The Uyghur's are a sect of the Muslim faith that is currently under attack by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

# data[].attributes.body
Uyghur Muslims currently live in the Northwestern region of China known as the province of Xinjiang. This area has also been called Turkestan.

# data[].attributes.body
Nearly identical to the Muslim faith, Uyghur's worship through prayer, fasting, religious celebrations and eating within Halal, or the non eating of unclean food, alcohol or pork.

# data[].attributes.body
As of May 1st there are over 3 million Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps in Xinjiang Province in China.

Uyghur's are currently facing the largest mass detention since the holocaust. Not only are they being tortured and killed and are being forced to do manual labor for the CCP. The Chinese government is trying to erase their religion from the face of the planet.

# data[].attributes.body
During their internment they have been forced to break nearly all religious rules. The Uyghur's currently in detention are forbidden from using the Uyghur language. They are forced to break halal. They are not allowed to hold religious celebrations, nor marry in a mosque within religious code.

Are these camps only reforming religious beliefs?

Are these camps only reforming religious beliefs?

# data[].attributes.body
No! Escaped prisoners from inside these camps explain that not only are they being forced to give up their religion, they are experiencing extreme mental and physical abuse by prisoner guards. No organization has any idea of the amount of people who have been killed. There have even been reports that women inside the camps are forced to take birth control to prevent child birth.

In the 1990's voices for Uyghur separation from China grew strong. Uyghur's wanted their own territory where they were not under attack by a major world government. A few violent protests broke out here and there for the next decade.

It wasn't until July 5th, 2009 when violence again arose, this time killing 200 people in a violent brawl between student activists and police. The Uyghur's were blamed for this and the Chinese government began making preparations to destroy this religion.

In 2017 the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping came out with a statement saying all religions in China must be Chinese oriented. This furthered the drive for the eradication of Uyghur Muslims in China and allowed for the building of re-education camps.

# data[].attributes.body
Currently over 3 million Uyghur's are being held in concentration camps away from society, away from their homes and little to no contact with relatives inside or out of the camps. This is the Chinese communist party hyper-segregating the Uyghur's to remove them completely from society.

# data[].attributes.body
Through the forced re-education, the forced breaking of religious rules such as halal and the ban on the Uyghur language are all extreme warning signs that the Uyghurs are facing a mass ethnic-cleansing.

Similar to the Native American's, The uyghurs are being forced to appear and act a certain way by a government. The Chinese government says the goal of this camp is to "graduate" Uyghurs back into society. Is this not terrifyingly similar to Native American Boarding Schools?

The United Nations has called for the immediate release of all Uyghur Muslims illegally detained in camps.

# data[].attributes.body
The United States has sanctioned some of the Chinese leaders with the poorest human rights records, put economic sanctions on the countries exports and imports. As well as classified what is happening to the Uyghur's as a Genocide.

# data[].attributes.body
There are around a half dozen other countries who have also made statements condemning the Chinese Communist party for their terrible human rights abuses.

# data[].attributes.body
Sadly, no. The Chinese government is a major world power that likes to play by its own rules. They have taken tit for tat retaliations for sanctions from other countries such as the United States. They have prevented access from UN investigators to see the camps. Furthermore none of those being held in detention have been released. As well as continued to build more concentrations camps in it's norther territories.

# data[].attributes.body
Possibly. This is because in world politics actions always speak louder than words and the CCP has never been one to care for the words of the Western World. No major breakthroughs or mass release with happen unless the Chinese Communist Party is sanction or punished in way that party officials are heavily restricted in their own daily lives.
