China trying to prevent Muslims from fasting, says WUC
The Uyghurs are a Turkic ethnic group living in eastern and central Asia.
They are a minority in China.
According to the WUC, officials in the Xinjiang province have order all eateries to remain open.
Government servants adhering to the Islamic faith have also been ordered to not keep a fast.
A Han official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that anyone who breaks the rule would be dealt with, if found out by the Chinese government.
The Muslim world has long cried foul at China's stance in Islamic matters.
Earlier this year, in March, the Communist nation banned burqas and long beards and in April banned Islamic baby names.
