The editorial
Source: The Pioneer News · 22 Jun 2021Why can’t the Hans of China learn from the example of Indian Hindus towards Muslims and be considerate enough to let the Uyghurs be?
Reports about the treatment of Uyghurs in general and their pregnant women in particular in Xi Jinping’s China sound barbaric. If the purpose is family planning, fair enough, but it should be implemented by law and not by force. Cases were reported in this journal from Istanbul which mentioned several women who were up to six-and-a-half months pregnant being forcibly aborted, evidently posing a threat to their lives. True, Muslims are reputed to procreate much more prolifically than other people but that does not mean that the Government should resort to violent means to achieve smaller families.
