Congressional Testimony on China's Repression of Uighurs
Officials of Human Rights Watch testified yesterday before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus on the little-known repression of the mostly Muslim Uighurs in the Chinese Region of Xinjiang. China is particularly focusing on reforming the thinking of Imams and preventing students from receiving education in religion or practicing Islam. The testimony summarizes a longer report that was issued by Human Rights Watch on April 12.
