BEIJING (AP) — Members of the Uighur Muslim ethnic group held demonstrations in cities around the world to protest a sweeping Chinese surveillance and security campaign that has sent thousands of their people into detention and political indoctrination centers.

Overseas Uighur activists said they planned demonstrations Thursday in 14 countries in total, including the U.S., Australia and Turkey.

More than a hundred Uighur protesters gathered at a plaza near the United Nations in New York to call on the body to protect their culture against Chinese government efforts to assimilate the Turkic-speaking people. Elsewhere, hundreds of Uighur women on Istanbul’s Istiklal Street and in front of Sydney Town Hall chanted and waved blue flags, the separatist symbol for a proposed independent state called East Turkistan.

  1. Please dont erase my comment. Thank you.

    Most Muslim around the world who live in non majority Islam from China, Rohingya, to Europe countries and USA
    are facing threat or fear. What is the problem?

    Most Muslim want to impose Syariah law in public like: in school, Hijab, Bank, Grocery, Restaurant, pray on the street and loudspeaker of Mosque.

    Progressive Muslim reject such Syariah law—because Islsmmus a peaceful religion, flexible religion, not impose difficulties on Muslim at all.

    Only extremist clerics impose difficulties on Muslim.
    They are the root of problem in the West countries and China and Rohingya

    This is my opinion

    • “Most Muslim want to impose Syariah law in public” …

      Sorry, rubbish. Extremists are in the low ONE percent. Somi is looking at the world in colored eyes.

    • Somi have you ever seen one Muslim extremist with your own eyes?
      How you can judge whether he or she really a Muslim? As I am a Muslim I never learn such a extreme behavior from my beautiful religion. They dress like Muslims, it doesn’t mean they are Muslims, and one more important thing, do you know how many trusted media in the world?

  2. Rafiq— ONE percent of 1.5 mlyd is equal 15 ml extremist Muslim. How to defeat 15 million extremist on earth?

    My math say that more that
    Hamas = 2 mlln
    Iran = 20 mlli
    saudi=10 mll
    Yamen = 10 mll
    Hesbullah=3 mll
    Sudan, somali, Pakistan Iraq.Syria , afghanistan etc woow

    I quest arond 50 million Extremist Muslim on earth
    Do not underestimate the extremist Muslim!
    Ahmadiyyah and anti extremist have to work togather tiredlessly. We have to defeat the syariah law or islamic intolerant ideology.

    • And one more thing, for Uyghurs we are fighting for our freedom. Which country are you from? If Nazi style one nation occupied your country and kill your brother and rape your sister, you fight back and people call you terrorist, will you agree?

      • China Government know very well the goal of freedom of Nuslim want to create SYARIAH LAW OR Islamic states. And then the extremist control the state, the extremist discriminate against non Muslim. That is the problem, a big problem.

        If you are a good Muslim you have to obey the existing authority.
        If some one rape your daughter or family — tell to police and let police do their job. That is right way as goid citizen.
        Do not follow the extremist leader or clerics, they will deceive you and bring on you disaster and disgrace.

        Be good citizen and good Muslim, God will bless you.

      • According to my information Chinese Muslims used to be quiet liberal. Chinese action may make them more extreme possibly. Yes, good Muslims should obey authorities. Ahmadis always do.

  4. Rafiq— i believe that Iskamophobia do not hate Peaceful Muslim like Ahmadiyyah, Sufi and Progressive Muslim.
    Islamophobia hate and hostile toward the extremist Muslim vice versa.

    Our enemy is the extremist Muslim who persecute and kill innocent Ahmadiyya. Sufi and Christian in Pakistan , other countries.

    That is the true fact Rafiq.

    • Islamophobes are uneducated. Recall the one who shot at an Ahmadiyya Mosque? The Ahmadis invited him for tea and cake and explained the wonderful teachings of Islam and now he is a good friend of the Jama’at.
