China to Justify Crackdown with the Help of
Beijing-picked Uyghurs
March 2, 2003 (UIA) – China is going to further
justify the hard-handed policy toward the Uyghur
people this week during the two major conferences in
Beijing with the support of handpicked Uyghur
delegates by the authorities, a Uyghur dissident in
Sweden said.
According to Dilshat Rishit, the Chinese authorities
are ready to take advantage of the party-coached
recommendations to be offered by the Uyghur delegates
attending the National People’s Congress and People’s
Political Consultative Conference, and take a tougher
policy toward the Uyghur people.
Mr. Rishit said, “China is trying to ward off the
international pressure with the help of these
handpicked Uyghur delegates and legitimize its
crackdown of the Uyghur people”.
“These Uyghur delegates were never elected by the
Uyghur people. They were all handpicked by Beijing to
serve China’s political interests in the highest level.
China will use them to deceive the world by showcasing
their participation in the conferences.”
He said, China, in order to justify further crackdown
of the Uyghur people through the mouth of Uyghur “leaders”,
tells the Uyghur delegates what to recommend before
the conferences, then, in their name adopt measures to
further persecute the Uyghurs.
Sources from Beijing said, 96 delegates from
“Xinjiang” have come to Beijing to attend two
conferences. 60 out of 96 will attend the National
People’s Congress while 36 out of 96 will attend the
People’s Political Consultative Conference this week.
