China responsible for ‘serious human rights violations’ in Xinjiang province: UN human rights report
A long-awaited report by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) into what China refers to as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) has concluded that “serious human rights violations” against the Uyghur and “other predominantly Muslim communities” have been committed.
I have come across many Muslim haters in both the real world and the virtual world, and they probably couldn't care less about how badly Muslims have been treated in Xinjiang.
What irritates me is that those same people say they support human/equal rights. A bunch of hypocrites.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I hate all dogmatic or cultist religions. All includes Islam, which commits horrendous human rights violations whenever it gains power (look any any M.E. nation). While I'm very big on all nations following egalitarian human rights' laws I don't know how to eliminate religion from a society. But I know it's important to do so or that society can't survive. This is the current problem in America. If that's true then I have to question the brutality of what China is trying to do. China is a young society, in an old nation, so they might figure out how to mitigate the brutality over time but I support the goal. Religion is poison.

Like it or not, human rights are for everyone regardless of their background including religious belief. I hope you are not suggesting that believers deserve fewer human rights than non-believers, mate.
@Ryo1 @rainmanjr Do religious believers deserve fewer human rights than non-believers? Given the likelihood of violence in the name of religion, and how the delusional state of these people blocks their reasoning, a strong argument may be made. Iceland considers belief to be a form of mental illness, and many people would consider institutionalization of the mentally ill to be a charitable act. Ideally, believers should be re-educated and deprogrammed. As inculcating religion is child abuse, removing the child is a foreseeable remedy.
The truth is that the Christian racists in the US have designed laws to imprison those with differing views, and to leave them in prison indefinitely, subject to whatever tortures the prison system allows.
The US is currently at major risk of being overcome by fascism at the hands of white Christian Nationalists, led by the SUPREME COURT!!! Given the danger posed by this psychotic minority, I'm strongly inclined to give China a complete pass (not that anyone has any leverage anyway).
In the specific case of China, torturing people achieves nothing, but that is what frequently develops in prison systems. Our own prison systems currently have many reports of abuse, and a report on our prison systems would likely be much worse that what was reported about China.
China's Communist Party functions as a political religion with ruthless totalitarianism as standard. While they may have amazing wealth, that condition puts them entirely on par with Saudi Arabia, and the US.

@racocn8 I hear you. But, I reiterate (and it's not my personal view) that human rights are for everyone, like it or not. They are the basic rights that belong to every single human in the world from birth to death, regardless of where you are from, what you are, who you are, what you believe, how you choose to live your life, etc. No human has the right to take thosee basic rights away from another human.
