There are about 11 million Uighurs in Western China. ]]> 2019-02-25 19:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335053551 23hp04941 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335053671 Uighurs are being sent to "re-education" camps where hundreds of thousands of Uighurs are being detained. Uighurs are being tortured, sleep deprived, and forced into military discipline at these camps. The government denies everything and the camps are said to be "training" camps. We currently have no idea if any mass slaughters are happening. It also has not been declared a genocide yet. ]]> 2019-02-25 19:25:39 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335053671 23hp04941 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335053712 The Uighur discrimination (the "re-education" centers, the laws, etc.) began in 2009. In 2012, the word "de-extremeification" rose as a way for the Chinese government to justify their actions. Since 2014, things have just gotten progressively worse. As of 2018, the concentration camps have doubled in size since they were first established. This is still going on today and has not been named a genocide.]]> 2019-02-25 19:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335053712 23hp04941 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335053770 This is all currently happening in Xinjiang, China's biggest region. The region used to be referred to as East Turkestan, a term that is no longer used due to it being forbidden to be said.]]> 2019-02-25 19:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335053770 23hp04941 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335053817 China's government believes that religion is a "mental illness" or "backwards superstition." They spread the message that Uighurs must be "diluted" because they are "evil." They also believe that Uighurs are the source of China's problems, and getting rid of them will solve everything. China is also fearful that Uighurs will attempt to create their own homeland in Xinjiang.]]> 2019-02-25 19:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335053817 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335053923 The part of China named XinJiang, originally named East Turkestan, is mostly Muslims and those Muslims call themselves the Uighur's. These Uighur are hated by the Zhang and the rest of the communist party for the only reason of because they are Uighur's. Though the Chinese government doesn't like the Uighur's they are not considered as bipolar societies, like other genocides like the Hutu's and the Tootsies.]]> 2019-02-25 19:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335053923 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335054173 The Chinese government is not calling the Uighurs anything but Muslims and Uighurs. They did however ban certain Muslim names for newborns. Uighurs might be referred to as the "bad people" who are promoting extremism ]]> 2019-02-25 19:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335054173 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335056149 This is one of the most important steps that starts the stripping of human rights. The Chinese government has begun to use law and political power to take away rights of Uighur Muslims in 2017. Some examples of this are when the Chinese banned certain baby names that they thought were "inappropriate." The police also confiscated their phones and took the information on them to use for later purposes. They also confiscated their passports so Uighurs cannot travel abroad, made it illegal for Uighurs to watch state television, and started to promote drinking and smoking. The government prohibited young children from not attending government schools. These are all "new laws" that are stripping their human rights. The Uighurs are considered citizens of China because the government does not want them to travel outside of China. ]]> 2019-02-25 19:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335056149 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335056296 The Chinese government began to dehumanize Uighur Muslims when they introduced what they like to call "reeducation centers," better known as concentration camps. As of November 2018, at least one million Uighurs are being detained in these camps. In these camps, Uighurs are forced to undergo "psychological indoctrination programs," or psychological teachings to change their beliefs. They also must thank the Chinese president Xi Jinping and they must study communist propaganda. In these concentration camps, Chinese authorities use many inhumane ways on torture on Uighurs, such as waterboarding. The Chinese government stripped Uighurs from many of their rights to show how worthless they are in the country's society.]]> 2019-02-25 19:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335056296 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335056621 All genocides are organized. This has not been named a genocide yet, but the Chinese government is still very organized in what they are doing. First of all, the government has increased the surveillance of the minority population. This was mainly brought when Chen Quanguo became the Community Party Secretary of the region. The police have also made a gird management system to monitor all areas of the region. The government then made security checkpoints at train stations where they used facial recognition technology and  Chinese officials have justified these policies as necessary to counter religious radicalization and extremism. They have continually implemented repressive policies to curb religious freedom and authorities have recruited over 90,00 officials over 2016-2017. The government has laid out as many as 7,300 heavily guarder security checkpoints throughout the region. The Chinese have used authorities in every which way possible to keep track of the Uighurs at all times. ]]> 2019-02-25 19:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335056621 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335056817 The Chinese government began to spread hateful propaganda towards the Uighurs with messages such as the Uighurs were enemies of the government and traitors of society. They believed that religion was "backwards superstition" and everyone who believed in religion was "mentally ill". They created and enforced laws that went against the Uighurs religion, Islam, such as forbidding Muslims to fast during Ramadan, an important time in the Muslim community, forcing the Uighurs to eat pork, something forbidden in Islam, and they shaved Uighurs long beards. They also passed laws saying that the Uighurs could not practice their religion. The government did everything they could to make sure the Uighurs were less dominant and used intimidation to persuade others to believe that the government was doing good for the people and the Uighurs were just "mentally unstable." ]]> 2019-02-25 19:31:19 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335056817 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335057251 In China, a communist country, they strive to create stricter laws that are general to the people and not just Muslims themselves. Therefore this Genocide is based on the fact that doing this ethnic cleansing they will create a better country and easier country to run. China also has long feared that Uighur's will attempt to establish their own national homeland in Xinjiang and saying that this is a necessary step in stopping that from happening. The re-education centers where starting to be built in 2014. Since 2014, many more camps have been built. ]]> 2019-02-25 19:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335057251 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335057583 China's plan was to "de-extremify" Uighurs, meaning that they would change them from extremists to non-extremists as the Chinese government believes Uighurs are extremists. They combine hard labor with indoctrination in these "re-education centers." In 2014, these camps began to be dedicated to hard labor rather than indoctrination. Around this time, there were a series of terrorist attacks the Chinese government blamed on Uighur separatists. Their strategy for controlling Uighurs is to keep them in China and to not drive them out. To achieve this, the Chinese government has created many laws against Uighurs taking away many of their rights. China's ultimate goal is to target the cultural practices and the cultural beliefs of Muslim groups.]]> 2019-02-25 19:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335057583 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335057731 We are not aware of extermination because the government is denying that the laws they have made and the actions they are going through with are harming Uighurs.]]> 2019-02-25 19:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335057731 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335057988 The final stage of genocide is denial. The Chinese government continuously makes claims that justify the existence of concentration camps in Xinjiang. For instance, they state that these camps are job related and are training to fight against extremism. Ironically, the Chinese government also claims that Uighurs are being detained in "reeducation centers" due to them being extremists, which contradicts with their other claim about teaching Uighurs how to fight against extremism. The government also claims to be teaching Uighurs useful and valuable skills for combat. Another statement the Chinese government states about why these concentration camps are needed is because they feel it is necessary to detain all Uighur minorities in this camps to get rid of extremism and separatist groups. These camps were supposedly created due to politics and that the condemnation is simply political. The "employment" or "training centers," as these concentration camps are called by Chinese authorities, were originally denied by the Chinese government to exist in Xinjiang, but after being confronted directly by the United Nations, the existence of these camps were confirmed. However, these camps were said to be for assisting and educating minor criminals and that these camps were lawful and harmless. One final thing that the Chinese government did to deny the true reason behind these camps was by justifying all of the harsh policies, including laws and bans, made against Uighurs by claiming that they are necessary to counter religious radicalization and extremism.]]> 2019-02-25 19:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335057988 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335692583 2019-02-27 00:01:35 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335692583 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335692863 2019-02-27 00:03:19 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335692863 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335693165 2019-02-27 00:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335693165 23ct0674 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335694566 2019-02-27 00:13:49 UTC https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335694566 23hp04941 https://padlet.com/23ct0674/wiu2aiwky3rt/wish/335699376 Condemnation: The expression of strong disapproval
