The persecution of Uyghurs in China involves many human rights violations in Xinjiang that are hurting Uyghurs. This is being done by the Chinese government.

It is estimated[by whom?] that there are more than a million Uyghurs being persecuted.[source?] Some governments and human rights NGOs (organisations that aren't governments) call the repression against Uyghurs a genocide (destroying a group of people).[1][2][3][4] Not everybody agrees that the repression is a genocide though.[5][6][7]

Methods

The Uyghurs:

Thousands of mosques are being destroyed and damaged. Hundreds of thousands of children are being sent to boarding schools.[source?]
