A Uyghur woman, Heyrinisa Memet, was sentenced to 14 additional years in jail just days after completing a 10-year sentence for teaching the Quran to teenagers at the request of neighbors, RFA reported today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Memet is one of several Uyghurs recently re-sentenced in China’s Xinjiang region on alleged charges of \u201chaving hatred towards Han Chinese people\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities also accuse them of using religion to undermine the state and promote separatism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rights groups and leaked documents reveal that China is punishing religious practices like Quran teaching, as CCP\u2019s crackdown on Islam persists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Memet’s case highlights the Chinese government’s crackdown on Uyghurs, a Muslim ethnic minority. Critics say the measures are discriminatory and target peaceful religious practices. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
