UK radio presenter spreads disinformation on Uygur Muslims

Maajid Nawaz, a former Islamist and London Broadcasting Company host, posted footage showing blindfolded prisoners being herded on the street. He claims the video shows the “genocide” of Uygur Muslims in Xinjiang.

However, the video is found not to be associated with Xinjiang at all. The footage was filmed in Bijie City, China’s Guizhou Province on August 4, 2017. It shows over 100 criminals of a massive pyramid scheme gang that was transferred to a detention center by 400 local police officers. It was verified with all of the major news outlets in China.

Western propaganda tools operating to create distrust

The Uighur community living in Pakistan is also called Ex-Chinese Pakistani Community. They have ancestral roots in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China, so there is no difference if you call them the Uighur Pakistani community or the Ex-Chinese Communit: both refer to the same community, who are citizens of but are also historically descendants of Chinese Xinjiang-based Uighurs who migrated to Pakistan.

US & TERRORISM IN XINJIANG

The annual report on the Patterns of Global Terrorism during 2001 of the Counter-Terrorism Division  of the US State Department states as follows on China’s contribution to the war of the international coalition against terrorism:

 2. “Chinese officials strongly condemned the September 11 attacks and announced China would strengthen cooperation with the international community in fighting terrorism on the basis of the UN Charter and international law.  China voted in support of both UN Security Council resolutions after the attack.  Its vote for Resolution 1368 marked the first time it has voted in favor of authorizing the international use of force.  China also has taken a constructive approach to terrorism problems in South and Central Asia, publicly supporting the Coalition campaign in Afghanistan and using its influence with Pakistan to urge support for multinational efforts against the Taliban and al-Qaida.  China and the United States began a counterterrorism dialogue in late-September, which was followed by further discussions during Ambassador Taylor’s (Francis Taylor, the State Department’s Counter-Terrorism Co-Ordinator) trip in December to Beijing.  The September 11 attacks added urgency to discussions held in Washington, DC, Beijing, and Hong Kong.  The results have been encouraging and concrete; the Government of China has approved establishment of an FBI Legal Attache in Beijing and agreed to create US-China counterterrorism working groups on financing and law enforcement.
