    Extremely ridiculous libel

    
We have an old saying that “once guilty, forever charged.” In present, Chinese Government has treated Eastern Turkistan independent power in that way.

The shameless Chinese Government is blaming Eastern Turkistan Powers for all the crimes and bad actions that have been happening in that region in order to let the world believe that they are “Terrorist Power”, “Criminal Group” and strike them strictly.

When the “strike hard” was started against criminal groups and antisocial powers last April in China, Chinese Government claimed, “National separatists are the biggest criminal group and antisocial power, so that we should focus our strike power on them” and had suppressed the independent power.

After the September 11th events, the main attention of the world concentrated on struggling with terrorism. China takes this chance and starts to blame Uyghur Independent power as “terrorist”. They fabricate so called “terror evidence” and count all the criminal activities, which have been happened since ten years in the region and the vicinity to Eastern Turkistan Independent power’s responsibility.

Maybe Chinese authorities could not find any further “criminal evidence” such as murdering, explosion that could be connected with them and made out very strange evidences from other categories.

For example, according to the Xinhua news of Jan.29th, the vice secretary of Communist Party of the “Autonomous region”, Zhou, driveled: “ the Eastern Turkistan terrorists have threatened our state safety and made the drug trade controlling status complicate by engaging in it. They collect fund for their violent movement by drug trading.”

The quick spreading of drug abusing has been a reality in Eastern Turkistan since recent years. According to the statistics, the number of drug abusers and the amount of Heroin consumption are in second place in China, just next to Yunnan Province.

Most of the victims of drug abusing are Uyghur, which comprises 80% of total drug abusers in Eastern Turkistan.

The spreading of drug abuse among the people who live in a remote, backward region under the oppression of Chinese government as well as the people who believe Islam and have a costume of cherish their convention and national morality really let us be pity and meditate.

Because of drug abuse, tens of thousands of Uyghur youth lost their lives, thousands of families have been destroyed, and thousands of parents deceased early by enraging in recent ten years. People had believed government’s propaganda and hoped them control drug abuse, punish transporters and traders severely, but government did not do that.

Actually, spreading of drug abuse among Uyghur and being in a uncontrolled situation was an objective of a national conspiracy of Chinese government for letting Uyghur youth be muddled in mentally and bodily, in order to lose their ability to against them.


That’s simply because Chinese government wants to control Eastern Turkistan permanently by destroying the Uyghur as a nationality.
Chinese government believes that Eastern Turkistan independent power is the biggest barrier that based on the self-esteem of Uyghur and believing in Islam, on the way to reach their goal.

It’s not hard to see that the best way to demolish it is to spread an atmosphere of alcoholism, prostitution, and drug abuse among Uyghur especially Uyghur youth, and the drug abuse is the most critical one.

The China had tasted such a kind of national conspiracy in history. England corrupted and debilitated Chinese people in mentally and bodily by transported and sold large amount of opium to them in 19th century. Today, the Chinese government implements the exact same method to the Uyghur who lived under their colony. A lot of evidence proves the reality of that point.

For example, in 1997, a Chinese Muslim (HuiZu) who had been detained and sentenced to death for his crime of drug trading, said to a Uyghur inmate that: “I want to tell you a secret, I have been doing this trade for a long time, the police and government knew what I was doing, but they never stopped my drug business in Xinjiang (Eastern Turkistan). Chinese government detained me, because they worried that I reveal their secret in one day. You know what, the government know all big drug traders who are coming to Eastern Turkistan, but they never stop them, so there is a lot of drug trader in Xinjiang (Eastern Turkistan). The goal of them is to debilitate you Uyghur folks. Government betrayed me, anyway I am in the inevitable hour, and therefore I reveal the secret to you.” The story had spread among Uyghur people and became a cause of a discussion.

Besides, in some densely populated Uyghur area, emerged a strange situation that if the alcohol consumption and the number of alcohol abuser decreased in an area, authorities send accredited person and check the reason, even they inquired into private small shop and asked the reason of stopping sell the alcohol, and let them sell alcohol forcefully by threatening and claiming that “sell alcohol otherwise we close your business”.

It is obvious that the Chinese government wishes the demolition of Uyghur people by alcohol and drug abuse, on the contrary, they feel it threaten if the Uyghur people are strong and healthy in mentally and bodily.

In this kind of situation, the vice secretary of party committee of so called Xinjiang Autonomous region, Zhou’s words,” Eastern Turkistan independent powers trading drug business”, is not other than the situation of “Methinks thou doth protest too much” and a ridiculous and shameless libel.

Actually, the main objective of Eastern Turkistan independent powers is to save the Uyghur people from the oppression of Chinese government and the consequential bad behavior such as drug abuse, moral damaging and so on. For this reason, they have carried out propaganda and education on healthy religious belief, good morality, keeping and developing precious convention, and stopping bad behavior among the folks. And they put it as one of the main work of liberation movement. But Chinese government did not allowed it either.

For example, “ the Eastern Turkistan Freedom Party”, organized in Tohsu County, 1992, started their activity with educating people. The several months of propaganda and education resulted in sharply decreasing the drug abuse, and the wedding ceremonies had been taken place simple, without alcohol and according to national costume, and the great improvement of morality of the people. However, Chinese authority banned the organization and detained the members and sentenced them by claimed it as an opposition faction soon.

The “Meshrep” organized by patriotic youth in Ghulja in 1995 is a noble activity for its main purpose is to go against bad behavior such as drug abuse and gambling, develop good national costume, and let derailed youth to normal life by the help of other folks. After that, there was a great improvement of the social and moral atmosphere. But Chinese government also libeled the “Meshrep” as “a political opposition activity” and sentenced leaders of the “Meshrep”.

After the February 5th, 1997 event in Ghulja, on one hand Chinese government detained and sentenced participants in hundreds and thousands, on the other hand they used a measure of poisoning Ghulja youth and destroying them mentally and bodily. As the result, in 1999 Ghulja city became a second in drug abuser’s number next to Urumqi. Once being famous with their vitality, the Ghulja youth declined gradually by the intended undermining of the Chinese government. Now there is no sign of vitality that belonged to Ghulja city before 1997.
