Protest in solidarity with the Uyghurs in Amsterdam, Netherlands by Ana Fernandez / SOPA Images
Hundreds of people gathered at the Dam Square to show their support with China's ethnic Uighurs. The Chinese government has reportedly detained more than a million Muslims at re-education camps. Most of the people who were arbitrarily detained are Uighur, a predominantly Turkic-speaking ethnic group primarily from China’s north-western region of Xinjiang. Human rights organisations, UN officials, and many foreign governments are urging China to stop the crackdown.
