TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- Netizens have become outraged over a video posted on the Uyghur dissident Facebook group Talk to East Turkestan on Saturday (May 26), which the group claims to show a forced wedding between a Chinese man and a Uyghur woman as part of China's program to assimilate and pacify the ethic minority population in Xinjiang.
In the video, a host of a wedding party appears to ask the Chinese groom how long he has known the bride, and he replies "two months." Instead of being happy, the Uyghur woman has a sad look on her face, as if she is being coerced into the wedding.
The person who uploaded the video indicated that it was an example of forced marriages between Han Chinese men and Uyghur women that the Chinese government is implementing to assimilate the ethnic minority group in Xinjiang Province.
"After locking up all the Uyghur males in concentration camps, China is forcing Uyghur women to marry Chinese men. A genocide is taking place in the open yet the international community including Turkic and Muslim countries continue to ignore the cries of their Uyghur Muslim brothers and sisters."

Netizens reacted angrily on Facebook to the post:
"How can we allow the world's largest genocide to happen?"
"I think this is a very unhappy wedding."
"Where is the international organization for the protection of women's rights? How can they remain silent?"
"This is truly disgusting."
"Ironically, the German chancellor also visited China to talk about human rights."
"Even if this happened, many international human rights organizations have not taken action."
In another post dated May 27, the dissident group uploaded the image below which states that Uyghur families are forced into having their daughters marry Chinese men, while the Uyghur men are locked up in "concentration camps."
