Right now more than two million Uighur Muslims are in Chinese concentration camps. Men are taken to the camps, their children to orphanages and women are forced to live with Chinese men. No Prayer
Praying is forbidden, so Uighur Muslims are forced to pray secretly while sitting in a chair or while in the toilet.
No Fasting
Fasting in Ramadan, which forms an essential part of Muslim faith, is forbidden for East Turkestan’s Uighur Muslims.
No Salam
Even the simple act of greeting one another by saying “Salam” (meaning Peace) is forbidden in order to wipe out Uighur Muslim identity.
No Wedding
Uighurs cannot have Islamic weddings at home. The Chinese reward whistleblowers up to US$ 7500 for reporting them.
No Eid Celebrations
Eid, which is an important occasion for Muslims (similar to Christmas), is banned and festivities are not allowed.
No Uighur Language
Uighur language education is banned and Uighur or Islamic literature, if found, is confiscated by officials.
No Mosques
Mosques are heavily monitored. There are no Imams (leaders) left because they are all detained in camps. Over 70% of the Mosques in Kashgar have been demolished.
No Muhammad
Parents are forbidden from giving their children common Islamic names, deemed ‘extremist’ by the State. Failure to comply can restrict the child’s access to education & healthcare.
No Halal Food
Halal food or food bearing the Halal mark is banned in Uighur areas. One must explain why he/she is not eating pork and Uighur owned shops must stock alcohol and pork.
We, the undersigned, call on the UN and others to eliminate this animal behave & action. WE ARE HUMAN, WE CARE FOR HUMAN!
