Government and Civil Society

After reports of the death of a popular Uighur musician, the Turkish government called out China's treatment of Uighurs and other Muslim ethnic minorities.

Uighur Muslims are an ethnic minority in China. The Uighurs are persecuted by the Chinese government, with hundreds of thousands held in detention camps.

A young Uighur mother now in the United States says she was subjected to horrifying conditions in one of China's detention camps for Uighur Muslims.

Speaking at the Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, the daughter of a Uighur scholar described her family's persecution by the Chinese government.
