Gansu Arabic school ordered to shut down

Pingliang Arabic School in China’s northwestern province of Gansu has been told by city education officials to close by December 17.
The imminent closure of the 34-year-old Arabic language school, a charity institution, which caters to underprivileged students, has raised the suspicion that draconian security measures adopted in Xinjiang Autonomous Region are applied to other Muslim-populated areas.
