新疆维吾尔自治区推出中国首部针对宗教极端主义的地方性法规，该法规于周六生效[1]。法规明确界定了15类极端主义行为，并提出相应的防止、遏制和清除措施[1]。
根据法规规定，极端主义行为包括干涉他人宗教自由、强迫他人参加宗教活动、驱赶不同宗教信徒离开住所、将"清真"概念扩大到食品以外、强制穿着罩袍、通过宗教方式而非法律程序进行婚离、以及剥夺儿童接受国民教育的权利等[1]。法规明确了政府部门和公众在防范宗教极端主义中的责任[1]。
新疆师范大学法学院院长陈彤表示，该法规为保护合法宗教、清除非法宗教提供了法律支持[1]。
The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has enacted China's inaugural local regulation designed to combat religious extremism, set to take effect on Saturday [1]. The regulation defines fifteen categories of extremist behavior and establishes specific measures for preventing, curbing, and eliminating such conduct, while clarifying the responsibilities of government departments and the public [1].
The prohibited behaviors encompassed by the law include interfering with others' freedom of religion, coercing individuals into religious activities, expelling followers of different faiths from residential areas, extending the concept of "halal" beyond food products, mandating the wearing of veils, conducting divorces through religious rather than legal procedures, and depriving children of access to national education [1]. Chen Tong, dean of the Law School at Xinjiang Normal University, stated that the regulation provides legal support for protecting legitimate religious practice while eliminating unlawful religious activity [1].
