Pressure on China to free the millions of Muslims in their concentration camps
Rejected

What the petition asks
Right now, China's detained over a million Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims into concentration camps. They are forced to denounce Islam, take up atheism and pledge allegiance to the Chinese State. People can be sent to the camp for random reasons.
Most towns and villages in East Turkestan are almost empty. Around 70-80% of the civilians are gone. East Turkestan is really rich in minerals and resources, so by putting people in camps. They’re basically carrying out an ethnic cleansing. The reason why the world is silent on the issue is because China tightly controls it’s media, so a lot of what’s happening can’t be revealed to the outside world.
