Chinese authorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang have detained an ethnic Kazakh man for performing Quranic recitations – including at a Muslim wedding, Radio Free Asia has learned.

Kusman Rehim, 56, was detained on July 14 after performing readings from the Quran in a melodious art form revered across the Islamic world, the head of the Kazakhstan-based rights group Atajurt, said in an interview on Thursday.

"Kusman Rehim was arrested on July 14," Atajurt chief Bekzat Maksutkhan said. "The main reason was that the police found a Quran in his home."

"Also, he had performed Quranic recitations in people's homes during Eid al-Adha [June 27-July 1] and taken part in a Muslim wedding," Bekzat said.

The arrest comes against a backdrop of renewed attacks on religious worshipunder Chinese President Xi Jinping, with Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and other religious adherents forced to submit to party control and the censorship of their religious lives under the government's "sinicization" program.

However, recitations of the Quran have been banned since 2017, when China began the mass incarceration of Uyghurs and other ethnic groups in "re-education" camps across Xinjiang.

Authorities claimed that normal Islamic customs like the wearing of beards and veils and Quran study groups were evidence of "religious extremism."

“Ethnic unity’

China has also targeted Muslim communities with “ethnic unity” campaigns under which Han Chinese "relatives" put pressure on them to give up fasting for Ramadan, drink alcohol and eat pork.

Bekzat said Kusman Rehim, who hails from Xinjiang's Jimsar county, had been locked up before due to his religious beliefs, and was released after Atajurt publicized his case.

Kusman's younger brother Bilal, who lives in Kazakhstan, said his brother was detained on April 21, released a month later, then detained again on July 14.

"One reason was that he was doing a Quranic recitation at a Muslim wedding ceremony," Bilal said. "The second reason was that the police found a Quran in his home."

He said the family has yet to receive any official notification of his brother's detention, nor any information on the charges against him.

"They just took him away," he said.

A switchboard operator who answered the phone at the Jimsar county police department on Thursday declined to transfer RFA's call.

"We don't really know about that," the operator said, before hanging up the phone.

Repeated calls to local police stations were returned to the same switchboard.

Religious crimes

China recently announced a 100-day “strike hard” campaign in Xinjiang, which typically include police raids on Uyghur households, and tighter restrictions on Islamic practices and curbs on the culture and language of the ethnic minority group.

An elderly Uyghur serving a nearly 14-year prison sentence in Xinjiang following his arrest in 2017 for studying religion as a child and for committing other religious “offenses” died of hypertension while in jail, a local police officer said earlier this month.

Abdurusul Memet, 71, was serving a 13-year-and-11-month sentence for learning the Quran between November 1964 and March 1965 at the time, according to the Xinjiang Victims' Database.

In 2017, another ethnic Kazakh man, Manat Hamit, was jailed for "disseminating terrorism-related audiovisual material," and "incitement to racial hatred and to racial discrimination" after the authorities found audio files of Quranic recitations on his computer.

this proved how fair and just the CCP dictators are. Everyone has been saying CCP is against Uighurs. This news proves that CCP is against not only Uighurs but Kazhaks as well . CCP has thus unequivocally proven that they are against Quran and islam , not partial to only Uighurs.

This means Uighurs and Kazhaks can enjoy the Xingjiang concentration camps equally

The best part is, there is no outrage from the so called defenders of Islam when it comes to China. Such outrage is only reserved for India, Israel and the west.

Ten years ago, Uyghur terrorists in Xinjiang were extremely daring and openly opposed China's marriage law and forced underage girls to marry. Some Uyghur terrorists claimed to be imams of Islamic scriptures and sodomized boys. Moreover, at that time, many Uyghurs announced their divorce to their wives after only telling their wives about divorce three times, occupying the joint property of the husband and wife, and not giving women any property.

These are serious violations that must be punished by law.

After China's strong governance, the Talibanization and Isisization which are prevalent in the Muslim society in Xinjiang, have disappeared from the surface, but this evil terrorist cancer still exists.

