To all those world leaders and dignitaries who keep mum about this, I want to say, "don't you also have children?!"

"As hundreds of thousands of Muslims disappear into giant secure facilities." Extraordinary & terrifying. The greatest crime of our age. But why is the Middle East silent? Why do they get angry about Danish cartoons, but not this?!
“I believe the evidence points to what we must call cultural genocide." #Uighurs
"I don't even know whether they're alive"

In #Xinjiang, #Muslim parents put in detention centres and children in boarding schools secured with full-coverage surveillance systems, perimeter alarms & 10,000 Volt electric fences, with some school security spending surpassing that of the camps. #china
In 54 separate interviews, in wave after wave of grief-ridden testimony, parents and grandparents give details of the disappearance in Xinjiang of more than 90 children. They are all #Muslim #Uighurs in #China’s #Xinjiang province
In one town alone more than 400 Muslim children have lost both their parents to either prison or internment camps.
At the same time, thousands are being made to undergo "cultural re-engineering" in giant boarding schools
When will we have the guts to call on China to put an end to this? #Uyghurs
Incredibly important story from China where authorities are "deliberately separating Muslim children from their families, faith and language"
“Xinjiang's education expansion is driven, it appears, by the same ethos as underlies the mass incarceration of adults.”
"Records show that in one township alone more than 400 children have lost not just one but both parents to some form of internment."

Wherever it happens, the separation of children from their parents is a grave evil
The silence on this from people is deafening and the inaction adds a further pain on how broken we feel...
