Statement of Mr Togochog Enhebatu, President of
Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Center
"Dear friends from Lao and elsewhere who are fighting
for their people's freedom and human rights: "All
human beings are born free and equal in dignity and
rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience
and should act towards one another in a spirit of
brotherhood". (Art. 1 of the Universal Declaration on
Human Rights). On behalf of 5 million Mongolian people
in the Chinese Communist dictatorship controlled
Southern Mongolia, I congratulate you on your great
effort for the fight for your people's basic human
rights and fundamental freedom. Freedom and human
rights are non-negotiable. Every individual or group
has the rights to live free from the dictatorship.
However, it is impossible that a nation or a people
under dictatorships could gain their freedom and
national liberty without a strong ally of freedom
fighting peoples from the rest of the world."
