against them. it was a bit of a bit of we don't have enough money to go to the tribunals my father is a daily wage labor our financial condition isn't good we have a lot of money worries. sharjah have works tirelessly to help those excluded understand the people working link to the process. it isn't simply the financial burden that means on these families. it is also an emotional drain to have to prove something that hard to find their identity. for my ancestors were indians how can i be buying division this is why i'm so saddened by this it's very difficult for me to fight these cases. and c. in his effort to help so i have dealt with countless painful stories. the fullest was in his own home. they thought everything was in order. but 30

out of $33.00 members of his family were left off the draft n.r.c. already they have spent thousands of rupees to attend hearings and now the question that preoccupies those excluded is what would become of them sacha who wonders if indian authorities will create a village of so-called foreigners make them 2nd class citizens or perhaps even stripped at a certain traits and only grant work permits. resident indian that i am a genuine indian my grandfather is indian my father was born here i was born here why would we accept this whether there will be protests 100. critics of the n r c have said it would heavily target been broadly speaking muslims on the assumption that they are from bangladesh a muslim majority country. yet many of those excluded and off lists are migrants from the indian state of west bengal. and the little nationalist b.g.p.

government insists this is a way to oust illegal bangladeshi immigrants not genuine in. the here articulate is their party we need the n.r.c. way because many illegal bangladeshi intruders have entered with up. as a result the rights and identities of the indigenous people of a given have been threatened. if. the stories on the ground show otherwise for many people here an uphill battle is only just beginning. for those left off off the final list of citizens this may well be the last resort for the tribunals like the so on are being set up or cross the state to field appears from those who have been excluded and they were the far too diverse these exclusions. people can ultimately take them out the only way to the supreme court but such an

end the appeals process is challenging. then get a good lawyer or do they need resources they need money and most of the people below who struggled to society for damage will be hard to gather the resources and if i did legal battle. in homes across assume that it's only one thing left to do we as the government finalizes the names of those who deserved to be indian a core identity of millions hangs in the balance. china has come under a lot of scrutiny and pressure over its detention about 1000000 people in its far western territory of sheen junk as a reminder the vast majority of those held have been weekers an ethnic muslim minority beijing claims the group harbors fundamentalist separatists and terrorists

in some cases that has been true but not according to governments and human rights organizations around the world for the vast majority of wiggers in fact not only have chinese officials gone after ordinary people they have systematically gone after weaker intellectuals' artists and writers it appears to be a strategy to break their cultural identity here's a closer look at one case. if you want to crush a culture you come for people like you. this now is this close this is family can get to him. my father was. just being a normal weaver intellectual trying to preserve our culture but before all this after the arrival of office party a secretary everything changed a gifted poet and intellectual earned praise for promoting the weaker culture and its people in chinese society then in 2018 he was arrested and sent to prison.

just appointment of this new party secretary really turned to full scale oppression and full scale amazing up any kind of ideas that they don't like. the new secretary is this man the most senior communist party official in xinjiang province he helped to oversee a suffocating crackdown on muslim leaders a turkish minority up to 1000000 of them are held in reeducation camps the chinese government says it's driving out religious extremism human rights activists say it amounts to cultural and ethnic cleansing. it's extraordinary that china's effectively getting away with arbitrarily detaining a 1000000 turkic muslims and not really paying a price for it rarely do we have the luxury to say anything at all. in trying to

let the world know that my father is not some. people. trying to subvert government pay is just normal we were people decently or people that's just trying to preserve our culture and the earth which. for years rosie's writing gave voice to the weaker people now he's lost his his son is determined to find it off we have come a turkey in the sun in the report you just saw joining us from the united states your father is in prison and you haven't been able to hear from him at all is that correct yes my father was taken into a prison back in october 2016 and i was not able to hear back from them since that . and usually if someone has a family member in prison you can still visit them but that's not what's going on in china is it you know that's not what's going on in china after my father's other

single arrest we called every phone number that people all equal family vehicle friends vehicle anyone that we think might have a link with the government that would help us to find about there where my father was locked up that we couldn't even know where my father was locked up for more than a year he was held in a state secret location all more than a year and. not to mention like talking to a week we don't get we didn't even know where he was at that time for more than a year and so when you think about that how does it feel i mean how has it been for you and your family. so when i think about it was a devastating. it has stayed in effect on my family when my father and if they're arrested we as i said we didn't know where he was meeting to know about his health condition and for the most part we don't know what will he be charged with although

my father is all in the eyes of the government government chinese government he was already convicted before his arrest the rest we didn't know what kind of flight charges or sentences will there be or my father not knowing what's happening not knowing why me that is very devastating thing for us and after my father because my father was the. one who was supporting us financially after my father's arrest i had to halt lie on study plans to support my family so my dreams my dreams to get into medical school for now it's on a hold. so our life has changed so much after my father's arrest how would you characterize what's happening to the people inching jam to we there's and other ethnic minorities there right now right know a days what's happening in our region it amounts to ethnic cleansing in my views

and in the b. was of so many others because when we talk about ethnic cleansing we might think that they are the government is systematically eradicating evil or.
