Serious arrests in Kashgar

    Though international organizations are trying to affect to China not to humiliate human rights of Uighurs by taking advantage of 11th September events, Chinese government is ignoring this and instead of this under the name “Hard Strike” campaign is increasing arrests and imprisonments of Uighurs in Eastern Turkestan.
    According to our reports on the 28th of March Chinese government called a court in Kashkar region of Eastern Turkistan and sentenced 14 Uighurs to the imprisonment under the name of “national separatists” and “illegal religious activists” and the other 52 Uighurs were imprisoned under these names on this day.
In April of the last year Chinese government started “Hard Strike” campaign with the purpose of destroying national development of Uighurs, this campaign will continue till the end of this year, at the very beginning of this campaign, i.e. from 21st of April till 29th of April of the last year Chinese Authorities sentenced more than 500 Uighurs to the different terms of imprisonments and to death. At the first month of this campaign only in Kashgar 186 Uighurs had been arrested under the name of “national separatists” and “illegal religious activists”, 153 of them sentenced to the different terms of imprisonment and to death without proves. This was published in newspapers and now after one year Chinese government is still continuing “Hard Strike” campaign and sentencing a lot of Uighurs to the different terms of imprisonment and to death.
According to other records, Chinese government is planning to launch a new campaign under the name of “ideological battle against national separatists” and trying to oppress Uighurs to learn a new false history of Eastern Turkestan issued by Chinese authorities and increasing political pressure on Uighur writers and poets.
     While United Nations Organization is trying to organize the meeting on human rights, Chinese government’ pressure on Uighurs and violation of their human rights is showing that China is neglecting the international laws and the world international organizations should ask strongly Chinese authorities to stop violations of human rights of Uighurs in Eastern Turkestan.
