Weekly Political and Scientific Newspaper - A Eastern Turkistan News Agency Publication

4 ) Chinese Authorities leads a strong attack against the mass media channels in Eastern Turkistan

The Chinese regime halted publications of several newspapers and journals under the pretext of ‘cleansing and confiscating illegal publications”

Our correspondent Tomur Choqqi reports from Urumchi:

On March 28 the City Cultural Affairs department together with the city Public Security office gathered on the Dongshen waste collection territory a number of books, journals, magazines and yellow press materials. These all were qualified as “the illegally published publications” and burned down. According to our correspondent, though some materials were illegally published and distributed and were “of the yellow press nature”, most of the burned materials were really “the nationalist ethnic separatist” publications. The Chinese circles burned the books and journals because they believed that it caused ‘a threat to the national security.”
