The 360 | Can the West help end persecution of Chinese Muslims?
As many as a million Muslims in China’s western territory of Xinjiang have been detained in “reeducation” camps designed to force them to assimilate traditional Chinese culture, according to human rights groups and media reports.
A series of leaks in recent months have detailed what advocacy groups describe as an attempt to erase Uighur identity from the region in what some have called a “cultural genocide.” Reports from inside the camps allege human rights violations including torture, rape, sterilization and forcing Uighurs to defy their Muslim faith. Outside the camps, China has been accused of razing thousands of mosques and Uighur cultural sites while instituting a high-tech surveillance state to spy on residents.
Officials from several countries, including the United States, have condemned China’s actions. The local government’s claim that detainees have been released, even if it proves to be untrue, shows that international pressure is working, some argue.
