China’s Muslim minority seek sanctuary in Kazakhstan

China is closely watching what is happening in Kazakhstan and is concerned about increasing anti-Chinese sentiment.

China has been accused of holding more than a million Muslims, including ethnic Kyrgyz and Kazakhs, in its so-called re-education camps in Xinjiang Province.

Rights groups in Kazakhstan have been trying to help locate and reunite individuals with family members.
