China Said 1300 Uyghurs were
arrested
2009-01-05
Chinese state media said on Sunday that more than
1300 Uyghurs were arrested for terorisim ,
religious extremism and for state security charges
in East Turkistan ( Xinjiang) perior to the
Olympics in last year.
Although Chinese government said that arrest made
to keep security of China, since Uyghur separatist
stir up unrest to sabotage the 2008 Olympic Games
in Beijing, local Uyghurs informed ETIC that most
of the unrest were caused by harsh repression and
ethnic cleansing policy of Chinese government
against the Uyghurs.
Uyghurs were 17 million people according to Uyghur
sources in East Turkistan. According to Chinese
government statistics there is only 4% Han Chinese
in 1949 when Chinese communist party invaded East
Turkistan. Currently population of Han Chinese is
more than 48% and China continuously immigrating
millions of Han Chinese every year into East
Turkistan, rapidly exploiting natural resources.
Uyghurs were segregated, largely unemployed and
harshly pressured under the Chinese state terror.
Wide spread arrest were intensified each year
through various regular based hide strike
campaigns in East Turkistan without any evidence
but based on police imagination.
ETIC estimates numbers of arrest in 2008 are far
greater than the 1300 people that China announced.
