Beijing, however, has vehemently denied that it’s engaged in human rights abuses towards the Uyghurs in Xinjiang whereas stories from journalists, NGOs and former detainees have surfaced, highlighting the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal crackdown on the ethnic neighborhood, based on a report.

Recently, a fee of the United States Congress, in a brand new report, mentioned that China has presumably carried out “genocide” towards Uyghurs and different minority Muslims in its western area of Xinjiang,
