Block the communication line: is to
hide Chinese Crackdown on Uyghurs
2009-08-07
East Turkistan Information center learned that 300
Uyghur men were arrested in Urumchi in August 4th
with no excuse. Chinese official media did not
report the news, but several Chinese police
revealed the news proudly in Urumchi café to their
foreign friends: “ it is busy and fun day today,
we caught 300 fish…. Who cares if they were
innocent, having Uyghur men in Urumchi is not safe
for our society….”
According to some eyewitness accounts, Chinese
armed police searching house to house arresting
Uyghurs males over 15 with the excuse of relation
to unrest that occurred on July 5. But, August 4th
arrest was done without such excuse, since most of
these arrested Uyghurs were new comers to Urumchi
after july 5th unrest to look for their missing
relatives. In july 30, Chinese government
published most wanted list of 15 people including
two women and only one Han ethnic men to justify
searching Uyghur houses mainly. However, the
photos of the Uyhgurs in “most wanted list” were
very likely had been taken in the prison, faces of
the pictures are show anger and some injures.
Uyghurs suspect that those wanted people may had
been already executed and publicized as a most
wanted people to cover up the unfair execution .
in July 19 Financial Times report stated that more
than 4,000 Uyghurs had been arrested and that
Urumchi’s prisons were so full that detainees were
being held in People’s Liberation Army warehouses.
East Turkistan Information Center learned that
number of arrested Uyghurs were and exceeded from
4000 since july19. According to Uyghur sources
10,000 Uyghurs missing in Urumchi. Many Uyghur
families who failed to escape were attacked by Han
mobs and slaughtered in Yamanliq tag district in
Urumchi that remote from other Uyghur residential
areas. According to unofficial statistics more
than 1000 Uyghur families live in the district.
Internet service and phone line was blocked since
July 5th. There are no sign from Chinese
government yet when it is possible to access
communication line of the region.
President of East Turkistan Information Center
Abdujelil Karakash said: “Chinese government block
communication line of the region to hide ongoing
Chinese state terror followed the july 5th unrest
in East Turkistan”
