The Plight of Uighurs beyond the Great Wall

To remember

• gross + egregious human rights violations in internment camps in Xinjiang, China against Uighur Sufi Islamists > systematic repression Uighur Muslims in China ~~ to root out Islamic extremism and separatism
  
• oppression of minorities
• intolerance towards the religious minorities
• “re-education camps” functioning in Chin => serious violations of human rights by subjecting religious minority to forced labour and forced sterilisation supplemented by constant and intense surveillance.
• systematic repression + political indoctrination => serious international humanitarian laws violation
• global silence and inaction on the matter
• stern actions ought to be taken
• responsibility is on us to fight this evil that is breeding right before our eyes for if not curtailed timely this might find its place in the history as one of the biggest catastrophe upon humanity since the Second World War.
