A TikTok user says the Chinese-owned social media platform has blocked her from posting on it for a month after raising awareness about the plight of Uighur Muslims.In a video clip, Feroza Aziz accused Beijing of "throwing innocent Muslims in concentration camps" as well as kidnapping, raping and murdering them and forcing them to eat pork and drink alcohol.The youngster described the situation as "another Holocaust", claiming people who go into the camps don't come back alive.Ms Aziz's clip, which was also posted on Twitter as well as TikTok, was disguised as a make-up tutorial which started with her reaching for a pair of eyelash curlers.But she quickly started talking about the Uighurs and what she wanted her followers to learn about the alleged mass oppression of them in China.She began the 40-second clip by saying: "Hi guys I'm going to teach you guys how to get long lashes, so the first thing you need to do is grab your lash curler, curl your lashes obviously."But she continued: "Then you're gonna put them down and use your phone that you're using right now to search up what's happening in China, how they're getting concentration camps, throwing innocent Muslims in there, separating their families from each other, kidnapping them, raping them, forcing them to eat pork, forcing them to drink, forcing them to convert to different religions, if not, or else they're gonna of course get murdered."She added: "People that are going to these concentration camps don't come back alive.
This is another Holocaust yet no-one is talking about it.
Please be aware.
Please spread awareness."Aziz wrote on Twitter on Monday she has been blocked from posting on TikTok for a month but added: "This won't silence me."In another Tweet, she posted a screenshot of her TikTok app which said it was suspended for "multiple violations" of the platform's community guidelines.Aziz wrote: "China is scared of the truth spreading.
Let's keep scaring them and spread the truth.
Save the Muslims."The TikTok message did not specify which guidelines the youngster had violated.In another TikTok video she posted on Twitter, Aziz explained she started her clips pretending to do a beauty tutorial so "TikTok doesn't take down my videos".She also said a lot of her followers had asked her what they could do about the situation in China.
She said: "Spreading awareness does wonders."TikTok said Aziz's account was not suspended because of the China videos but because she had posted a video of Osama bin Laden on a previous account."TikTok does not moderate content due to political sensitivities," a company spokesman told Business Insider."In this case, the user's previous account and associated device were banned after she posted a video of Osama Bin Laden, which is a violation of TikTok's ban on promoting terrorists."Leak reveals China's 'brainwashing' camps
Earlier this week, leaked documents about Chinese detention camps dramatically contradicted government claims they are voluntary job training centres.Classified documents appear to confirm the testimony of many former detainees that they are centres for forced ideological and behavioural re-education.More than a million people from ethnic minority groups, most Uighur Muslims, are in the camps in the far western Xinjiang region.China's embassy in the UK has dismissed the leak as a "fabrication and fake news".
