Uighurs

Uighurs are a Turkic ethnic group primarily living in the Xinjiang region of China. They are predominantly Muslim and have a rich cultural heritage that includes their own language, customs, and traditions. In recent years, Uighurs have faced increased scrutiny and repression from the Chinese government, which claims to be combating extremism. Reports indicate widespread human rights abuses, including mass detentions in so-called "re-education" camps, forced labor, and restrictions on religious practices. This situation has drawn global attention and concern regarding human rights violations and cultural preservation.
