A massive donation for Christchurch shooting victims, raised by international associates of controversial businessman Zhang Yikun, should be returned, an Islamic group says. The Khadija Leadership Network is calling for the donation to be returned, and instead be channelled into helping the persecuted Uighur people in China. Over a million Muslim Uighurs, along with some ethnic Kazakhs and Kyrgyz are in detention facilities, which China initially denied existed, then labelled vocational training facilities. The call to use the money to help support China's Uighur community comes as the prime minister plans to travel to China. The letter would remain online for a couple of weeks, and the network hoped to involve the Christchurch Muslim community.
