In another crackdown on religious freedom against Muslims, a Chinese court recently sentenced a Muslim couple from Kashgar in the Xinjiang Uyghur Region of China for practicing their religious belief.

A 38-year-old Muslim man was sentenced to six years in prison for growing his beard, while his wife was given a two-year sentence for wearing a veil.

Since the beginning of this year, a certain number of Muslims having beards and wearing the veils and Burqas have been prosecuted and sentenced.
