Cairo (IINA) – Egypt's renowned Islamic institution, Al-Azhar al-Sharif has slammed the Chinese authorities for preventing Muslims in some parts of China's western Xinjiang province from fasting and practice their religious activities during the month of Ramadan.
Sheikh of Al-Azhar Dr Ahmed Al-Tayeb on Friday renewed his rejection of all forms of oppression practiced against Uighur Muslims in China, and denial of their religious rights and individual freedoms.
Al-Azhar called on the Chinese authorities to halt all violations against Muslims. It also called on the international community and the United Nations and international bodies, as well as the human rights organizations to immediately intervene to stop these violations that contravene all international norms and conventions, which ensure that every individual has the right to exercise acts of worship and religious rites.
