Our claims are proved by facts

East Turkistan Information Center  [Friday, 21 December, 2001]

(denouncement to words of Rishat Niyaz, a deputy secretary of religious and national affairs of X.A.U.R.)

Recently, according to the news distributed by Chinese media (a Beijing based Zhongguo Times newspaper) on December 7th, there was an article regarding to the reports of Eastern Turkistan Informational Center from Munich, Germany on the latest events after September 11th developments in Eastern Turkistan. The Chinese officials have totally denied our reports that in Eastern Turkistan after the events of September 11th more than 3000 Uighur were arrested by police on political grounds and on worsening conditions of Human Rights situation in the region. To prove their credibility there was a statement of Rishat Niyaz a deputy secretary of religious and national affairs of X.A.U.R. released “The information distributed by Eastern Turkistan Informational Center is totally wrong, there were no political, social changes occurred in Xinjiang after the September 11th”. It is to be mentioned first Eastern Turkistan Informational Center is the only single informational source of Uighurs suffering under the communist China in the free world, which delivers first-hand, liable information. Our work as an informational center is totally based on principles of the free speech, proven, liable and factual reporting. Our reports on Eastern Turkistan and China are based on media news sources distributed in China itself and anonymous journalists (absolutely kept secret) reporting from the region.

After the September 11th, we have made reports with the proofs on several occasions on intensified crackdown on Uighur by Chinese government, which portrays them as “terrorists” and using the pretend to fight with terrorism as a cloak to suppress Uighur in Eastern Turkistan. Our Sweden based journalist Dilshat Reshit edited the Chinese government denounced article. Where it was stated along the other information the detention on political ground of 3000 Uighurs after the September 11th events. The concern about the recent developments in Eastern Turkistan was clearly reflected by UN, American and European parliaments and other human rights watch committees. For example the US president Bush, a chairman of human rights committee Md.Marry Robinson and European members of parliament expressed their concerns to the Chinese government. This is alone a sufficient proof to our claims. Moreover the world knows what is the real policies of communist China are in hiding the truth.

It is not hard to imagine that the government which is tried to hide events of July 4th 1989 events on Tiananmin squire from the world community will try to do the same for the 3000 detained Uighurs in Eastern Turkistan. It is to be mentioned that lying and oppressing is the one of the main characteristics of the communist China.

Therefore there was no need to respond to the Chinese officials lies. But we, once again, would like to mention facts distributed in Chinese official papers regarding to the developments after the September 11th and proving the worsening conditions in EasternTurkistan. For instance, the head of the public security of XUAR Jang on the conference meeting on September 25 in Urumchi on “Strike Hard” campaign pronounced that that in September month alone 210 “separatists” were arrested. His statements were published and distributed for the internal information of public security office the same week’s edition. On October 27th in “Urumchi Evening Daily” it was a report of arrest of 150 people on involvement in illegal religious affairs and separatism. On November 14th edition of “Xinjiang Newspaper” it was mentioned the arrest of 121 people on ground of separatism. And again in this newspaper according to the information provided by Railroad Police head it was mentioned the arrest of 181 people and charges made on them as terrorism and separatism. In “Aqsu Newspaper” December 6th it was mentioned the arrest of 30 people within a month. And again in Chinese published newspaper of “Tarim” from the 1 division of Aqsu it was mentioned the arrest of 10 people in November. All of detainees were Uighur and they were charged with “illegal religious activities”, “separatism” and “terrorism”. It is to mention that these arrested are just small fraction of those arrested by Chinese and acknowledged officially. Because of the absence of the free speech in China and secrecy surrounding arrests the actual figure of those arrested is hard to estimate. It might be obtained from the internal police reports. Therefore our information sources from eastern Turkistan are able to get such evidences by means of the corrupted government structure.

For instance the Chinese officials show in their statistics the number of those arrested. Eastern Turkistan Informational Center including those shown in official statistics to the number of estimated 3000 detainees including those who is not charged but held in jails in suspicion grounds. These practices of jailing without proving the guilt are very common in the region. Chinese police is justified in arresting and imprisoning Uighurs just on the ground of suspicion. Because the Regional Party Chief said “let arrest thousand innocent but not let away a single separatist, first arrest then question” and gave a guidance for his subordinates. And the words of Rishat Niyaz, a deputy secretary of religious and national affairs of X.A.U.R. is not more just a flattering to his bosses. If Chinese government is indeed wants to prove the opposite why would it not invite Western observers to the region to investigate the situation and making it easy to denounce our reports? Will this government be ready to this? NO! Because it is afraid to death to reveal the real state of things in Eastern Turkistan and to reveal its fascist policies to the world!!!

At the end we want to say the statements of Rishat Niyaz are false, because his is just a puppet in Chinese hands and in no way represent Uighur nation. Chinese government always puts those like him forward when it comes to lie in favour of communist China. Those sold out Uighurs and trying to represent Uighur nation,
falsify facts to the world community. By doing this they serving not to Uighur nation but rather to their Chinese masters!!!
