Reports Say Schools In Xinjiang Used To Separate Children From Families
CHINA – There were reports that Muslim children are allegedly being separated from their families in a Chinese autonomous region Xinjiang.
Different stands on religion has spurred debates on ideas and opinions in the past. But ultimately, all belief systems promote goodness and kindness towards others as there shouldn’t be prejudices towards other people with different opinions.
In a separate report, a Muslim man helped a Catholic priest who got stranded because of a flat tire.
Meanwhile, in the East Asian country, speculations that Muslim children are being driven away from their families, faith and language have been going around.
And simultaneously, adults are also being kept in huge camps as a fast-developing, large-scale campaign to put up boarding schools is on-going.
Looking at openly available documents backed by a couple of interviews with their families overseas, the news outlet BBC has gotten some comprehensible evidences.
In the records, over 400 children in a single town have been driven away from both parents for some kind of internment – that could possibly be camp or a prison.
Official assessments are also being done to check on the children and see if they need of “centralised care”.
With the alleged efforts to reform the identity of adults in Xinjiang, evidences point to a campaign allegedly initiated to systematically take children away from their origins.
This is based on an article from BBC.
However, in another report from The Guardian, a state media outlet from China made claims that the reports about detentions were ‘fake news’.
The state media outlet maintained that mass detention reports were fake news and they also published a thorough denial of the ‘rumors’.
That is all there is to it, at least for now. We’ll post updates as soon as we got them.
