4 . Wang Lequan Demands Religious Conference to Carry out Government Policies

 

According to the information gathered by the Eastern Turkistan Information Center from Uighur Homeland, in January this year the meeting of the “ Autonomous province party committee” has been called in Urumchi. This meeting followed the all-national meeting in Beijing which “discussed state issues”. The main demand of the meeting in Urumchi was to “seriously learn Chairman Jiang Zemin’s works”.
The secretary of the Autonomous province party committee” Wang Lequan gave a speech and mentioned that independent forces of Eastern Turkistan fight against Chinese rule would never stop and that this trend should always be suppressed.

Wang Lequan said to the deputies that “ our party has always struggled with the separatism in Xinjiang. This fight has never stopped. We should keep in mind that in the field of ideology the separatists taking advantage of some mistakes in cultural affairs they are attacking our party’s national and religious policies. We should not overlook this tendency”.

Wang Lequan demanded that every party committee, every agency to learn the spirit of religious affairs in the country and to develop understanding for long term objectives of stable developed religious services to population.

According to news gathered by Eastern Turkistan Information center from the homeland, events of September 11 in the USA , Chinese authorities took a chance to strengthen its oppression against religion. Some foreign observers mention that Chinese government makes every effort to associate the global Islamic terrorism with decent Uighurs practicing their religion. Recently the “national religious conference” called in Beijing had worked out secretly the policies of eradicating Islamic affiliations of Uighurs.
We will soon witness implementation of these policies in Eastern Turkistan along with the oppressive regimes’ even more brutal actions against Uighur Muslims.
The Eastern Turkistan Information center points out the national liberation movement in Eastern Turkistan focuses in its activities on three corner stones:

First, -- gaining religious freedom
Second – gaining national independence,
Third – gaining economic independence and prosperity

The religious freedom is viewed as the first among top priorities of Uighurs. The Chinese regime is oppressing the most important right of Uighurs, it will never stop acting this way, it will always attempt to deprive Uighurs of religious freedom. These brutal policies might well lead in future in breaking violent conflicts and instability in Eastern Turkistan and overall in Central Asia.
