Ah Fai, a local citizen and other citizens helped to clean the Mosque with tissue paper after the police left.

He knew that his actions does not help much, he said "we could only clean a small portion of the mess, the plants and leaves inside the entrance gates were also tainted with the pepper spray solution. Even the soil for the plants were tainted with dyed-irritant”. Ah Fai suspected that the police purposefully sprayed the Mosque with dye to provoke the religion, "You(the government) said you want to mend rifts, and yet you are the one creating these rifts, rifts between Hong Kong and all religions of the world, or at least a rift with #Islam!"

Amnesty International Report Describes Xinjiang's Situation as a “Dystopian Hell Landscape"

Amnesty International characterized the Chinese government’s actions against the Turkic Muslim population as a “crime against humanity” on Thursday (10 June). They publish a 160-page report, stating Uyghurs and Muslim minorities in Xinjiang are facing systematic abuse, including the torture tool “tiger chair” that a slight move can lead to great pain to the person in the seat.

Recently, many governments and international organizations accuse China of human rights violations. Among them, Amnesty International has been investigating the Xinjiang issue for years. This report describes the Chinese government's intention to remove Muslim cultures and traditions within the territory by different means. The report also states the government regards Turkic Muslim in the region as “extremists”. The report alleges that since most Xinjiang people are afraid of being imprisoned or badly treated, they stop praying nor following any act of Islam observance, including clothing, retouching and speech. Some locals said to Amnesty International, “We cannot say 'let peace be with you (as-salamu-alaykum)'. The government even ban Koran, prayer mats and other religious products.

The report also quotes evidence from Turkic Muslim that they are detained in Chinese government-called “re-education camps", with abuse by the authority. Turkic Muslim women were even forced to accept the system of sterilization or birth control.
