Since then, mosques in regions and provinces outside #Xinjiang have had their domes removed, covered, or replaced with tiled #Chinese-style pagodas. 2/2
In 2018, #China’s State Council issued a classified directive, entitled “Reinforcing and Improving Islam Work in the New Situation,” which ordered the removal of any Arabic features from mosques, among many other restrictions. #xinjiang#EastTurkistan 1/2
In #Xinjiang, Mosques will have to shrink in size when being rebuilt and buildings with “Arabic tendencies” will be banned. Arabic script must also be removed from shopfronts, along with #Chinese characters such as “halal” and “Islamic”. Why is the islamic world silent? @OIC_OCI
#CCPChina documents suggest the authorities will increase their surveillance of residents in #Uyghur Muslim neighbourhoods to “resolve problems” and tighter restrictions on religious and “Arabic” architecture will be imposed. #Chinazi aatack on #Islam.

The world must condemn #CCPChina for this terrible family planning against #Uyghurs Muslims. Continuous repression of #Uyghurs in #Xinjiang reflects that the #Chinese Communist Party has no respect for human life and basic human dignity. @UN @ETAwakening
#China is forcing women to be sterilised or fitted with contraceptive devices in an apparent attempt to limit the population of Muslim #Uyghurs in #Xinjiang#EastTurkistan. @UN_Women must act. @SophieHRW
New research from @ASPI suggests that #China has continued to build new detention centres in #Xinjiang, with a focus on what the thinktank said were high-security "prison-style" facilities. #FreeUyghurs

.@ASPI has identified more than 380 “suspected detention facilities” in the #Xinjiang region, where the United Nations says more than one million #Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim Turkic-speaking residents have been held in recent years. #FreeUyghurs@UN

Communist #China has built massive new high-security prison camps to create a vast and permanent infrastructure for mass detention of #Uyghurs. @UNHumanRights@UNDPPA https://t.co/nfVf0wrmYR
Thousands of items of built heritage – mosques and sacred shrines – have been demolished in the course of #China’s efforts to secure the #Xinjiang region, and the communities surrounding them have been uprooted. #ReligiousFreedom is in danger in China. @USCIRF
#Uyghurs have been suffering for a long time. The worst-hit places during Mao’s Cultural Revolution were #Tibet and #EastTurkistan. After 1989, the #Chinese leadership became more hardline, and control was tightened all over #China. Who will stop China? @UN@SalihHudayar
A #Uyghur man has been arrested after he published a series of videos that went viral criticizing #CCPChina over rights abuses against his family and compatriots in the restive #XUAR where more than a million Uyghurs are locked up in #ConcentrationCamps.
