In August 2018 a UN committee heard that up to 1 million Muslims are being detained to concentration camps. They are being forced to renounce and criticise their faith and pledge atheism, they are being forced to learn and only speak Mandarin, Chinese. Former prisoners told of physical as well as psychological torture in the camps. Entire families had disappeared, and we were told detainees were tortured physically and mentally. Individuals are being cremated after death so the that the Chinese government can hide evidence of missing people. There is evidence of almost a complete surveillance state in Xinjiang. And the Chinese government have said nothing on this whilst they intend to keep it hidden under their powerful government, and yet no other government has intervened. What we can do is raise awareness. Join together to March for freedom.
