China crushing Uighurs / Uyghurs - Rebiya Kadeer

China has been accused of conducting a 'campaign of ethnic genocide' against Uighurs.

the chinese commnist party's fear of the Uighur resentment towards them, clearly proves that Uighurs oppose the chinese rule and wish to be free and independent, its the result of the abuse of the human rights, torture of innocent human rights activists, illegal imprisonment of political activists without fair trials, and the mass immigration of the han chinese from the china proper into the land of the Uighurs, Uyghurstan, plus the extent of inequality of job opportunities, career paths and racial discrimination. The Uighurs of the so called xinjiang under the chinese repressive rule go through this everyday.

Rebiya Kadeer is an ethnic Uighur who was imprisoned by the Chinese in 1999, and released in 14 March 2005.

The ethnic identity of Uighurs in western China is being systematically eroded. Government policies, including those that limit use of the Uighur language, severe restrictions on freedom of religion, and a sustained influx of Han Chinese migrants into the region, are destroying customs and, together with employment discrimination, fuelling discontent and ethnic tensions. The government has mounted an aggressive campaign that has led to the arrest and arbitrary detention of thousands of Uighurs on charges of 'terrorism, separatism and religious extremism' for peacefully exercising their human rights.

Uighurs are a Turkic speaking, mainly Sunni Islamic ethnic group with a long history at the heart of central Asia. In China, they are concentrated in the western region of the country, an area historically claimed by competing empires, warlords and ethnic groups. In 1949, the region was integrated into the People's Republic of China. In 1955, the People's Republic of China established the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR), in recognition of the Uighurs' predominance in the region, a status which according to the Chinese Constitution entitles ethnic minorities to organs of self-government in order to exercise autonomy.

According to the latest Chinese census in 2000, there are more than 18 million people living in the XUAR, of whom 47 per cent are Uighurs, 40 per cent are Han Chinese and 12 per cent are other ethnic groups, including Kazakhs, Kyrgyzs, Tatars, Uzbeks and Tajiks. The Han Chinese population has increased significantly from an estimated 6 per cent in 1949 due to central government policies that include providing financial incentives to Han Chinese who migrate to the region.

Fuel For Discontent - discrimination and forced labour
The Chinese state has failed to protect Uighurs from employment discrimination which has resulted in extremely high rates of unemployment among Uighurs in the XUAR and fuelled discontent. Many Uighurs report seeing 'Uighurs need not apply' signs posted by employers at job fairs demonstrating the state's inaction in enforcing anti-discrimination laws. Even university graduates who speak fluent Chinese have difficulty finding employment.

Merhaba Rebiya Kadeer,

I am from Turkiye and we love Uyghurs very much! You guys amaze me with your brave struggle for the pursuit for freedom! You are letting Chinese dog-eating barbarians know that you won't have them let your spirits down! Chinese are sick cruel people who are not humans but animals. God bless Uyghur people! You are the pride of the Turanic race!
