Some 70 people representing various Muslim NGOs including PAS held a silent protest in support of China's Uyghurs today.

The protest was held outside the Bangi Avenue Convention Centre ahead of a cultural show tonight to promote tourism to Xinjiang - the province where over one million Uyghurs have reportedly been forced into "re-education camps" by Beijing.
