THE Highland Tories have been forced to delete their Facebook account after making “absolutely disgusting” claims that living in Scotland and not supporting the SNP is like being an Uighur in China.
The Uighurs are a Turkic-speaking ethnic minority group from Central Asia, with the majority living in the Xinjiang region in the west of the country.
Under current Chinese premier Xi Jinping, Muslim minorities are being arbitrarily arrested and imprisoned. It’s estimated around one million Uighur Muslims have been detained in what China calls “vocational training centres”, according to Dr Anna Hayes from Australia’s James Cook University.

Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson is welcomed for a dinner with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, right, in Brussels.
Sir, – For the first time the UN relief agency Unicef is launching an emergency appeal inside the UK.
There is a public health crisis, an economic crisis and an environmental crisis, all merging with the unfolding Brexit catastrophe.
This is the result of four decades of gutting the living standards and conditions of working people, to benefit the super-rich.
Thatcher and Reagan began lowering the working conditions in the early 1980s.
Battling inflation was the propaganda and a recession was instigated by raising interest rates. Then rates were lowered for banks, and the central banks could pursue policies which the value of assets would never decrease.

SNP's Annual National Conference 2019.
Sir, – Regarding Denis Munro’s claim the SNP has achieved little in government (Letters, December 15).
Since 2007, the SNP has enacted groundbreaking policies. The Baby Box gives every wee one a good start in life, and will help reduce infant mortality. Free tuition widens access to education and provides a route out of poverty.
Free personal care for all who need it helps our vulnerable people.
The SNP delivered the Queensferry Crossing on time and under budget.
In February the SNP will introduce the Scottish Child Payment of £10 per child per week – a game changer in tackling child poverty. Unlike Universal Credit, it will not contain an abhorrent Rape Clause.
