Xinjiang Racial Discrimination Continues: More Than One Million People Are in Various Detention Centers in Xinjiang - This is a crime against humanity
Greetings to my esteemed friends on the InformationWar platform and the entire hive blockchain. It's another day and time to share about crimes against humanity that are committed by the Chinese government. It's your friend @faquan, saying hello from this part of the world.
China’s detention of Uighurs and other mostly Muslim ethnic minorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang may amount to “crimes against humanity”, the United Nations human rights office said in a long-delayed report that was finally published late on Wednesday.
The 45-page report (PDF) called on Beijing to immediately release “all individuals arbitrarily deprived of their liberty”, clarify the whereabouts of those whose families have been unable to locate them and undertake a “full review” of its laws on domestic security and repeal all discriminatory laws.Source
The United Human Rights office have revealed that China have forcefully detained many Muslim minorities that inhabits the Xinjiang region. These detentions have been described as an infringement on their human rights and have been condemned by West.
With the report sent to Beijing by the United Nations Human Rights office declares that the detention is against the Liberty of the citizens and orders the Chinese government release the detained Uighurs.
The government of the United States as well as parliaments in the United Kingdom, Canada and France have since labelled China’s treatment of the Uighurs as “genocide”.Source
Although the reports didn't mentioned the word genocide, but concludes that “serious human rights violations have been committed” in Xinjiang by the Chinese government.
These international crimes equally amounts to crimes against humanity and the Chinese government should be brought to books for the detention.
Beijing at first denied the camps’ existence but later said they were vocational skills training centres necessary to address “extremism” among Uighurs, a predominantly Muslim Turkic people who differ in religion, language, and culture from China’s majority Han ethnic group.Source
It should be noted that efforts have been made for the United Nations Human Rights office to enter into China since 2018, but that finally happened in May this year. Just imagine the level of human rights violations that have been going on for the past 4 years.
It'll be a welcomed development if the Chinese government release the detained Muslim minorities to their various homes.
Thanks!
Grace and peace to you all
