Muslims all around the world
Even the Muslim population all around the over is in billions,
they are still a minority community group in few countries. Like, the Rohingya
Muslims, Kashmir Muslims have been facing gruesome, ghastly unjust continuously.
The Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic minority group in Rakhine, are
considered among the most persecuted, vulnerable, and oppressed minorities in
the world. Recently, the persecution on the Rohingya Muslims has increased due
to Buddhist nationalism in Myanmar. The Rohingya continue to suffer from
several forms of restrictions and human rights violations in Myanmar due to
them being denied Myanmar citizenship. They are victims of various forms of
oppression, such as arbitrary taxation, land confiscation, destruction of
mosques, torture and ill-treatment, extrajudicial executions, restrictions on
movements, forced eviction and house destruction, forced laborers on roads and
at military camps, and financial restrictions on marriage. Since the 1970s, a
number of crackdowns on the Rohingya in Rakhine have forced them to flee to
neighboring countries. More than one million Rohingyas have migrated to refugee
camps in the Bangladeshi district of Cox’s Bazar.
The Chinese government has reportedly detained more than a
million Muslims in reeducation camps. Most of the people who have been
arbitrarily detained are Uighur, a predominantly Turkic-speaking ethnic group
primarily from China’s northwestern region of Xinjiang. Some eight hundred
thousand to two million Uighurs and other Muslims, including ethnic Kazakhs and
Uzbeks, have been detained since April 2017. Outside of the camps, the eleven
million Uighurs living in Xinjiang have continued to suffer from a decades-long
crackdown by Chinese authorities.
Most people in the camps have never been charged with crimes
and have no legal avenues to challenge their detentions. The detainees seem to
have been targeted for a variety of reasons, according to media reports,
including traveling to or contacting people from any of the twenty-six
countries China considers sensitive, such as Turkey and Afghanistan; attending
services at mosques; having more than three children; and sending texts
containing Quranic verses. Often, their only crime is being Muslim, human
rights groups say, adding that many Uighurs have been labeled as extremists
simply for practicing their religion. In March 2017, Xinjiang’s government passed an
anti-extremism law that prohibited people from growing long beards and wearing
veils in public. It also officially recognized the use of training centers to
eliminate extremism. The Chinese government has come to characterize any
expression of Islam in Xinjiang as extremist, a reaction to past independence
movements and occasional outbursts of violence.
