Persecution of Uyghurs in China

The persecution of Uyghurs in China involves many human rights violations in Xinjiang that are hurting Uyghurs. This is being done by the Chinese government. 

It is estimated that there are more than a million Uyghurs being persecuted. Some governments and human rights NGOs (organisations that aren't governments) call the repression against Uyghurs a genocide (destroying a group of people). Not everybody agrees that the repression is a genocide though.

 Methods 
The Uyghurs:

 have to go into concentration camps
 are forced to work
 cannot have children
 are forced to listen to the Chinese government
 are not allowed to practice their own religion
Thousands of mosques are being destroyed and damaged. Hundreds of thousands of children are being sent to boarding schools.
