أكد "ديلكست راكسيت" - المتحدث باسم الإيجور في المنفى بـ"السويد" - أن السلطات الصينية تجبر الطلاب المسلمين على عدم الصيام في رمضان، وتطالب أولياء الأمور بضمان أن أبناءهم لن يقوموا بالصيام؛ حيث تمنع السلطات الطلاب دون 18 عامًا من الصيام، وتعاقب الطلاب الذين يخالفون الحظر.

وأكد "راكسيت" أن السلطات تدفع المسلمين بالأسرة الواحدة للتجسس على بعضهم بعضًا للحيلولة دون صيام الطلاب؛ حتى لا يتعرض جميع أفراد الأسرة للعقاب الجماعي إذا ثبت صيام من دون 18 أو مشاركتهم في أي نشاط ديني؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Banned’ Ramadan for Uighur Muslims

Unlike millions of Muslims around the world, Uighur students returning for summer vacations in northwestern China are banned from fasting during the holy month of Ramadan.

"They are extracting guarantees from parents, promising that their children won't fast on Ramadan," Dilxat Raxit, Sweden-based spokesman for the exile World Uighur Congress (WUC), told Radio Free Asia on Thursday, June 13.

Chinese authorities have reportedly imposed restrictions on Uighur Muslim students returning for summer vacations in the northwestern region of Xinjiang ahead of Ramadan.

Under the restrictions, Uighur students under 18 are banned from fasting during Ramadan or taking part in religious activities.

Students defying the restrictions are being reported to authorities for punishment.

"They have also made groups of 10 households responsible for spying on each other, so that if a single child from one family fasts for Ramadan, or takes part in religious activities, then all 10 families will be fined,” Raxit said.

"It's called a 10-household guarantee system.”

Ramadan, the holiest month in Islamic calendar, is set to start next month.

In Ramadan, adult Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking and sex between dawn and sunset.

The sick and those traveling are exempt from fasting especially if it poses health risks.Muslims dedicate their time during the holy month

to be closer to Allah through prayers, self-restraint and good deeds.

It is customary for Muslims to spend part of the days during Ramadan studying the Noble Qur'an.

Many men perform i`tikaf (spiritual retreat), spending the last 10 days of the month exclusively in the mosque.
