China has strictly banned Uighur Muslims traveling abroad. Human Rights Watch said the matter is violating the right to internationally recognized deportation. According to a report published by the company on Monday, traveling to Muslim majority countries, including Turkey, was completely banned. They are being allowed to go to certain countries like Kazakhstan only for business purposes.
The report also said that if the Uighurs outside China want to visit Shinjiang, then the purpose of traveling 'travel' and 'invitation from the family' should be submitted.
An Uighur man said that after his father returned home after traveling abroad, the police interrogated him and asked him – who he met, where he went, what he said.
China's Vispasation is also very strict for the Uighurs. In countries where China's visa is compulsory, Uighurs have to wait up to six months for a visa. Even if they are not in political activities, only their visas can be canceled by sending children to Uighur language school or attending an event in the presence of Uighur workers.
It has been alleged that China has been taking repressive action against Uighur and Hui Muslims for the past decade. According to UN data, China has seized more than 1 million Uighur Muslims since 20 years. China first denied the existence of these detention centers, but later claimed them to be 'amendment center'.
It is reported that Türkiye is culturally and ethnically close to the Uighurs. So many Uighur fled China and took refuge in Turkey. However, once Türkiye has taken a tough stand against China, the current strengthening of economic relations with Beijing has reduced the level of criticism.
China alleges that family members are being held hostage and Uighurs are being pressured to return home. In some cases, the Uighurs have to be given a 'guarantee' to get permission from China, which is usually a government-backed someone. If the law is not obeyed, the family members or family members are severely punished.
An Uighur man told Human Rights Watch that the Chinese police showed him a picture of a relative in his country and asked, 'Do you know this person.' After saying 'yes' in reply, the police informed the man that he should not expect any more passport.
“The right to meet or communicate with his family is not a special privilege, it is a basic human right,” said Yalkun Uluyal, a Chinese researcher at Human Rights Watch. But China is just giving this permission to certain Uighur. '
It is also alleged that China is pressing the Uighurs abroad to join the state campaign. The visit was organized by the Chinese Communist Party 'Shinjiang United Front Work Department'. Many Uighur thinks it is a safe and easy visa to participate in these tour.
Six countries, including Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, were accused of human rights violations in Shinjiang and Tibet last October. China accused Australia in response to hypocrisy and institutional racism.
Beijing has not yet officially banned Uighurs travel in Turkey. However, it is alleged that some of the selected Uighurs have secretly detained their travel freedom.
