10:23Now PlayingIn a remarkable testament to their faith and resilience, six Chinese Muslims went to extraordinary lengths to complete their Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, navigating a maze of government restrictions and surveillance measures aimed at curtailing such religious activities. Speaking to American media outlet NPR, the pilgrims, whose identities were kept anonymous for their safety, detailed how they had to disguise themselves in athletic wear to avoid detection as Hajj pilgrims, secure passports which had become increasingly difficult for Chinese Muslim ethnic groups, and navigate through strict surveillance controls and a series of indirect flights to reach their destination. The Chinese authorities have denied Muslims access to almost every pathway abroad with the reasoning that "they may be radicalized or spread religious fervor once they return to China." Once in Saudi Arabia, their challenges did not cease; they were unable to secure the official Hajj visa and passes, received threatening calls from local Chinese police officers, and had to find a private driver willing to drive them through Mecca. Despite overcoming these considerable hurdles to complete their two-week-long pilgrimage last June, they now face the possibility of punitive consequences upon their return to Qinghai, China.
