A rally was held in Hong Kong to protest the alleged improper detention of Uighurs in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China, and a large number of citizens appealed to the Chinese government to improve human rights.
In the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, many Muslim Uyghurs are reportedly being improperly detained by authorities and forced to conduct ideological education, and criticism has been raised from the United States and other international communities.
In Hong Kong, where government and police protests have lasted for more than six months, a rally to protest the issue was held on the afternoon of August 22 in Hong Kong Island's Central District, hosted by student groups, and attracted about a thousand citizens.
Participants appealed to the Chinese government to improve human rights, saying, "Today, Xinjiang is Hong Kong tomorrow" or "Let's stand up with the Uyghurs."
A woman in her twenties said, "I'm afraid that Hong Kong is going to look like the Chinese continent. I want to fight with Uighurs for freedom."
The rally was approved by the police, but there were occasions where participants and the police collided with the removal of the Chinese flag on the square.
On the other hand, the Chinese government has said that through education and vocational training, people who have been affected by radical ideas have been able to return to normal life, and that security has improved, and criticism from the United States and others has I am strongly opposed by domestic political interference.
