ACTNews, KAYSERI - Uighur children who live in
Quran boarding school in Kayseri, Turkey received 400 copies of the Quran
thanks to the support from various partner. The Quran copies were distributed from
Thursday (2/27) to Friday (2/28).
Firdaus Guritno from Global Humanity
Response (GHR) - Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT)
said, the Quran copies owned by the students were worn out, and not every
student had one. "With the Quran distribution, we uplift the enthusiasm of
the children to memorize the Quran," Firdaus said.
Additionally, food and winter gears were
also given to the Uighur in Turkey. They are Uighur Muslims who emigrated from
China for a better life.
In late 2018, the world was shocked over
the news about the detainment of the Uighur Muslims in the so-called ‘reeducation
camps’ in an effort to restrict the traditions, culture and religion of the
ethnic Uighur. Human Right Watch (HRW) reported, in May 2014, China launched
the "Strike Hard Campaign Against Violent Extremism. "A number of Uighur
Muslims who were considered to adhere to “extreme religious dogmas” were
detained and indoctrinated by local authorities in the so-called reeducation
camps. [ ]
