Uighur man dead due to diseases | china confirms |

The Chinese government has now admitted to the death of a Uighur man whose family believed that he was held in a Xinjiang internment camp since the year 2017. 

the government has now confirmed the death formally to the united nations Abdul Gafur Hapis's disappearance was registered with the working group in April of 2019 but the Chinese government did not respond to formal inquiries until this month. 

According to the reports by the guardian when it did not respond or that is when it did respond it told the group that the retired driver from Kashgar had died almost two years ago of severe pneumonia and tuberculosis while his daughter has disputed the suggestion that he died of pneumonia and tuberculosis in 2018. the formal acknowledgment of his death is significant for the Uighur community in Xinjiang not only is it an extraordinarily rare response from the Chinese government. it also raises the hope of a potential legal recourse. 

china began persecuting Uighur Muslims way back in 2014 details of these detention camps that are masquerading as vocational training centers have come out in the last few years. 

currently, more than one million Uighurs are believed to have been detained in these camps and this is seen as one of the biggest crackdowns on ethnic minorities in the world.


The Chinese communist party has repeatedly refused the request, any kind of request by international bodies despite global critique to independently visit and investigate the region.
