BEIJING, 19 March, 2021 (TON): The Human Rights group Amnesty International claimed that China has forcibly separated Uighur families by taking the young children away from families into state orphanages.

According to the report, the human rights group has urged China to release all Uighur children held in orphanages.

Rights groups say China has detained more than a million Uighurs.

Moreover, the Chinese government faced allegations over a number of human rights abuses against the Uighur people and other Muslim minorities.  

Amnesty's report calls on China to provide full and unrestricted access to Xinjiang for UN human rights experts, independent researchers and journalists, and for all children held without their parents consent to be released to family.

On the other hand, China denies there are any human rights abuses taking place, and has called former camp detainees in exile liars and actors. However, the US, Canada, and the Netherlands have declared that China is committing genocide against the Uighur people but the UK Parliament rejected a similar bill.
