China is creating a 'dystopian hellscape' in its treatment of the Uighurs and other Muslim minorities, a leading human rights group warns. 9News

Amnesty International

The findings detail mistreatment at the network of detention centres China has built in Xinjiang over the past five years. The "tiger chair" - the use of which has been reported by other activists - is said to be a steel chair with leg irons and handcuffs designed to shackle the body in place. China has been accused of arbitrarily detaining hundreds of thousands of members of the primarily Muslim Uyghur ethnic minority in Xinjiang province.

And authorities had deemed conventional Muslim practices, including praying, as criminal acts, the report said.

China is turning into a modern day version of the German Nazis

We don't care

This whole story is a massive fabrication by western media to paint China as an evil threat. The same media that said there was WMDs in Iraq. And since when has any western media given a shit about the welfare of Muslims What about the Palestinians right now?

if China treat Muslims like this they will treat anyone who is not of 'their communist order' in the same way.

So you’ve decided to start reporting on international human rights abuse. Better late than never

Think you might have forgotten what the Australian government did in Nauru

Your discussion on Q&A in regards to China was the most clear headed accurate and balanced take on the issue that has been presented in the media to-date. Congratulations. You sir are a legend for your concise non partisan clear minded presentation. Whoever wrote this must be the class idiot... but sicko white AUSTRALIA is at the same pathetic level re history + diplomacy. We might not have learned from history but the CHINESE have, also KOREANS who were occupied by JAPAN since 1910... thus we are a country without a future

Herd of elephants wandering through China is 'unprecedented' | Sky News AustraliaA herd of elephants which has been travelling through China for 15 months has stopped for a rest on the edge of the city of Kunming.\n\nAsian Elephant Cognition and Behaviour Expert Joshua Plotnik says he does not know what led the elephants to travel 500 miles from their original home in the Yunnan province, saying the situation is “quite unprecedented”.\n\n“These elephants haven’t simply just left to go food shopping, as it were, they’ve travelled several hundred kilometres looking for something,” Mr Plotnik told Sky News.\n\n“It could be because of loss of resources they were looking for and no longer have access to in their home area.”\n\nHe said government officials, scientists and locals are working together to develop a plan to assist the elephants.\n\n“The longer-term solution is to find a way to either turn those elephants back to their home, or to gear them towards another protected habitat where they can live safely.”\n\n What if all they've been trying to do this entire time was to get away from the person with the camera?
