Chinese authorities Demolished Mosques and turned them into public toilets, Alcohol Shops
In addition to the internment of Uyghurs, there have been numerous reports of the systematic destruction of mosques across Xinjiang. Several demolished mosques have been replaced with public toilets, bars, and even factories producing alcohol, cigarettes, and other products considered haram (forbidden) in Islam. These actions appear designed to humiliate the Uyghur population and discourage the practice of their faith.
The Chinese government maintains that these measures are part of their efforts to combat extremism and terrorism, though many see it as an assault on religious freedom and ethnic identity. international human rights organizations, along with several governments, have condemned China’s actions, calling for an end to the persecution of Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities.
