New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh’s Barabanki Police on Thursday booked eight people for being part of a committee that allegedly committed “fraud and cheating” to get Ghareeb Nawaz Mosque, which was demolished on Monday, registered as a Waqf property. The case was lodged at the Ramsanehi Ghat police station late on Thursday night.Â

Even though the US sanctions on China for numerous human rights abuses against Uyghur Muslims are hurting the nation but more action needs to be taken by the Biden administration to further enhance the pressure on Beijing s increasing crackdown on ethnic minorities. Also, the US and other democracies must take on the question of whether to attend the 2022 Olympics in Beijing. According to an opinion piece by Washington Post, China s foreign ministry announced that many companies and residents in Xinjiang suffered heavy losses as a result of a US ban on imports of cotton. Beijing blamed the measure on Adrian Zenz, a German researcher who has exposed many of the crimes committed against the Uyghurs, including the forced labour of hundreds of thousands compelled to pick cotton by hand.
