Uighur Muslims in China’s northwest province of Xinjiang face severe abuses in practicing their religion, including prohibition from the required fast during the holy month of Ramadan, according to religious rights watchdogs and news reports.

The Chinese Communist Party has been ordering Muslims in the province to eat during the holy month, when they are normally required to fast, the Financial Times reported.

In Xinjiang, “authorities view independent religious activities as evidence of ‘extremism’ and prohibit outward manifestations of Islamic piety among students and government employees,” said the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom in its 2013 annual report.
