After Anti-China Message, US Teen¡¯s TikTok Makeup Tutorial Slams Indian Govt For CAA

In November this year, a 17-year-old US girl named Feroza Aziz, took the world of TikTok by storm with an unconventional video.

What seemed like a regular makeup tutorial, quickly escalated into a video explaining the atrocities meted out to the Uighur Muslims in China.

The video quickly caught fire on social media and people started sharing it across different social media platforms. Feroza Aziz, a human rights activist, went on to post a bunch of videos talking about pressing political issues and explaining things in a simplistic way.

Her most recent video is on the controversial Citizenship Act passed by the Indian government.

In the video titled, 'Love this skincare routine I found', Aziz quickly shifts focus from skin issues to the chaos that's unfolding in India with the passing of the Citizenship act.

Aziz explains, "I also want to speak about the Citizenship bill that's passed in India which excludes Muslims to be granted Citizenship in India and it also requires Muslims to show document proof that they are in fact, Indian citizens."

She goes on to criticise the government for excluding such a vast population based solely on religion and tags the bill as "wrong, immoral and a violation of human rights."

On her Instagram page, Feroza Aziz wrote, "Religion does not make you any less or any more of an Indian. This bill spreads hate and does not care about its own people. People are protesting as we speak, but they are being fought for doing so. Police brutality is at a high, and it¡¯s only getting worse. Please spread awareness, do not keep silent on this issue."

According to a Guardian report, TikTok misunderstood her videos and immediately suspended her account after she posted content related to Xinjiang.

After she had made comical videos making fun of derogatory comments that she has received, including one related to Osama bin Laden, the TikTok admin immediately took her off the app.

Hi guys! Here is part four to my ¡°lash tutorial¡±. Today I wanted to speak about a woman¡¯s story, who spent months in China¡¯s concentration camps. Her name is Mihrigul Tursun. She told her heartbreaking story to the world...last year. And here we are today¡ªstill silent. These innocent human beings are suffering for no reason at all. They are being tortured everyday, and we are not raising our voices about this. The Uyghurs and other minorities in China are crying out for us, yet the world remains silent and does not want to listen. Why? We are better than this. We will not let evil win. Please do not remain silent. Speak up. Spread awareness. Call your senators and representatives. Contact the UN. Donate to Uyghur charities. Do something. No matter how small it is, it will always tremendously help. We will not be another failed generation that did not speak up about these kinds of things. We will be the generation that will make others after us follow in our footsteps. We have to. Please help spread awareness. Save humanity #uyghurs #UN #boycotttiktok @realdonaldtrump @mikepence @marcorubiofla @speakerpelosi @senatormenendez #humanrights

After being slammed for taking her videos down the Beijing-based ByteDance Inc app was forced to put an online apology saying it was a ¡°human moderation error¡± and that Aziz¡¯s video didn't violate its standards, shouldn¡¯t have been removed, and was only offline for 50 minutes total.
