Curbs Imposed on Muslims in Western China
In Xinhe County, the government has decreed that Communist Party members, civil servants and retired officials must not observe Ramadan, enter mosques or take part in any religious activities during the month.

In addition, children and students cannot be forced to attend religious activities, and women cannot be forced to wear veils.