Countless Indians have said on YouTube that they are envious of China's strong governance capabilities of xinjiang

indians got one thing wrong, China sees all Uyghurs in Xinjiang as part of the Chinese people, what China is doing is to reverse the direction of Uyghurs who are on the wrong path and heading towards self-destruction. Otherwise, their result is another failed society.

Indians, especially Modi's fanatical followers, do not regard Indian Muslims as compatriots, but as mortal enemies. Indians want Indian Muslims to be a failed society.

So you mean they become terrorists after reading the Quran? Because that’s why this guy was detained for:

Reading Quran does not make a terrorist a non-terrorist.

Well the question is, why suddenly Pakistanis and Bangladeshis stopped caring about Muslims? They cry 24/7 for Indian Muslims and Palestinians but keep absolutely mum on China.

I love this selective outrage really

Muslims ruled Hindus for 1000 years. Hence Hindus have developed an inferiority complex and grudge against the Muslims.

On the other hand it was the Mongols/Chinese like Chenghiz Khan who destroyed and ruled the Muslims.

So Mongols/Chinese do not suffer from any Inferiority complex like the Indians.

 

[Abdul Rehman Majeed]

Keeping Quran at home makes you a terrorist?

Keeping the Quran does not make a terrorist a non-terrorist.

this proved how fair and just the CCP dictators are. Everyone has been saying CCP is against Uighurs. This news proves that CCP is against not only Uighurs but Kazhaks as well . CCP has thus unequivocally proven that they are against Quran and islam , not partial to only Uighurs.

Uighurs, Tajiks, Kazaks. kyrgyzs, Uzbeks etc. are all Turks. ETIM includes all Turkish groups.

Reportedly founded by Hasan Mahsum, a Uighur from Xinjiang’s Kashgar region, ETIM has been listed by the State Department as one of the more extreme separatist groups. It seeks an independent state called East Turkestan that would cover an area including parts of Turkey, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR). After Mahsum’s assassination by Pakistani troops in 2003 during a raid on a suspected al-Qaeda hideout near the Afghanistan border, the group was led by Abdul Haq, who was reportedly killed in Pakistan in 2010. In August 2014, Chinese state media released a report stating that Memetuhut Memetrozi, a co-founder of ETIM who is serving a life sentence in China for his involvement in terrorist attacks, had been indoctrinated in a madrassa in Pakistan. The report, which said Memetuhut had met Mahsum in 1997 and launched ETIM later that year, marked a rare public admission of Pakistani ties to Uighur militancy.

Who are the Uyghurs and why is China being accused of genocide?​

China has been accused of committing crimes against humanity and possibly genocide against the Uyghur population and other mostly-Muslim ethnic groups in the north-western region of Xinjiang.
Human rights groups believe China has detained more than one million Uyghurs against their will over the past few years in a large network of what the state calls "re-education camps", and sentenced hundreds of thousands to prison terms.
A series of police files obtained by the BBC in 2022 has revealed details of China's use of these camps and described the routine use of armed officers and the existence of a shoot-to-kill policy for those trying to escape.
The US is among several countries to have previously accused China of committing genocide in Xinjiang. The leading human rights groups Amnesty and Human Rights Watch have published reports accusing China of crimes against humanity.
China denies all allegations of human rights abuses in Xinjiang. The Chinese government - speaking after details of the Xinjiang Police Files were published - said the peace and prosperity brought to Xinjiang as a result of its anti-terrorism measures were the best response to "all sorts of lies".

Who are the Uyghurs?​

There are about 12 million Uyghurs, mostly Muslim, living in Xinjiang, which is officially known as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR).
The Uyghurs speak their own language, which is similar to Turkish, and see themselves as culturally and ethnically close to Central Asian nations. They make up less than half of the Xinjiang population.
Recent decades have seen a mass migration of Han Chinese (China's ethnic majority) into Xinjiang, allegedly orchestrated by the state to dilute the minority population there.
China has also been accused of targeting Muslim religious figures and banning religious practices in the region, as well as destroying mosques and tombs.
Uyghur activists say they fear that the group's culture is under threat of erasure.

