Muslims make up about .45% - 2.85% of Chinas population.
There are about 12 million Uighurs, mostly Muslim, living in north-western China in the region of Xinjiang, officially known as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR).
There are about 12 million Uyghurs, mostly of Muslim faith, living in north-western China in the region of Xinjiang. The Uyghurs speak their own language, similar to Turkish, and see themselves as culturally and ethnically close to Central Asian nations. Recent decades saw a mass migration of Han Chinese (China's ethnic majority) to Xinjiang, and the vast majority of Uyghurs feel their culture and livelihoods are under threat.
Anti-Han and separatist sentiment rose in Xinjiang from the 1990s, flaring into violence on occasion. In 2009 some 200 people died in clashes in Xinjiang, which the Chinese blamed on Uighurs who want their own state. But in recent years a massive security crackdown has crushed dissent.
Several groups like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International believe China has detained more than a million ethnic Uyghur Muslims over the past few years in what the Chinese state defines as "re-education camps". There is evidence of Uyghurs being used as forced labour and of women being forcibly sterilised. Evidence suggests that China is actively undermining Uyghur Muslim traditions in Xinjiang. The United States is among several countries to have accused China of committing mass genocide and crimes against humanity through its repression of the Uyghurs. However, China denies such allegations, saying it continues to combat separatist elements and Islamist militancy in the region.
Xinjiang is now covered by a pervasive network of surveillance, including police, checkpoints, and cameras that scan everything from number plates to individual faces. According to Human Rights Watch, police are also using a mobile app to monitor peoples' behaviour, such as how much electricity they are using and how often they use their front door.
Mosque Fund is committed to fostering awareness of Islam and of Muslim communities all over the world. We firmly believe in justice for marginalized communities and people living under oppressive conditions. Your support will be transferred to organizations that advocate justice and accountability for the plight of the Uyghurs.
