Re: One million Uighur Muslims held by Chinese Government
Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic front) is calling on the Prime Minister Dr. Keith Christopher Rowley to stand up for justice and fairness and for the rights of the Uighur Muslims of China. We are calling on the Prime Minister to make a clear statement and speak out against the many atrocities inflicted on these persons. We are calling on this Rowley led administration to reject the policies of this far Eastern country that is working counter to peace. We demand this government to call on the international community now to stop China from striping Uighur Muslims of their language and culture.
This Heartbreaking human rights violation that is taking place in China, must stop.
According to the UN, around one million Muslims in the Xinjiang region have been rounded up and held in so-called "re-education" centres - camps the Uighurs claim are intended to replace the next generation's Uighur identity with a Chinese one. They’re forced to endure severe political indoctrination and other awful abuses.
This injustice has been going on for far to long. We as being part of the international community must raise our voice and help these victims of unfair practices.
We demand that Prime Minister Keith Rowley on our behalf; the Muslims of Trinidad and Tobago, call on China to show evidence they are not, under the pretext of counter terrorism and religious extremism, holding Uighur Muslims at 're-education' camps.
We further demand the Government withdraw all obligations it holds to Chinese citizens here until our demands are met.
We call on the government to lobby other governments to declare that China is a liability so long as it continues to strip Uighur Muslims of their language and culture. This clearly is a severe human rights violation at the hands of the Chinese government.
We call on the government to urge the international community, they must demand that the Chinese government immediately repatriate all Uighur Muslims back to their homes and to allow the Uighur’s their rights.
If this is not done we will hold the government of Trinidad and Tobago guilty of, dereliction of duty and partly responsible for this crime. The instruments of our government has failed us and continue to fail us time and time again. We are not prepared to allow this to continue and so should not, the rest of the people.
