What's going on in China?

Updated: Jan 11, 2021

In this Article, Mydi Amr explains and bring awareness to the Uighur genocide happening in China, and how you can help.


The Uighur genocide in China is a huge problem that has been happening for the past 3+ years with little to no media coverage. The Chinese government has been using concentration camps against the Uighur Muslims since around 2017, yet no one has done anything about it. According to detainees who manage to escape, they’re being forced to renounce their religion, and do things their religion prohibits such as eating pork and drinking alcohol, raped, tortured, murdered and the women are forced to get pregnant then abort, and are going through forced sterilization and much more. The number of people in these camps has been estimated to be around 1 million to 3 million, but it is possible that the number may be way higher. It is approximated that there are at least 260 of these camps spread all around Xinjiang. It has also been reported that they are using brainwashing tactics on the detainees including but not limited to, shocking them and forcing them to believe their beliefs are wrong, that they can’t survive without the Chinese Government.

As of right now, there’s not much anyone can do except donate to trusted organizations, put pressure on your government officials to speak out on this, and most importantly, don’t stay silent! Linked below is a Google Document containing an email draft to urge your government officials to speak out as well as how to contact them.
