Abdullah Pamir, our
correspondent from Kashgar, sent the following:
Recently, Chinese government on great expenses, built
and put to the exploitation, specially equipped station,
which will be used as a barrier to the foreign radio
broadcastings in Arslanbag in the east of Kashgar city.
Doing this, they made impossible the listening to the
waves of not only ““ Radio Free Asia”” radio in Uygur,
but also to “ Radio Free Europe” and “VOA” radio
stations in Uzbek in the southern part of Eastern
Turkestan.
Before it, the same station was built in Urumchi and it
was impossible to hear the “Erkin Asiya Radiosi” radio
station in the northern part of Eastern Turkestan.
There were small stations of this type in the southern
part of Eastern Turkestan before, but they were not so
strong and still were possibilities to tune to the waves
of the above-mentioned radio stations. Our people, who
tired of continuous political pressures, had access to
the waves of the foreign radio stations and had listened
to them with some hope and satisfaction. That’s why, in
recent years among Uygurs was widely practiced the
listening to the radio. Some people always kept the
radio with themselves, and the news from the radio was
widely discussed among the people.
But, Chinese government who was always against to the
freedom of our nation stopped listening to the radio, as
it did before, during the Cultural Revolution. In some
places the radios had been confiscated, and sometimes
the radio listeners had been punished, which very
strange. But, Chinese authorities were not satisfied
with this, and spending more than 3 million Yuan built
this station in Arslanbag, Kashgar.
It seems that this very strange action, which is
unsuitable to humanism and culture was not happened in
any country of the world yet, except Eastern Turkestan! |
