Uighur Women in Cruel Oppression



For the March-eighth International Women’s Day

Memet Hebibulla

My best festival greetings to all hardworking women and kindest mothers in the world!

Most of the world’s mature boys and girls not only have the rights to decide when they have their marriages but also have the rights to have their babies whenever they believe appropriate. This might be one of the most basic human rights. However, Uighur women, under Chinese rule, have never been enjoying this basic right. Instead, they have been living in suffer and humiliation.

The Chinese invaders, without the any knowledge of native peoples, cause the mass migration of Chinese people. As a result, the Chinese population, in Eat Turkistan, has increased several folds since 1980. At the same time, the Chinese government cruelly imposed the so called Birth Control policy, to the native peoples such as Uighur, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Tatar, Tajik, Mongol and Tongan, which caused the deaths of 8.5 million babies in East Turkistan from the year 1988 to 2001; the Chinese created the world record in Fascism.

Evil but pretended to be good by given as family planning, the policy kills babies, destroys mothers’ human dignities, deprives them from basic human rights, deprives human love and human loyalty. The policy has been disabling millions of Uighur women mentally as well as physically. It has been the cause of deaths of many Uighur women. It has been one of the causing factors of the poverties of Uighur families.

If the crimes of Chinese invaders in East Turkistan, even in a short period of 16 years, were written, it would be many volumes of books!

The evil Chinese government imposed two-child policy on city and town dwellers and three-child policy on the most suffering and the poorest peoples, who have medieval lives in the 21st century. In addition to that, the Chinese government creates new evil policies each year such as late marriage, giving permission to have the first child only after three years of marriage and allowing to have the second one three years after the birth of the first etc. The aim is to cause the decrease of native population.

The invaders policy causes the suffering of Uighur women by depriving them from the rights of human love, motherly passion and human desires. It is the cause of many family tragedies.

The government forces the Uighur girls to have diaphragms, as a contraceptive method, when they are getting married. For the one who dares to refuse it, the marriage certificate would not be issued. She has to have the diaphragm again after the birth of first child. The women who refuses to do so or the one who is pregnant even after the diaphragm would be taken to maternity department of a hospital, with a police car or with an ambulance or with a truck, just as a criminal who has been taken to be executed. The neighborhood community or the village heads and police come together and forced doctors to do the abortion. The near born baby is killed inhumanely by injecting poison then the body to be thrown in to a rubbish bin or fried together with placenta and eaten by Chinese officials as an accompanying dish for their alcoholic drinks. The number of baby eating officials has been increasing recently.

Childless Uighur couples who want to adopt others’ out-planned children are not allowed. Instead, the babies are killed. In addition to killing her baby, the mother is fined heavily. Because, she refuses the slavery and does not unconditionally obey, what she has been ordered. If she is unable to pay the fine and the cost of the abortion, the government authorities will take her belongs such as furniture, cattle and pets, crops for food and even destroy her house to get the roof-limbs. This type of inhuman treatments have led many Uighur women have mental illnesses, women’ diseases and brain damages. Many young Uighur women have been dying with suffer.

Tursunjan Hamdul, from Shayar county of Aksu prefecture, got married to Zaynap’han. Their marriage was a late marriage and had a child after three years in response to the Chinese policy. After giving the birth for her first child, Zaynap’han had the diaphram. Unfortunately, after a period of time, she was pregnant again. Tursun Hamdul and Zaynap’han believed the second child was legal and went to Family Planning Committee of the county and applied for a certificate for giving her second child.

The Family Planning Committee, the committee which directly helps to impose the ethnic genocide policy of invader government, ordered them to abort. The reason was the period between the two children was less than three years.

After returning back home, Zaynap’han and her husband had planned to protect the baby and decided giving the birth in secret. A few days before the day of the birth, the Family Planning Committee officials and police found her by a sudden search. They ordered them to pay 50 thousand Yuan (equals to US$6100, this is a huge sum of money for the poor Uighurs in East Turkistan), they caught Zaynap’han and detained her. The baby is to be aborted.

Tursun Hamdul pleaded her relatives to lend him the money but it was found impossible. He then went to the Family Planning Committee and pretended to persuade her for voluntary abortion. He took Zaynap’han away, in the midnight, when guards were asleep. They came their house and got their first child and gave up their hometown, where their ancestors lived generation after generation, and all the belongings fled to other place and lived in hiding and being hired by private people. The couple and the children survived for three years by changing their names and working hard.

Considering that the invader government had forgotten them and desperately missing their hometown, they returned back to the Shayar County. However, as soon as they arrived, the Chinese police came and ordered Tursun Hamdul to pay the 50 thousand fine. He had to pay the money or stay in detention. Believing the two children and the mother would be in very difficulty if he chose to stay in prison, he agreed to pay the money. They got all of their savings and borrowed from his relatives. At last they had 25 thousand Yuan to give the police. He had to promise paying other half in 6 months’ time. Knowing that it was impossible to earn so much money in 6 month, they had to escape to other places once again.

Tursun Hamdul and Zaynap’han’s hometown was their lives, they loved it and they loved human kindness. They had to give up everything. This is because of the oppression by the Chinese authorities.

Less educated Chinese from provinces such as Shandong, Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei have been occupying our lands and our other properties forcibly vacated and given up by thousands of Uighurs like Tursun Hamdul and Zaynap’han. The Chinese have been enjoying to have free land, water, houses and permanent jobs; their positions are getting higher and higher; they are getting riches and richer. The hungry Chinese, who once coming by train, to East Turkistan, crowded males and females together under the chairs and on the passage ways, scratching their itchy bodies which full of fleas and lice and always disturbing other passengers, now cleaned themselves by dirtying the fresh water of Heavenly Mountain. Wearing a pair of 8-Yuan worth of sunglasses and smiling like a ghost, he has been known as the party boss, the county head or the director. They are so arrogant and live inhumanly in any single day. In actual case, they have been backed by millions of soldiers.

In this day, in many countries in the world, hundred millions of women sending best wishes to each other, celebrating each other’s festival. However, millions of women, in East Turkistan, are crying under cruel, inhuman, loveless, Chinese invaders’ regime. Their hearts have been broken, their families have been impoverished. They have been suffering... They are not able to enjoy to have a night out; in a restaurant or attending a music night. They have got nothing but God. They are in tears! They are bleeding! They are dying!

There was a festival celebration on 6th of March in the afternoon in a big restaurant in Kashgar. The attendants are the head of Health Bureau of Kashgar Prefecture, Gulnisa, the vice heads, administrative officials of the hospitals and the party bosses in health systems. They were proud of and celebrated on their achievements in killing so many babies, making suffer so many women, in the last 16 years in Kashgar prefecture which has a total population of 5 million.

Gulnisa was the head of the Family Planning (which is actually a committee of killing Uighur babies and making the Uighur women suffer) Committee of Kashgar prefecture in the 1990s. As she did more than ordered, she appointed as the head of the Health Bureau of Kashgar.

In this pre-celebration in Kashgar, the genocidal Chinese top officials drank the blood and ate the flesh of millions of Uighur babies and Uighur women. After the feast, the drunken officials were taken to their houses with luxurious cars. The day was cold but millions of Uighur women in Kashgar were working and struggling in farm fields and hills for survival. They were working under strict surveillance of so-called Poverty relief, Violence Prevention, Fighting against Ethnic Separatism, Compulsory Chinese Language Education…
