Popular Front calls on world community to condemn violation of human rights of Uighur Muslims
New Delhi: Popular Front of India on Tuesday urged world leaders, human rights organizations, and world Muslim community to abandon their silence on the injustice and gross human rights violations being committed by the Chinese government against Turkic Muslims and other ethnic minorities in China.
In a press release issued by the organisation it said “Shocking reports have been emerging from China of systematic attempts by the government for ethnic cleansing of Muslim minority communities, especially the Uighur Muslims, from East Turkistan. People are led to live a life that is completely devoid of their liberties. They are sent to concentration camps if they are found to be involved in anything that is remotely religious like greeting Salam, abstaining from alcohol or even speaking their mother tongue.”
“Nearly two million people are reported to be detained in such camps that are reminiscent of Nazi concentration camps. In these camps which Chinese government advertises as ‘Vocational Training Centers’, detainees undergo inhuman torture during the interrogations and are subjected to brutal indoctrination tactics. Information regarding the inmates is not allowed to the media and even to their own family members, and after death, bodies of the inmates are not sent home” the press release added.
Calling on the world leaders including leaders of the neighboring Muslim countries the organisation added that they should not remain silent on the issue. It also added that countries like United States were reluctant to impose sanctions against China in the wake of the gross violation of human rights by the latter.
“It is ironical that Pakistan which is always vocal on issues of fate Muslims in some other countries are maintaining a criminal silence on the issue in order to appease the Chinese government, one of its strategic allies” it added.
The organisation called on world community to condemn the oppression and to call on their respective governments to put pressure on China.
It also questioned the silence on the part of civil liberties movements and political left in India when it comes to the matter of exposing Chinese government.
