Press InvestigationHow China is destroying the Uyghur MosquesIn Gongliu, an agricultural district in the turbulent Chinese region of Xinjiang, each village traditionally had its own mosque. Until, a few years ago, a demolition campaign was launched. De Volkskrant reconstructed this wave of destruction on the basis of satellite images, witness statements, and research on site. The result: of the 66 mosques that stood in Gongliu in 2018, only 12 are still intact and in use today.Jun 12, 2021, de Volkskrant
