The rights of religious minorities are also one of the main challenges in the discourseof global and national human rights, and countries are committed to respecting theirrights under the Constitution and international human rights instruments. One of themost important minorities in China is the Muslims of the Xinjiang UyghurAutonomous Region, who have returned to their past tensions with the centralgovernment in recent years. In this regard, the state, in the framework of the globalprogram against terrorism and extremism, by creating ideological and politicalretraining camps, took action and restricted the religious and cultural freedoms ofMuslims in this region and subsequently the national and human rights institutionsreacted to China's actions in the form of two approaches: supportive (compatiblewith human rights) and critical (human rights violations). The main purpose of thisstudy is to investigate this challenge with a descriptive-analytical approach. Theresults of the study show that despite China’s positive policy in the fight againstterrorism, sate also follows the policy of Muslim Chineseization and intellectual andthe forced cultural transformation under this program. This approach of China is aclear violation of the human rights of Muslims in the region.
