Chinese media should be ashamed of its unstable lies
20.04.2009 01:42
Recently ETIC has learned and has published that China has launched a 15 days of mass arrest campaign beginning on July 1st to July the 15th in East Turkistan. We have also learned that soon after the mass arrest campaign has started, so called “chase after three evil forces” (terrorists, separatists and religious extremist) special police force division designated for mass arrest campaign has terrorized Uyghurs in Urumchi and has attacked Uyghur former prisoners, all Uyghur civilians who are not Urumchi residents, and Uyghurs who are seen as suspicious. July 8, this police force has killed five Uyghurs who have resisted arrest, injured two and arrested eight in Urumchi’s “morning light” garden area. Police did not disclose the reasons for which these Uyghurs had been attacked, but one of the official Chinese web sites, Tianshan news net and official Chinese media: Urumchi Evening News wrote the following immediately after the incident: “The Urumchi city police has arrested a group of suspect criminals in the “Morning Light” area, they were confronted with violent resistance, have killed five people, injured two and arrested eight. A certain number of knives has been seized. “Three of the suspects were accused of breaking in to a beauty salon with knives and injuring the owner, on May 23, the report said. No other information has been provided as to why all of them were arrested while there are only three suspects, and why the others were killed. After these news have spread to the foreign media, the violence of the Chinese police officers has shocked the world. The Chinese media took immediate media coverage to find an excuse for the “chase three evil forces” special police division’s violent actions, and Xinhua news agency issued an article in English, giving explanation to the international community. It said that special police forces officers have found a group of 15 people gathered in a room that have resisted arrests, used knives, and shouted slogans like “sacrifices for Allah”. Once again, yesterday, on July 12, Tianshan net has added a story saying that these 15 people, including five women, belong to a jihad training organization and wrote: “According to the reports, and the initial police interrogation, the arrested criminal suspects were called to participate in a jihad training organization. The women called themselves the “sister holy war”, their aim being to kill Han (infidels), in order to establish their own “Caliphate” state. However, no matter how hard the Chinese media tries to make the story sound credible, and turn it into a conflict against the terrorist militants, the lack of evidence proving the existence of the jihad training turns it to ridicule. Those young Uighurs were only equipped with knives. It is hard to believe that a group of people could believe that they could successfully fight billions of Chinese people and establish a “caliphate” with knives. “China hasn’t kept its promise, given to the world in 2001, when the Olympic torch was handed over to China”. Therefore, it’s no surprise that the media would convey whatever information that the Chinese government finds to be suitable for its own purposes, and not the truth, said Abdujelil Karakash, President of ETIC. It is very normal for Uighurs living in Urumchi to share an apartment. When Uighur farmers were deprived of their property by the Chinese Government, they were forced to move to the cities to look for menial jobs. For financial limitations, they lived together and shared the rent. According to several unofficial sources in East Turkistan, the possibility of these people being young Uighur farmers looking for employment in Urumchi is very high; the women could be visiting girlfriends. Although the Chinese Government has arrested many innocent Uighurs, suspecting them of terrorism, and the media has supported that idea, by trying to link Uighurs with some international terrorist organizations, not one terrorist incident has been reported that would be supported by evidence linking Uighurs with any international terrorist organization.. ... |
