China Introduces Strict Rules In Xinjiang On Islam, Other Religions
rferl.org
In a move set to tighten government control over practicing religion in China's western Xinjiang Province, the Muslim-majority region will introduce a set of regulations that -- among other things -- will require all new places of worship to reflect "Chinese characteristics and style."
The sweeping legislation will come into force on February 1 as part of a broader multiyear campaign aimed at controlling religion in Xinjiang, which is home to mainly Muslim ethnic groups such as Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and Hui (aka Dungans).

I don't agree with religion but you're talking about "reeducation" like they're not supposed to believe what they want.
Check the post history - dude’s a tankie troll. Don’t waste your time.
Arrests aren't being made against people because they're Muslim, they're arresting people that're suspected terrorists related to The Turkistan Islamic Party. The reeducation is based around not following terrorist groups and rehabilitation of terrorists.
So we should imprison people based on suspicion now? What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
That's an American law. You can't hold Chinese criminals to American laws. I can play this game too. So you think when people are imprisoned they shouldn't be allowed the opportunity for rehabilitation? Just prison forever, huh?
If you think that's the same thing you are beyond delusional.
What's the same? Government sets laws. People break laws. People go to jail for breaking laws. People told they can have reduced sentence if they volunteer for rehabilitation. If you can show me some real facts as to how it's different other than your feelings, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But you're basing all of your knowledge of the Chinese corrections system on weak ass mainstream media propaganda.
Every terrorist is someone's freedom fighter. Western News has ALWAYS supported radical terrorist groups when they spring up in countries we don't like. This isn't rocket science. If there was genocide in Xinjiang it would be hard to contain. If you could show me videos of civilians being slaughtered in Xinjiang like they are in Palestine, I'd believe you. Until I see the footage though, it's all bullshit. Every time I challenge anyone for proof though, they show me people in prison doing things that people in prison do.
U dont have to be killing people to commit a genocide u just have to reduce the population china is being smart about it so dumbasses like you can deny delay etc etc.
Ohh btw juat checking

Boring
No its article 11 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Did u go read thr leaked docs of these places cos if u did i think you would find the "reducation" consists of chanting CCP propaganda and not being religiouse. Which sounds an awfull lot like the extermination of a culture.
Oh, no one follows that, silly. In the US people get wrongly convicted regularly. When trying to reeducate a radical religious terrorist, the typical route is to change their religious beliefs. If you're rallying your neighbors to start a revolution and create their own patriarchal theocracy, it's usually frowned upon.
Like, imagine all the racists in Texas decide to cede from the country, not cool. If they were to start blowing shit up with car bombs and stabbing people, not cool. Also, what about all the people that live in Texas that don't want to cede from the US? Not cool.
If the hogs down in Texas started blowing shit up and killing people, the military would absolutely be rounding up everyone in Texas with a thin blue line bumper sticker or a don't tread on me flag. The prisons would be overflowing with people. This is Xinjiang. Do with this as you like
