Researchers say <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/26/xinjiang-crackdown-must-continue-top-china-leader-says" data-link-name="in body link">as many as 1.5 million Uighurs</a> and other Muslims have been involuntarily sent to internment or re-education camps, claims that Beijing rejects.</p><p class="dcr-1eu361v">Campaigners and researchers believe authorities have bulldozed hundreds, possibly thousands of mosques as part of the campaign.

While closed years ago, major shrines have not been previously reported as demolished. Researchers say the destruction of shrines that were once sites of mass pilgrimages, a key practice for Uighur Muslims, represent a new form of assault on their culture.</p><figure id="14889935-a840-49c9-b788-61fcbf01c74f" data-spacefinder-role="inline" data-spacefinder-type="model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement" class=" dcr-173mewl"><div id="img-2" class="dcr-1t8m8f2"><picture class="dcr-evn1e9"><source srcSet="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/505c3fc7dafbdacbde09b6a20fdf88093d63825b/0_0_2500_1500/master/2500.jpg?width=620&dpr=2&s=none&crop=none" media="(min-width: 660px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 660px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)"/><source srcSet="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/505c3fc7dafbdacbde09b6a20fdf88093d63825b/0_0_2500_1500/master/2500.jpg?width=620&dpr=1&s=none&crop=none" media="(min-width: 660px)"/><source srcSet="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/505c3fc7dafbdacbde09b6a20fdf88093d63825b/0_0_2500_1500/master/2500.jpg?width=605&dpr=2&s=none&crop=none" media="(min-width: 480px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 480px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)"/><source srcSet="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/505c3fc7dafbdacbde09b6a20fdf88093d63825b/0_0_2500_1500/master/2500.jpg?width=605&dpr=1&s=none&crop=none" media="(min-width: 480px)"/><source srcSet="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/505c3fc7dafbdacbde09b6a20fdf88093d63825b/0_0_2500_1500/master/2500.jpg?width=445&dpr=2&s=none&crop=none" media="(min-width: 320px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 320px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)"/><source srcSet="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/505c3fc7dafbdacbde09b6a20fdf88093d63825b/0_0_2500_1500/master/2500.jpg?width=445&dpr=1&s=none&crop=none" media="(min-width: 320px)"/><img alt="Three-way composite of Jafari Sadiq shrine." src="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/505c3fc7dafbdacbde09b6a20fdf88093d63825b/0_0_2500_1500/master/2500.jpg?width=445&dpr=1&s=none&crop=none" width="445" height="267" loading="lazy" class="dcr-evn1e9"/></picture><a href="#img-2" data-ignore="global-link-styling" aria-hidden="true" tabIndex="-1" class="open-lightbox dcr-13fd1ms"><button data-element-id="14889935-a840-49c9-b788-61fcbf01c74f" type="button" aria-haspopup="dialog" class="open-lightbox dcr-4tmywn"><svg viewBox="-3 -3 30 30" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" aria-hidden="true"><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M23 8.75V1.5l-.5-.5h-7.25v1.25l4.5.6L14 8.575 15.4 10l5.75-5.725.6 4.475zm-22 6.5v7.25l.475.5h7.25v-1.25l-4.475-.6 5.725-5.775L8.6 14l-5.775 5.725-.575-4.475z"></path></svg><span class="dcr-194i6pr">View image in fullscreen</span></button></a></div><figcaption data-spacefinder-role="inline" class="dcr-1fujct4"><span class="dcr-1inf02i"><svg width="18" height="13" viewBox="0 0 18 13"><path d="M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z"></path></svg></span><span class="dcr-1qvd3m6">Three-way composite of Jafari Sadiq shrine.</span> Photograph: Planet Labs</figcaption></figure><p class="dcr-1eu361v">“The images of Imam Asim in ruins are quite shocking.

In January, China passed a five-year plan to “guide Islam to be compatible with socialism”. In a speech in late March, party secretary Chen<strong> </strong>Quanguo who has overseen the crackdown since 2016<strong> </strong>said the government in Xinjiang must “improve the conditions of religious places to guide “religion and socialism to adapt to each other”.</p><p class="dcr-1eu361v">Removing Islamic buildings or features is one way of doing that, according to researchers.</p><p class="dcr-1eu361v">“The Islamic architecture of Xinjiang, closely related to Indian and Central Asian styles, puts on public display the region’s links to the wider Islamic world,” said David Brophy, a historian of Xinjiang at the University of Sydney. “Destroying this architecture serves to smooth the path for efforts to shape a new ‘sinicised’ Uighur Islam.”</p><p class="dcr-1eu361v">Experts say the razing of religious sites marks a return to extreme practices not seen since the Cultural Revolution when mosques and shrines were burned, or in the 1950s when major shrines were turned into museums as a way to desacralise them.</p><p class="dcr-1eu361v">Today, officials describe any changes to mosques as an effort to “improve” them. In Xinjiang, various policies to update the mosques include adding electricity, roads, news broadcasts, radios and televisions, “cultural bookstores,” and toilets. Another includes equipping mosques with computers, air conditioning units, and lockers.</p><p class="dcr-1eu361v">“That is code to allow them to demolish places that they deem to be in the way of progress or unsafe, to progressively yet steadily try to eradicate many of the places of worship for Uighurs and Muslim minorities,” said James Leibold, an associate professor at La Trobe University focusing on ethnic relations.</p><p class="dcr-1eu361v">Critics say authorities are trying to remove even the history of the shrines. Rahile Dawut, a prominent Uighur academic who documented shrines across Xinjiang, disappeared in 2017. Her former colleagues and relatives believe she has been detained because of her work preserving Uighur traditions.</p><p class="dcr-1eu361v">Dawut said in an interview in 2012: “If one were to remove these … shrines, the Uighur people would lose contact with earth. They would no longer have a personal, cultural, and spiritual history. After a few years we would not have a memory of why we live here or where we belong.”</p></div></div><gu-island name="SlotBodyEnd" priority="feature" deferUntil="visible"
