Turkey demands China close camps for Uighur Muslims

[mustang]

Turkey has called on China to close its detention camps following the reported death of a renowned musician from the ethnic Uighur minority.

Abdurehim Heyit is thought to have been serving an eight-year sentence in the Xinjiang region, where a million Uighurs are reportedly being detained.

A statement from Turkey's foreign ministry said they were being subjected to "torture" in "concentration camps".

China says the facilities are re-education camps.

The Uighurs are a Muslim Turkic-speaking minority based in the north-west Xinjiang region of China, which has come under intense surveillance by Chinese authorities.

Turkey gotta walk a fine line, they're already on bad terms with Russia and America and now messing with another global power.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Unlike so many others Turkey is speaking up despite their multi billion dollar ties with China - wonder how the Chinese react?

 

[Greenstorm]

Imran Khan should do something about it as well.

Imran Khan should do something about it as well.

As an isolated country we can ill afford to have strained relationships with the Chinese, but what's happening to the Uighurs is awful.

 

[PakLFC]

Turkish leader Erdogan has guts.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Turkey itself has torture camps. This was highlited at the UN last year.

Way to go Turkey.

A true muslim country.

Not really, ask Enes Kanter or the Kurds.

 

[WC-Passion]

Bit hypocritical if you ask me. Although what's happening in China is horrifying, Turkey should probably worry about what's happening in their own country.

How ?

 

[shortbread]

Turkish leader Erdogan has guts.

Oh Yes he has, and he is Pakistan's most reliable ally.

When even China and Saudi wilted under US pressure in relation to adding Pakistan to the Global Terrorism-Financing Monitoring List, Turkey stood its ground and refused.

In the 'Muslim' leadership pageant filled with wannabes and clowns, Erdogan is the only one with a spine. Respect!

 

[BlackShadow]

Now that I think of it, I would give China benefit of doubt for these camps. To be honest, this is the only way you can fight religious extremism, and these pre-emptive measures by China will surely help them in long run.

Only if the East India company realised this a century ago, and locked the savages into camps to teach them solidarity! Errrr..... NOT!

 

[Zeeraq]

It's great to see Turkey calling China out on their atrocities.

From the replies in thread doesn't look like.it, China -pakistan relationship seems strings the way everyone pounced on Turkey.

China will laugh it off.

Even US cannot intimidate China. What can Turkey do..

Chinese know what they are doing.

Loool Turkey love to put on a good show for the international audience

A true muslim country.

The Uyghurs are ethnically Turkmen, so naturally Turkey would be concerned.

This!

Pakistanis will naturally care more for Kashmiris whereas Turks will care more for Uiyghurs

 

[Adijazz1706]

Turks and Uighurs have ethnic links so understandable, pity has gone into silent mode

 

[Banter]

Wonder why the Middle-east countries have been so silent on the outright evil actions and suppression of their fellow ummah.

I guess money talks more than religion in the end.

They're not silent anymore - the OIC "commends the efforts of China in providing care to its Muslim citizens."

[Sirris]

Everyone's a hypocrite and self-centered.

 

[Syed1]

Irony just died a thousand deaths when you see how active Indians are on this thread.




I guess they forgot that in their own country Muslims are being lynched just for consuming beef. Or Muslims of Kashmir are being killed by the hundreds every year in state sponsored genocide.

 

[Slog]

Indians are concerned for every Muslim in the world but the ones in their own country. And I’m not even talking about Kashmir here

 

[rhony]

I bet the word 'azadi' is out of curriculum in the reeducation program. India should send a few for some reeducation.

Arsenal star Mesut Özil becomes the most prominent public supporter of the Uyghurs’ cause.

Alot of respect for him and Very brave of him.
He has put a shame on the Muslim leaders around the World.

Theres what a million ugyhurs in these camps, why doesnt turkey offer these people refuge and citizenship, after all they are turkic people.
We in the uk have had to assimilate 5:million europeans due to being in the eu and we are a much smaller country than turkey.
But jan 31 we ger our freedom!

There’s already quite a lot of Uyghurs in Turkey if I’m not wrong.
