Related: About this forumUnmatched wickedness': Reports allege child separation, organ harvesting against China's Muslims
From the article:
Two new reports conclude that China is engaging in organ harvesting and a child separation campaign against the countrys Uighur Muslim minority.
Chinas ambassador to the U.K., Liu Xiaoming, has denied a BBC investigations findings, which concluded that Muslim children in the Uighur-majority region of western Xinjiang are being systematically separated from their parents.
The extensive investigation, commissioned by the BBC and led by leading German researcher Adrian Zenz, has found that more than 400 Uighur children in a single township have lost both their parents to prison or Chinas vast network of internment camps.
Chinese authorities have describe the camps as vocational education training centers aimed at curbing terrorism. But U.S. officials say that between 1 million and 3 million Uighurs have been arbitrarily imprisoned in concentration camps where detainees are indoctrinated and even tortured.

Treating them as organ farms. But the Chinese leaders justify their repression under the always popular title of being anti-terror. We certainly cannot blame religious leaders for this.

Once again you try to paint this as persecution of theists in order to smear atheists, but you leave out important details that don't fit your agenda.
Feel free to smear me now for pointing out the truth.

ReligionNews is as unbiased as Russia Today.
It doesn't actually even merit inclusion in the list, but it probably mirrors the Natural News position on this chart, but in the right-wing end of the spectrum.

Come back next presidency, and we'll consider such claims.
