ALMATY, Kazakhstan — Hour upon hour, day upon day, Omir Bekali and other detainees in far western China's new indoctrination camps had to disavow their Islamic beliefs, criticize themselves and their loved ones and give thanks to the ruling Communist Party.



When Bekali, a Kazakh Muslim, refused to follow orders each day, he was forced to stand at a wall for five hours at a time. A week later, he was sent to solitary confinement, where he was deprived of food for 24 hours. After 20 days in the heavily guarded camp, he wanted to kill himself.



"The psychological pressure is enormous, when you have to criticize yourself, denounce your thinking — your own ethnic group," said Bekali, who broke down in tears as he described the camp. "I still think about it every night, until the sun rises. I can't sleep. The thoughts are with me all the time."



Since last spring, Chinese authorities in the heavily Muslim region of Xinjiang have ensnared tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of Muslim Chinese — and even foreign citizens — in mass internment camps. This detention campaign has swept across Xinjiang, a territory half the area of India, leading to what a U.S. commission on China last month said is "the largest mass incarceration of a minority population in the world today."



Chinese officials have largely avoided comment on the camps, but some are quoted in state media as saying that ideological changes are needed to fight separatism and Islamic extremism. Radical Muslim Uighurs have killed hundreds in recent years, and China considers the region a threat to peace in a country where the majority is Han Chinese.



The internment program aims to rewire the political thinking of detainees, erase their Islamic beliefs and reshape their very identities. The camps have expanded rapidly over the past year, with almost no judicial process or legal paperwork. Detainees who most vigorously criticize the people and things they love are rewarded, and those who refuse to do so are punished with solitary confinement, beatings and food deprivation.

And of course many Uighurs are separatists and Beijing considers separatism the same as terrorism.

That's what muslims need. They won't be civil unless forced to do so.

Quote from: "Lance Leftardashian"China is forcing Muslims to eat pork and drink alcohol! I can't express how much of an outrage this is! Are they going to force Muslims to celebrate Valentines day and Christmas too? Around the 1600's China killed the Muslim men and casterated the Muslim boys. We demand reparations.

Quote from: "Bricktop"Whenever I see the word "reparations" I think of Shen Li.

Quote from: "Bricktop"And they were Vietnamese...not Chinese.

Nope, it was about the Vietnam war even though it was set in the Korean war.
