“Fajr passed by as i dreamt on
Dhuhr was lost in a day’s work
Asr got skipped as i sipped my tea
Maghrib flew by as I photographed the sunset
Ishaā was added to the forgotten list.”
& Now here I lay, tossing and turning on my bed, wondering why peace escapes me ?
Today, I am announcing visa restrictions on Chinese government and Communist Party officials believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, the detention or abuse of Uighurs, Kazakhs, or other Muslim minority groups in Xinjiang.
China has forcibly detained over one million Muslims in a brutal, systematic campaign to erase religion and culture in Xinjiang. China must end its draconian surveillance and repression, release all those arbitrarily detained, and cease its coercion of Chinese Muslims abroad.
