“Lockdown” has a different meaning for the #Uyghurs: starve them as much as possible #Uyghurs are starving as their homes are closed from the outside without food.

The city of around half a million people, mostly Uyghurs, has been on lockdown due to the covid pandemic since the beginning of August this year. More than 600 residents have already been arrested by authorities after taking to the streets to protest the lack of food.
Uyghurs demand UN action following a damning report by the UN’s human rights chief, which said China’s arbitrary detention and crackdown on Uyghurs and other minorities Turkish forces in Xinjiang “could constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity”.

The Uyghur Autonomous Region is not the only place where Chinese citizens face cruel treatment from the government. Videos are circulating online of Chinese airports where residents who tested positive for covid-19 are being brutally detained and taken away.

As we have already written, in the context of quarantine, 27 people died in a bus accident in China last week, who are believed to have been transported in quarantine. The bus overturned on Sunday September 18 in Guizhou province. There were 47 passengers on board, 27 died, 20 were injured. The Covid-19 quarantine disaster, which many Chinese denounce, quickly became a hot topic on the Chinese social network Weibo. But critical positions quickly disappeared.
