Geelani express concern over plight of Muslims in China

Srinagar: Expressing serious concern over the plight of  Muslim in Uighur China, chairman of hardline Hurriyat Conference (HC) said the media reports are not only disturbing but alarming also as thousands of Muslim have been imprisoned and made captive for years together in large camps and godowns.
He said Muslims, who should have been united and acted as one, is fragmented in the name of sects, sub sects and geographical boundaries, making themselves an easy prey and a testing species for the deadly weaponry and artilleries of the anti-Muslim forces.
He said, although international media is almost silent about what is happening in Uighur community of China, but whatever little information, trickles down through social media and a few media houses, is not only disturbing but alarming as well. Thousands of Muslim have been imprisoned and made captive for years together in large camps and godowns and are deprived of any humanely treatment, Geelani alleged.
He said that recent reports of ill-treatment of Muslims in the holy month of Ramadan is heart wrenching. Muslims are forced to eat and drink during the day time at their work places. They are compelled to keep their hotels and eateries open despite their resistance. They are not allowed to perform their religious obligations like Salah and Fasts.
Hurriyat chairman said this is the worst form of majortarian oppression and religious hatred, which is enough to send shock waves down the spine of every conscious human.
Geelani appealed the world bodies especially United Nation and OIC to take these disturbing reports from Uighur China very seriously and rescue this helpless minority of Muslims.
He appealed to government, its opposition and people of Pakistan to use its good offices of the “Pak-China friendship” to help their brethren out of this suffocating situation.
