious situation and could lead to more dangerous results if not dealt with timely.
 
I used to question things like you.
Then I came in contact with Uyghurs who had escaped this tyranny long ago but still have families back in China.

And that was enough to open eyes.

Forcing Muslim women to sleep with Han Chinese men is one thing to throw them away from their religion. Then mass raping any one who refuses in front of her own family is another.
There are plenty of stories if you want to do some research and reach your own conclusions.

Or you can just close your eyes and chant all is good because the Chinese say so or because we don't trust Americans.
Do you know how western ISIS jihadists or jihad brides escaped from their countries and joined ISIS. They made it because they were helped and guided by terrorim organizations. Otherwise they could never do that. Actually it is a very complex procedure. Most of them had to cross several countries and change several different transport methods.
Do you know how these Uyghurs escaped from China? Samely some terrorism or separatism organizations made them out. Of course these organizations only help those who have same political motivation with them. The Uyghurs you met are not ordinary Uyghurs. Their bodies are full of political smell. They would lie to anybody for their political ambition.

Also, it was the CIA and the Pentagon who created ISIS and other terrorist organisations. The worst part is that when low IQ, retarded inbred mullah lullahs go join these terrorist organisations thinking they are doing righteous deeds for Islam. They are in fact slaves of the CIA, Pentagon etc but are too low IQ to realize it.... :lol:

sounds more like western propaganda .


It IS American propaganda. The SAME american propaganda machine which claimed that Iraq had WMD that could destroy Europe in 30 mins. The SAME americans who justified the destruction of Iraq and the mass slaughter of over 3 million Iraqis between 2003 and 2016.
 
In EU there are videos circulating that Chinese men are eating Uighur people.
If it's a fake video, China need to step in and rebut it, if true, this is alarming for the world, as Chinese are every where in the world.

I have seen many refugees from Pakistan who claim they were abused,tortured for being shia,ahmedi,christian etc.
These things dont determine much as we know this is a classic way to achieve a refugee status in the hosting country..

Had there been really a grotesque situation there would have been mass exodus like seen in other world conflicts and Pakistan would have been the most affected party.We did have Uygur refugees come in since 47 however the numbers have literally dropped over time. There were more Uygurs coming into Pakistan at the time of Mao's revolution than ever after.
There is no doubt that there has been a secessionist theme in Uyghur people however even Turkey (a center of Uyghur diaspora) has assured China that they are not against Chinese national integrity.And Erdogan has catered to the Uyghur thing in past for the sake of domestic politics and slowly he is learning it.Recently he said Uyghur people are happy and that Turkey can help China in the restive region..Did he mention about it at UN podium? at KL podium? What about Turkic council? where are they on it.Mahatir recently said similar stuff that we dont thing Uyghur issue is as big as its projected like Rohingya. So there is a slow realization that Uyghur issue is blown out of proportion mostly by the western media.
