Kemal Erg\u00fcn, chairman of the Islamic Association of Mill\u00ee G\u00f6r\u00fc\u015f (IGMG) has called on the International Community to stop China\u2019s genocidal policy towards the Uyghur people which could \u201cno longer be denied\u201d. Erg\u00fcn gave his statement in the wake of new reports which reinforce the suspicion of systematic large-scale human rights violations committed by the Chinese government against the Muslim minority. <\/p>\n
\u201cNewest revelations prove the massive human rights violations against the Uyghur people in China. Observers on the ground are sure that the government is committing a genocide. Victims\u2019 testimonies of torture, physical and mental abuse as well as rapes in the camps are unbearable\u201d, said Erg\u00fcn. <\/p>\n
Regarding the forthcoming 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, Erg\u00fcn urged the International Community and the International Olympic Committee, to put pressure on China to end the inhuman acts against the Muslim Minority. \u201cEveryone, who remains inactive despite the overwhelming facts, is complicit in those crimes.\u201d The IGMG\u2019s chairman voiced his support for the call for boycott the Winter Olympics launched by 180 human rights groups. <\/p>\n
According to human rights organizations, at least one million Uyghurs and other Muslims are currently detained in camps in the northwestern province of Xinjiang. They are forced to abandon their religion, culture, and language. Anyone who resists will either be tortured or murdered. Victims also tell of arbitrary human rights violations.<\/p>\n
