Beginning in the 1930s, Jewish people in Germany were sent by force to concentration camps. In the 1940s, Japanese people in America were sent, again by force, to concentration camps.
It’s 2019. And what’s happening in this age of modern thinking, social progress, and global reform? Muslim people in China are being sent — you guessed it — by force to concentration camps.
China calls its actions humane and refers to the Muslims in question, of Uighur identity, as “students” placed in a “de-extremifying” vocational school likened to a retreat or resort. Reports of those who have made it out, however, paint a starkly different picture. Rumors of forcing inmates to recite Chinese propaganda sayings for hours, eat pork and drink wine (which go against Muslim beliefs), and undergo torture have been circulating the worldwide political stage. Reportedly over 1 million Uighur people have been detained, and China shows no signs of stopping.
While this is certainly horrifying, the lack of Western media coverage on this topic is, too. It’s 2019, Muslims in China are being sent by force to concentration camps — and the American public doesn’t even know.