Where is Xinjiang?​

Xinjiang lies in the north-west of China and is the country's largest region. Like Tibet, it is autonomous, meaning - in theory - it has some powers of self-governance. But in practice, both regions are subjected to major restrictions by the central government.

Xinjiang is a mostly desert region and produces about a fifth of the world's cotton. Human rights groups have voiced concerns that much of that cotton export is picked by forced labour, and in 2021 some Western brands removed Xinjiang cotton from their supply chains, leading to a backlash against the brands from Chinese celebrities and netizens.
In December 2020, research seen by the BBC showed that up to half a million people were being forced to pick cotton in Xinjiang. There is evidence that new factories have been built within the grounds of the re-education camps.
The region is also rich in oil and natural gas and because of its proximity to Central Asia and Europe is seen by Beijing as an important trade link.
In the early 20th Century, the Uyghurs briefly declared independence for the region but it was brought under the complete control of China's new Communist government in 1949.

What are the allegations against China?​

Several countries, including the US, UK, Canada and the Netherlands, have accused China of committing genocide - defined by international convention as the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".
The declarations follow reports that, as well as interning Uyghurs in camps, China has been forcibly mass sterilising Uyghur women to suppress the population, separating children from their families, and attempting to break the cultural traditions of the group.
The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has said China is committing "genocide and crimes against humanity".
The UK parliament declared in April 2021 that China was committing a genocide in Xinjiang.
A UN human rights committee in 2018 said it had credible reports that China was holding up to a million people in "counter-extremism centres" in Xinjiang.
The Australian Strategic Policy Institute found evidence in 2020 of more than 380 of these "re-education camps" in Xinjiang, an increase of 40% on previous estimates.
Analysis of data contained in the latest police documents, called the Xinjiang Police Files, showed that almost 23,000 residents - or more than 12% of the adult population of one county - were in a camp or prison in the years 2017 and 2018. If applied to Xinjiang as a whole, the figures would mean the detention of more than 1.2 million Uyghur and other Turkic minority adults.
The UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said the files contained "shocking details of China's human rights violations".

In 2018, the BBC found all reporting was tightly controlled
Earlier, leaked documents known as the China Cables made clear that the camps were intended to be run as high security prisons, with strict discipline and punishments.
People who have managed to escape the camps have reported physical, mental and sexual torture. Women have spoken of mass rape and sexual abuse.

What was the build-up to the crackdown?​

Anti-Han and separatist sentiment rose in Xinjiang from the 1990s, sometimes flaring into violence. In 2009 about 200 people died in clashes in Xinjiang, which the Chinese blamed on Uyghurs who wanted their own state. But in recent years a massive security crackdown has crushed dissent.
Xinjiang is now covered by a pervasive network of surveillance, including police, checkpoints, and cameras that scan everything from number plates to individual faces. According to Human Rights Watch, police are also using a mobile app to monitor people's behaviour, such as how much electricity they are using and how often they use their front door.
Since 2017, when President Xi Jinping issued an order saying all religions in China should be Chinese in orientation, there have been further crackdowns. Campaigners say China is trying to eradicate Uyghur culture.
The Xinjiang Police Files, which all date from before 2019, shed further light on Uyghurs being punished for alleged crimes that took place years ago. Many appear to have been targeted for their mobile phone use, for listening to "illegal lectures" or not using their phones enough, which is regarded as a sign the user is trying to evade digital surveillance.

What does China say?​

China denies all allegations of human rights abuses in Xinjiang. In response to the Xinjiang Police Files, China's foreign ministry spokesman told the BBC that the documents were "the latest example of anti-China voices trying to smear China". He said Xinjiang enjoyed stability and prosperity and residents were living happy, fulfilled lives.
China says the crackdown in Xinjiang is necessary to prevent terrorism and root out Islamist extremism and the camps are an effective tool for re-educating inmates in its fight against terrorism.
It insists that Uyghur militants are waging a violent campaign for an independent state by plotting bombings, sabotage and civic unrest, but it is accused of exaggerating the threat in order to justify repression of the Uyghurs.
China has dismissed claims it is trying to reduce the Uyghur population through mass sterilisations as "baseless", and says allegations of forced labour are "completely fabricated".
