160 UYGHUR KIDS JAILED IN CHINA
After the recent resistant attack of the Uyghur
freedom fighters, Chinese government intensified
its heavy pressure in the region. Large scale of
“cleaning up” campaign launched again to continue
mass arrest in East Turkistan. 160 uyghur kids
between age 8 to 14 were arrested in this month in
inland China. These kids were send to inland China
Hui ( tungan) Muslim schools to study Kur’an by
their parents, since Chinese government ban all
religious study in East Turkistan.
According to our sources, only 10 of these kids
were released after parents paid 20,000 Yuan heavy
fine for each of them. 150 kids were returned to
east Turkistan and jailed in Bajahu prison in
Urumchi in present.
Police forces said that those kids will be held in
jail until the age of 16 in order to be charged
with illegal religious studies.
“Religious study of Hui Muslim is not banned in
China, since they don’t have political problems
and they are very similar with Han Chinese except
Islamic religion. So some Uyghur parents try to
send their kids to schools of Hui Muslims to
educate them with Islamic religion” said Mehbube
who do not want to disclose her real name over the
phone conversation.
Since the beginning of the 1990s, the Chinese
government focused on tightening the control and
restrictions on religious freedom in East
Turkestan including ban and close religious
schools opened by Uyghurs and arrest of teachers
and students
