Xinjiang Human Rights: China Accused of Changing Xinjiang Village Names to 'Erase Uyghur Culture'

Reported 8 months ago

Activists have pointed out an increasing amount of evidence showing systematic violations of Uyghur rights. Human Rights Watch claims that China has changed the names of hundreds of villages in Xinjiang, aiming to erase Uyghur Muslim culture. Names associated with Uyghur religion, history, or culture have been replaced with terms like 'harmony' and 'happiness'. The changes coincide with a crackdown on Uyghurs, with the Chinese government denying the accusations.
