Statement against the Chinese government’s false propaganda regarding the UIGHUR Act passed by the U.S. House

by Abdurehim Gheni Uyghur

East Turkestan is an occupied nation by China, and Uighurs regard East Turkestan as their homeland and have never been a part of China. The fight between Chinese government and Uighurs are the fight between a colonizer and a nation being colonized.

China have built the most brutal, most evil and massive concentration camps in occupied East Turkestan in front of the whole world in the 21st century. China have devastated the basic international human rights laws and have been conducting an open genocide in East Turkestan. China continued the massacre by accelerating the crack down while ignoring the call by the United Nations on closing the concentration camps and free the innocent people. The Uighur problem cannot be the internal affairs of the Chinese government, it is an international crisis. Uighurs see the problem as a struggle to take back their occupied homeland and do not see the problem as merely a human right abuse. China blames terrorism and extremism for the concentration camps, but Uighurs do not think there is a terror issue in East Turkestan. The only terror that’s destroying innocent lives is the communist China’s state terror to destroy Uighurs using the most brutal means.

The UIGHUR Act passed by the U.S. House is the first step to stop China’s state terror over Uighurs. The UIGHUR Act gave the best spiritual power to Uighurs. We express our most sincere appreciation to the people and the government of the United States of America.

The puppet chair of the Uyghur region, Shohret Zakir and the president of the so-called “Xinjiang Islamic Association”, Abdurekip Tuniyaz are nothing more than two criminal communist officials who are also complicit in the crack down over innocent Uighur people.  None of them represents the real voice of Uighurs whatsoever. Both of them could be removed by the CCP at any time when they are no longer valuable to the Chinese regime, just like what happened to the former puppet chair Nur Bekri who has recently been sentenced for life in prison. Their shameless lie of saying the concentration camps as “vocational training center” will not help China get away from being held accountable for the crimes against humanity committed over Uighurs and other Turkic peoples of East Turkestan. Based on the old Chinese proverb of “Those who are not our kin, are sure to be of a different hear.” those who are not ethnic Han Chinese are always seen as enemy by the Chinese regime. The life sentence of the former regional puppet chair Nur Bekri proves this point.

The lady in the above  picture is Aygul Sultan at the age of 53 is a former worker of Onsu Middle School (in Onsu county of Aksu prefecture) before taken to a concentration camp. This is the picture after the so called “vocational training center”. How can we imagine what is happening to the rest of the more than 3 million innocent people who are locked up in the concentration camps, prisons and slave labor factories? According to numerous report and other information social media, people are being brutally killed, organs are being harvested, women are being sexually abused, gang raped by the camp/prison guards and even forcefully sterilized.

China killed the prominent Uighur religious scholar Muhammed Salih Haji and other Uighur intellectuals! What are their crimes?! Powerless people are seen as “criminals” by the government of communist China who owns second most powerful army in the world.

“Give me liberty, or give me death!” as once said by Patrick Henry. Uighur people have suffered enough, and we want a free and independent country of our own.
