China Found New Excuse Again for Arbitrary Arrest

2009-01-08

Chinese state media reported that security beuro of Xinjiang Autonomous Region call meeting in March 6th and stressed the stability of East Turkistan during the global financial crisis.
Chinese security officials said: “crack down on the ’three evil forces' - terrorism, separatism and extremism - is a main aspect of stability of Xinjiang.

Three evil forces may appear again to against government policies during the global financial crisis. We must efficiently use government funds to crack down them.”

It is clear to the Chinese government that Uyghurs will suffer more than any other nation in China during the financial crisis, since most of the Uyghurs were unemployed and living under the poverty line. However, the Chinese government is prepared to crack down on Uyghurs that pressured with hunger and may possibly express their dissatisfaction to the Chinese government, instead of concerning the poverty relief.

Since China occupied East Turkistan, Chinese government used various excuse to crackdown Uyghurs . “Every year new excuse and new campaign .. We couldn’t imagine what kind excuse they will find, It is surprise” said Uyghurs from Urumchi.

Surprisingly, they used the global financial crisis in this year as another excuse to crack down on Uyghurs.

According to Chinese media more than 20 Uyghurs were arrested from Lopnur county and Ependi county in this year, just because they have practiced religion at home.

Chinese police forces believe that Uyghurs are becoming more religious because of financial crisis and being religious could be dangerous to the government.
