Otoritas Cina telah menyampaikan maklumat kepada para pegawai, pengajar, anggota Partai Komunis dan mahasiswa yang berafiliasi kepada etnis minoritas Uygur bahwa mereka tidak berhak untuk berpuasa.
Menurut AFP, institusi-institusi pemerintah lokal di wilayah Turkistan Timur, Sin Kiang, telah mengeluarkan keputusan yang menegaskan pelarangan puasa dan kegiatan keagamaan apapun di bulan Ramadhan.

China Bans Xinjiang Officials from Observing Ramadan Fast
SATURDAY, 05 JULY 2014 16:11
Several government departments in China's far western region of Xinjiang have banned Muslim staff from fasting during the month of Ramadan.
One department website said that civil servants cannot "take part in fasting and other religious activities".
Increasing tensions
State-administered Bozhou Radio and TV University said on its website that the fasting ban applied to party members, teachers and young people.
"We remind everyone that they are not permitted to observe a Ramadan fast," it said. ... Similarly a weather bureau in western Xinjiang was reported by the AFP news agency to have said on its website that the ban was "in accordance with instructions from higher authorities". ...The BBC's Martin Patience in Beijing says that this is not the first time that China has restricted fasting in Xinjiang.
Among those imposing a ban are a commercial affairs department and a government hospital which got Muslim staff to sign a written pledge that they would not fast. ...State-run newspapers have in addition been running editorials warning about the health dangers of fasting.
Comment:
Ramadhan, sees yet again, the Islamic Ummah in East Turkestan being terrorised by the Chinese government. What is it about their fear of Islam that makes them behave in such an uncivilised and inhuman way? Resorting to lies and intimidation to pry Muslims away from Islam?
Instead of whipping up hatred and racism, had they stopped to study the ideology of Islam rationally they would surely have found a cure for their sickness and fear and an alternative to their confused race-supremacy-communist-capitalist mess.
Racism is incapable of giving rise to a system for a civilisation. Communism has clearly failed, and capitalism has merely exacerbated and accelerated the increasing inequality, suffering and desperation of the Chinese people.
Islam is not only a religion; it is a complete ideology, built upon a rational and intellectual basis, with a complete set of systems for life. If China seeks to rescue itself from ruin and to become a great civilisation, the solution is in Islam.
Sadly, the suffering isn't just in East Turkestan, but also in Palestine, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Al Sham and Egypt in fact all over the world. Nor is it only the Muslims who are in pain and enslaved on this earth today.
Our vital and urgent duty today, is to work for the reimplementation of Islam, on the method of our beloved Nabi Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم our one and only Guide and Prophet, beloved of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Only under the shade of Islam will Muslims and mankind find justice, security and peace.
Allah سبحانه وتعالى promises in Surah An Nur,
"Allah has promised those of you who have iman and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their deen with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. 'They worship Me, not associating anything with Me.' Any who are kafir after that, such people are deviators." (An-Nur, 24:55)

East Turkestan: Pre-Ramadan Restrictions In China
Unlike millions of Muslims around the world, Uyghurs are banned from fasting or taking part in religious activities during the holy month of Ramadan in China.
"They are extracting guarantees from parents, promising that their children won't fast on Ramadan," Dilxat Raxit, Sweden-based spokesman for the exile World Uighur Congress (WUC), told Radio Free Asia on Thursday, June 13 [2013].
Chinese authorities have reportedly imposed restrictions on Uighur Muslim students returning for summer vacations in the northwestern region of Xinjiang ahead of Ramadan.
Under the restrictions, Uighur students under 18 are banned from fasting during Ramadan or taking part in religious activities. Students defying the restrictions are being reported to authorities for punishment.
"They have also made groups of 10 households responsible for spying on each other, so that if a single child from one family fasts for Ramadan, or takes part in religious activities, then all 10 families will be fined,” Raxit said.
"It's called a 10-household guarantee system.
Ramadan, the holiest month in Islamic calendar, is set to start next month [July 2013].In Ramadan, adult Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking and sex between dawn and sunset. The sick and those traveling are exempt from fasting especially if it poses health risks.
