TARIM JAILS OVERCROWDED WITH POLITICAL PRISONERS

[By Alaqagha, East Turkistan Information Center, 2/21/2001]

The largest prison in Tarim is overcrowded with political prisoners, and the Chinese authorities are forced to move some of the inmates from this prison to a labor camp in Saksantam of Shahyar county. In recent years, the communist Chinese government is strengthening its repressive actions against Uighurs in East Turkistan. Uighurs are being thrown into jails for taking part in Islamic religious activities, and they are accused in various criminal activities.
