Well, it's not by Religion. If so, China would have ~45 million muslims permanently imprisoned. Contrary to popular belief, the folks in Xinjiang don't make up the majority of Muslims in China. Those would be the Hui who make up ~3% of the population just by themselves.
It is indeed deeply distressing that Uyghurs are detained for months, under-go re-education before being released. And torture if they fail to comply. But we have an international council for that - the UNHRC. The US has no leg to stand on to individually judge other nations with their extra-ordinary violent history and propaganda in the modern era.

Indeed and such people should be treated for the evil hypocrites they truly are until they pay for their crimes. American citizens can support them and be sanctimonious about this, but the rest of the world (esp Middle-East/Asia) will take it for what it truly is:
"Might Makes Right and Daddy USA is Mightier Than You, So None Can Judge Us, But We Can Judge You".
The US should make make a clear, evidenced case at UNHRC, hold an international hearing and attempt a resolution. But hey, then everything would need to be questioned and analysed from more than one party.
- BobbyJo 5y agoWeird how the parts of the world with the least press and human rights are the most against talking about Xinjiang. Probably just a coincidence tho.
- lenkite 5y agoWeird how the nation with the most propaganda, maximum incarcerated and most wars/bombings in the modern era acts holier-than-thou all the time. Probably just a coincidence tho.
