Details
China is committing genocide in Xinjiang. Twelve million people, the majority of whom are Uyghur Muslims, live in Xinjiang, China. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is intent on colonizing Xinjiang and replacing Uyghur Islam with Han Chinese communism. Millions of Han Chinese have been resettled in Xinjiang since the early 1990s. The CCP has held millions of Uyghurs in huge "reeducation" prisons. Han Chinese monitors are forcibly placed in Uyghur families. These assimilationist policies are designed to stop independence movements by Uyghurs. Chinese officials claim the program is to defeat "terrorism." China has committed every act of genocide listed in the Genocide Convention.
