East Turkestan: Chinese Separation Policy is Ripping Apart Uyghur Children and Parents



An advanced system is set in place to weaken cultural and family ties and even forcibly separate Uyghur children from their parents. Recent reports have shown that as many as one million Uyghurs are held in “re-educations” camps.  A new report reveals that the children of the incarcerated are placed in de facto orphanages – even when grandparents plead to take care of them.  In these institutions, children undergo brainwashing, are taught to hate their parents and love the Chinese Communist Party.  Other activities include disallowing children to visit family members abroad, as well as making children spy on their parents by incitement from their school teachers. ...
In December 2017, Xinjiang authorities mobilized more than a million cadres to spend a week living in homes primarily in the countryside. … In early 2018 Xinjiang authorities extended this “home stay” program.  Cadres spend at least five days every two months in the families’ homes. There is no evidence to suggest that families can refuse such visits.
The visiting cadres observe and report on any “problems” or “unusual situations”--which can range from uncleanliness to alcoholism to the extent of religious beliefs--and act to “rectify” the situation. … They teach the families Mandarin, the Han majority language; make them sing the Chinese national anthem and other songs praising the Chinese Communist Party; and ensure families participate in the weekly national flag-raising ceremony.   http://unpo.org/article/21061
