Different Islamic groups in China have denounced the plans for construction of a hotel on the site of a Uighur mosque demolished by the communist government.
First published by the Telegraph, news on construction of a hotel by Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc., on the site of Duling Mosque in Hotan Prefecture, Xinxiang has irked Muslim groups across China, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
The decision has drawn condemnation from Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as it issued a statement on its website saying that building of the hotel will be a contribution to the Chinese government's ethnic cleansing of the Uighur Muslims.
Bulldozed in 2018 by Chinese government, Duling Mosque was an important worshipping place in Muslim-dominated city of Hotan, Xinxiang.
