In late 2019, several posts on Twitter and Instagram, wrote that something was happening in China with believers of the Islamic religion.
"Now, more than 3 million Muslims are housed in concentration camps in Xinjiang, China. The government is attacking the believers of Islam with torture, without giving them the right to practice their religion and by brainwashing them, to leave the religion, to be "normal citizens".

Then, the post continues:
"Men are going to concentration camps, children to orphanages and women are getting married against other Chinese men against their will. "In concentration camps, they are being forced to eat pork and drink alcohol, which their religion does not allow."
The writing says that many of them are taking pills and injections and that they are part of a medical experiment.
"10-30% of Uyghur Muslims are in camps, but even those outside are in poor living conditions. Spy applications have been installed on their phones outside the camps, and Muslim women are not allowed to wear veils."
These posts did not receive much media attention then, but recently the news has gone viral by TikTok and the Chinese government, and the TikTok platform itself has reacted.
Postimi i mëposhtëm nis si një video për këshilla bukurie, por në vend të tyre, vajza flet për kampet e përqendrimit në Kinë. Feroza Aziz thotë se e ka bërë këtë, që TikTok mos t’ja censurojë videon:

Platfofma e kundërshton kategorikisht këtë:
“TikTok nuk moderonn përmbajtje për shkak të videove me ndjeshmëri politike, tha një zëdhënës për BBC News.
Sidoqoftë, TikTok e ka bllokuar një nga llogaritë e mëparshme të Aziz, pas postimit të disa videove me përmbajtjet lidhur me terrorizmin.
Videoja e 17-vjeçares Aziz, u postua në të njëjtën javë që BBC Panorama zbuloi disa dokumente që tregonin të detajuara masat e përdorura për “lavazh truri” të qindra myslimanëve në zonën perëndimore të Xinjiang.
The Chinese ambassador to the United Kingdom has dismissed the document as "fake news":
"I'm telling you that documents or what you call documents are pure fabrication. "Do not listen to fake news.", The Ambassador closed the reply with the BBC journalist.