Muslims dedicate their time during the holy month to be closer to Allah through prayers, self-restraint and good deeds. It is customary for Muslims to spend part of the days during Ramadan studying the Noble Qur'an. Many men perform i`tikaf (spiritual retreat), spending the last 10 days of the month exclusively in the mosque.
Religious officials have confirmed that Ramadan fasting is banned for Uighur Muslim students.
"[Fasting] is not allowed," an official at a religious affairs bureau in Hotan's Yutian County told Radio Free Asia.
"The students and the teachers have to report to their schools every Friday, even during the vacation.
"It's like regular lessons," he said, adding that the students would also be eating there.
Activists have also complained that Uighur students are being stripped off their mobile phones ahead of Ramadan.
"After the students get back to their hometowns, those with cell phones and computers must hand them in to the police for searching," said Raxit.
"If they don't hand them over and are reported or caught by the authorities, then they will have to bear the consequences.”
The pre-Ramadan restrictions come ahead of the fourth anniversary of deadly riots in Xinjiang, which left nearly 200 people dead. Chinese authorities have convicted about 200 people, mostly Uighurs, over the riots and sentenced 26 of them to death.
Xinjiang has been autonomous since 1955 but continues to be the subject of massive security krackdowns by Chinese authorities. Rights groups accuse Chinese authorities of religious repression against Uighur Muslims in the name of counter terrorism.
Muslims accuses the government of settling millions of ethnic Han in their territory with the ultimate goal of obliterating its identity and culture. Analysts say the policy of transferring Han Chinese to Xinjiang to consolidate Beijing's authority has increased the proportion of Han in the region from five percent in the 1940s to more than 40 percent now.
Beijing views the vast region of Xinjiang as an invaluable asset because of its crucial strategic location near Central Asia and its large oil and gas reserves.

5 Alasan Pilpres Indonesia 2014 Penting di Mata Dunia
Rakyat Indonesia akan menggunakan hak pilih, 9 Juli 2014.

Selasa, 8 Juli 2014, 14:25
VIVAnews - Proses demokrasi di Indonesia menjadi sorotan dunia internasional karena Pemilihan Presiden 2014 yang akan digelar pada 9 Juli besok. Laman The Guardian mencatat setidaknya lima alasan mengapa Pilpres Indonesia itu dinilai penting. Media massa asal Inggris edisi 7 Juli 2014 itu mengawali artikelnya dengan, "Setelah pernah mengenyam kediktatoran, saat ini negara demokrasi terbesar di dunia dan negara dengan 90 persen muslim siap melangkah maju."
Ada dua pasang calon presiden dan wakil presiden yang akan bertarung besok, yakni Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa dan Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla. Keduanya sama kuat dan bersaing ketat dalam sejumlah survei yang dilakukan lembaga-lembaga survei di Indonesia.
Berikut lima alasan Pilpres Indonesia penting, versi The Guardian:
1. Mega demokrasi
Indonesia merupakan negara demokrasi terbesar ketiga di dunia, dengan jumlah pemilih mencapai 187 juta orang. Jumlah ini termasuk 67 pemilih pemula. Lebih penting lagi, pemilu kali ini merupakan kali pertama di mana tampuk kekuasaan diserahkan dari penguasa yang dipilih langsung rakyat kepada penerusnya.
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono merupakan Presiden Indonesia pertama yang dipilih langsung, paska runtuhnya rezim Orde Baru tahun 1998. Setelah menjabat dua kali periode, SBY tak lagi bisa maju di Pilpres 2014.
2. Ekonomi sehat
Indonesia merupakan negara penting dengan ekonomi yang terus berkembang. Sempat lumpuh karena krisis finansial Asia 1998, Indonesia kemudian tumbuh menjadi negara dengan ekonomi terbesar di Asia Tenggara. Indonesia juga menjadi anggota G20 dan salah satu negara terbaik dari sisi performa kinerja ekonomi.
