Jeddah (IINA) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) expressed its “deep concern” over reports by the media and international organizations indicating human rights violations of the Muslim minority in Xinjiang region.
They are denied the right to practice the fourth pillar of Islam (Ramadan fasting) and the right to observe their religious rituals in this holy month,” the OIC said Saturday in a statement.
The OIC stressed “the need to protect the rights of the Muslim minority, foremost of which is the right to observe their religious practices without harassment or any direct or indirect breaches,” according to the statement
In this context, OIC Secretary General Iyad Madani called on the Chinese Government to proceed expeditiously with an investigation of such abuses and to ensure the safety and security of the Muslim minority while practicing their religious rights in accordance with the relevant international covenants and instruments.
