China's muslims have reported experiencing increased levels of repression over recent weeks, as the Muslim fasting period of Ramadan kicked off. Some from the province of Xinjiang have reported forced-shavings with the threat of arrest by local Communist Party officials, while others have had restrictions of fasting and other aspects of practising their religion.
Can't the local officials see what they're doing? Not only is forcing people to shave their beards or stopping them from choosing to fast inhumane and degrading, it is also only going to serve to heighten tensions in an already fraught area. This sounds like it's going towards a potentially very dangerous situation.