Indonesia kemudian dikategorikan dalam kelompok ekonomi Mint, bersama Meksiko, Nigeria, dan Turki. Mint merupakan kelompok ekonomi pasar baru yang terus berkembang. Negara dengan penduduk terpadat ke-4 terbanyak dunia itu diproyeksikan akan masuk dalam 7 negara terbesar di dunia tahun 2030.
Selama beberapa tahun terakhir, Indonesia kembali masuk dalam jajaran negara tujuan utama investasi dunia dengan menyandang predikat investment grade. Indonesia pun tetap tumbuh kuat di masa resesi global karena ditopang konsumsi domestik yang sehat. Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) Indonesia terus tumbuh dan diperkirakan mencapai 5,7 persen tahun ini. Namun, 32 juta orang Indonesia masih hidup di bawah garis kemiskinan. Potensi perekonomian Indonesia pun masih digerogoti oleh tingginya praktik korupsi dan minimnya infrastruktur.
3. Masyarakat Dinamis
Transisi demokrasi Indonesia banyak dipuji jika dibandingkan dengan Thailand yang stabilitas politiknya rusak karena kudeta militer, serta demokrasi di Malaysia dan Singapura yang dipertanyakan. Sejak kejatuhan Soeharto dan berakhirnya kekuasaan nepotismenya selama 31 tahun, Indonesia berpindah dari pemerintahan terpusat ke demokrasi yang riuh.
Meski dibayangi masa lalu yang kelam soal jual-beli suara dan politik uang, namun pemilu di negara ini relatif bebas dan adil. Indonesia pun membanggakan masyarakatnya yang dinamis serta lembaga pers yang paling kritis dan vokal di Asia.
Di sisi lain, Guardian menyoroti wakil rakyat di lembaga parlemen yang masih saja korupsi. Dan, ini menjadi persoalan besar. Meski demikian, Indonesia memiliki badan Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi yang sudah membuktikan tajinya dengan menangkapi sejumlah politisi dan pejabat yang korup, beberapa tahun terakhir. Pekan lalu, KPK bahkan berhasil menyeret mantan Ketua Mahkamah Konstitusi Akil Mochtar ke balik jeruji untuk seumur hidupnya.
4. Islam Moderat
Dengan populasi 240 juta orang --di mana 90 persen adalah muslim-- Indonesia kerap dijadikan contoh kompatibilitas Islam dan demokrasi. Meskipun, Timur Tengah merupakan pusat gravitasi dunia Islam, tapi Indonesia memiliki jumlah umat Muslim yang lebih banyak dibandingkan di wilayah tersebut.
Di era Soeharto, politik dan kebebasan beragama dibatasi. Saat ini, kondisi itu berubah di mana Islam dan Demokrasi berkembang dengan pesat. Muslim Indonesia pun dinilai bisa mempraktikkan Islam dalam bentuk yang moderat. Konstitusi Indonesia juga dinilai melindungi kebebasan beragama.
Di sisi lain, pemerintah telah bekerja keras untuk melumpuhkan kelompok-kelompok ekstremis, selama beberapa tahun terakhir, seperti pelaku-pelaku bom Bali tahun 2002. Tapi, di bawah pemerintahan SBY --yang juga disokong partai-partai Islam--intoleransi terhadap umat agama lain juga meningkat.
5. Persatuan Nasional
Indonesia membutuhkan pemimpin yang bisa menyatukan sebuah bangsa yang paling beragam di dunia agar siap memainkan peranan penting di panggung internasional, baik itu politik maupun ekonomi.
Inilah negara yang memiliki 17.000 lebih pulau, ratusan kelompok etnis dan bahasa-- namun tetap bersatu sejak kemerdekaannya tahun 1945. Saat sejumlah negara di dunia dilanda perpecahan, separatisme, dan konflik, Indonesia berdiri sebagai contoh negara yang mengutamakan kebersamaan.
Dua pasangan capres-cawapres memiliki benang nasionalisme dalam setiap argumentasi mereka. Siapapun yang menang, dunia mungkin akan menghadapi Indonesia yang lebih tegas dan menentukan, setelah 9 Juli.
