1 )In the commemoration of fourth anniversary of the Ghulja uprising

Today is the fourth anniversary of an uprising against the communist
Chinese authorities that took place in Ghulja city of East Turkestan
on February 5, 1997. That day hundreds of Uighur youths took to the
streets of Ghulja peacefully demanding their liberties and freedoms
from the Chinese authorities. The Chinese army and police brutally
suppressed the demonstrators and spilt blood of innocent young people.

The event has become an another example of the cruel repression of
Uighurs by the despotic Chinese government. It has also become a new
symbol of a fair struggle of the Uighur people against colonialism,
despotism, and oppression.

Despite the suppression by the Chinese authorities, the people of
Ghulja continuous to demonstrate its steadfast and brave spirit to the
world. We express our respect to the people of Ili and wish firmness
and endurance to family members of the fallen heroes and to our
brothers and sisters who is suffering in Chinese prisons.

The Uighur people both in our motherland and abroad will never forget
its heroes, those who sacrificed their lives and those who continue
the struggle for liberation from the Chinese yoke and for the freedom
and independence of East Turkestan.

Allah, help those who suffer.
