On Saturday the United Nations was appraised that as many as one million Uighur Muslims have been detained in the camps for re-education purposes by the communist government.

The most awful report in the present time on e can say was presented by the anti-discrimination committee with some credible evidences. What the report further mentions have chilling details about the plight of these Muslims living in Xinjiang province.

This is not the first time such reports have been coming from the province where the Chinese communist party seems to be in an all out war with Muslim population.

It has dramatically curtailed the religious liberty of Muslims in its country and the Uighurs are the worst victims. In China practicing religions is totally banned banned and the Muslim are bearing its brunt.

Following the report, the Gay McDougall stated that her team members were “deeply concerned” about reported detentions of ethnic Uighurs and other Muslim minorities, which have “turned the [Xinjiang] Uighur Autonomous Region into something that resembles a massive internment camp that is shrouded in secrecy – a sort of ‘no rights zone’,”

She made comments in the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination started reviewing China’s record over recent years in the Swiss city of Geneva.

According to her the two more million people Muslims have been forced into so-called re-education camps for political and cultural indoctrination.

In the meeting fifty member delegations from China, however, maintained complete silence over the allegations. They had no official response to it.

Fatima-Binta Dah, questioned over the atrocities committed upon the Muslims in the country and asked China to explain its position that what sort of religious freedom is available to Uighurs  and  what legal protection exists for them to practice their religion?

Earlier in 2017, the HRW had similar accused the country of increasing restrictions on fundamental human rights and pervasive ethnic and religious discrimination.

The reports in the media emanating from the region are disheartening that how the Muslims are forced to eat pork or forcibly hoist the national flag on their mosques.

Even the Muslim are compelled to wear half dresses or are banned to travel in public transport under veil. The beard under Islamic rule invokes punhiment.

Even their social lives are not spared and the communist government has installed the spyware into their phones and have raised concertina around their habitations to track their activities outside and inside their homes, the worst form of human rights violations.

Meanwhile, these reports although brings disrepute the Asian giant internationally, however, it doesn’t compel the President Xi Jinping to reconsider its tough policy towards the minorities. It continues to rein over the Muslim countries of the world and recently Recep Tayyip Erdogan- Turkey President decided to establish the economic ties with China. Pakistan and some other Middle East countries are already close to China and have strong economic ties.

But none of the countries speak against the atrocities of minorities. The Ughurs can’t even protest against the communist government and China’s track record of past dealing with such democratic exercises is awful.

On 1989 Chinese troops fired upon the protesters at Beijing’s Tiananmen Square as many as 10, 454 people were killed although later government claimed that only 180 protesters died.

In China public prostates are banned so it is evidently becoming a duty of Muslim countries to raise the voice for Uighurs and urge China to modify its policy.

The selective condemnation of incidents would not achieve the tangible results and would not ensure the property of Muslim world which is going through the tough times.    Plight   Plight   Plight   Plight
