A Muslim Boycott of China Can End Muslim Concentration Camps

……. Today, upwards of three million Muslims are being held against their will in a network of concentration camps simply because the China’s ruling Communist Party (CCP) deems the indigenous population of Xinjiang — ethnic Uyghur — to be a potential threat to its “One Belt, One Road” economic strategy, one that aims to provide Beijing greater access to the Middle East and Europe via exerting its influence and dominance over central Asia.....

….. So what can the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims do to pressure China into ceasing its grotesque persecution of Uyghur Muslims given their political leaders refuse to offer a solitary word of condemnation?

Well, in the same way a large number of Muslims already support the BDS campaign as a form or non-violent protest against Israel’s violation of Palestinian human rights and international law, they and others around the world can also support an economic and cultural boycott of China...…  namely the telecommunications giant Huawei, which posted a record US$8.8 billion profit last year; alongside electronics manufacturers OPPO and Vivo, which represent 5 percent and 4 percent of global Smartphone sales, respectively, together pulling in US$2 billion annually…… Other top revenue earning Chinese owned export brands include Lenovo, Cheetah Mobile, Haier, ZTE, Anker, among others, while commercial airline carriers Air China and China Eastern...… including global brands such as Kraft Heinz Co., Addidas AG, Gap Inc., Volkswagen, Hennes & Maurtiz AB.

…. While we all have a collective responsibility to respond to China’s grotesque violations of human rights against the Uyghur, an effective boycott campaign that’s lead by Muslims across the globe has the power to make all the difference.

….. Amat is Uighur. A Muslim ethnic-minority group in China, Uighurs have been the target of a major crackdown by the government in Beijing. A United Nations human rights panel says this has led to up to a million people being imprisoned, in what the Chinese call "reeducation centres"...…
…… Al Jazeera spoke to more than a dozen former detainees. Many confirm they either witnessed or were themselves tortured and abused in these centres.  

…. "They want to delete Uighur. They want Uighurs to believe the Chinese Communist Party is God," Ayup says.

After being released, Ayup says he feared he would be locked up again, so he fled with his family to Turkey. Uighurs share a long history with the country and thousands have settled there in the last decade.

In Istanbul, Ayup has been documenting the stories of Uighur detainees….
