Uyghur Human Rights has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
On July 5, 2009 the Chinese government massacred the Ugyhur protestors.They killed thousands of Uyghurs and arrested more than ten thousands. On July 6, 2009, a group of evil Chinese and Chinese military continued to kill whatever Uyghur they saw: children, students, women, men...every kind of Uyghurs. This is only one small example of their vileness.
China has been massacring Uyghurs for over 6 decades, yet the world has turned a blind eye.The Uyghurs want their justice...they want FREEDOM. The events that took place in July sends a clear message to the world that the Uyghur voice must be heard....that China's state sponsered terror can no longer be tolerated. IS THE WORLD JUST GOING TO SIT AND WATCH THE MASSACRE?

Uyghur-American lawyer and activist Nury A. Turkel discusses the plight of the Uyghurs from Xinjiang Province to Guantanamo Bay. Foreign ExchangeTV September 25, 2009 - Show 611
China's vast northwest province of Xinjiang is home to a minority Muslim population known as the Uyghurs. Like neighboring Tibet, its people face similar problems: religious restrictions, forced abortions, imprisonment and execution. Yet the plight of Uyghurs is underreported and largely ignored in the West. They practice a moderate interpretation of Islam. They are without a prominent leader or the romantic allure that draws so much attention to Tibet. The Chinese government explains its heavy hand by labeling the Uyghurs as separatists and-after September 11th-as terrorists. This Stanley Foundation video, filmed in November 2008, explores China's treatment of its Uyghur population through interviews with various experts and a visit to Xinjiang province.

Rebiya Kadeer is a prominent Uighur businesswoman and activist from Chinas Xinjiang region. She saw Shen Yun in Washington, DC last week, and says the show appealed to her on many levels. [Rebiya Kadeer, Uighur Activist]: I especially liked the Buddhas at the very, very end. And I also liked the Tibetan one, the Mongolian one. I liked them all. Each performance seemed to get better and better. The singers were also especially good. The two singers, the man and the woman, were both very good. Their voices were very good. And they looked very pretty. Everything is very good. Ten years ago, when Kadeer was still living in China, she was imprisoned after she criticized the Chinese regimes brutal response to a protest in Xinjiang. A Shen Yun performance about Falun Gong practitioners resisting persecution brought back memories of what she had seen in prison. [Rebiya Kadeer, Uighur Activist]: When I was in jail, I saw Falun Gong practitioners being beaten. And then I saw someones leg being broken. I saw it with my own eyes. He was next to me. Because I see them as heroes... Although a lot of people were beating him, he did not even make a sound. I was thinking about it a lot. So today I am really touched.

(CNN) -- The US State Department said Sunday it was "deeply disturbed" at the deportation of 20 Uyghur asylum seekers from Cambodia back to China. The deportation "will affect Cambodia's relationship with the US and its international standing," said acting State Department spokesman Gordon Duguid in a statement. It occurred on Saturday at the request of China, the US said. "The United States is deeply concerned about the welfare of these individuals, who had sought protection under international law," Duguid said. "We are also deeply disturbed that the Cambodian government decided to forcibly remove the group without the benefit of a credible process for determining refugee status and without appropriate participation by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees." Kitty McKinsey, a coordinator with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees agency in Asia, told CNN on Saturday that the refugees had been seeking asylum. China's northwestern region was wracked by ethnic violence between Han Chinese and Uyghur Muslims earlier this year, and the Uyghurs fled to Cambodia to escape the unrest. McKinsey said the UNHCR considers the deportation a breach of international law, and Uyghur human rights activists have expressed concern about the move. The Uyghur American Association also expressed concern in a statement. The 20 were held in handcuffs and leg shackles and were not given any food to eat on Friday, according to the association. They were part of a group of 22 ...
On Saturday night under cover of darkness, a special Chinese plane departed from the military section of the Phnom Penh airport carrying 20 Uighur asylum seekers. For this group of men, women and children, this was the end of their failed effort to seek freedom from the Chinese regime. Cambodia's decision to deport the asylum seekers, who were in the process of applying for refugee status at the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, is a reminder that Beijing's oppression of the Uighurs does not stop at China's borders. The Uighurs are a predominantly Turkic, Muslim people who live in East Turkestan (also knows as the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region). For decades they have been the victims of systemic human-rights abuses at the hands of the Chinese government. Fearing further persecution, these 20 Uighurs had fled to Cambodia in November with the assistance of Christian aid groups. The Cambodian Foreign Affairs Ministry initially declared it would cooperate with the UNHCR regarding the asylum interview process, but, in an about-face with tragic consequences, two days later issued a proclamation of "illegal entry" by the 20 Uighurs. UNHCR officials had yet to finish reviewing their cases when the Uighurs were handcuffed and forcefully taken from UNHCR protection by Cambodian authorities. China's track record of mistreating repatriated Uighur refugees leads us to fear that they can expect even worse on Chinese soil. There's little hope these ...

Please take the time to study the video, when the Uyghurs protest holding the Chinese flag (flag standing for unity) and demonstrate peacefully the report goes out as a "RIOT" (when in fact the riot was caused by the Police themselves). But when the Chinese come out with bats, knives, hammers and chant "kill all Uyghurs" the report goes out as a "Han Chinese Protest"....Apparently here, they are "protesting" against Uyghur separatists....if those who caused the "RIOT" were separatists, why did those "separatist" Uyghurs start the protest holding the Chinese flag standing for unity???? There are so many holes in the Chinese story, and yet the world is eating it up, because it is easier to copy and paste then to do your own research and find the truth. Also if you study all videos regarding this incident, UYGHUR women with nothing in their hands are clubbed by the police and held back, the Han Chinese Men/Women with weapons in their hands chanting "kill Uyghurs" don't even have any police in front of them, and the few police that are there are aiding them. How is this fair???
Uyghur protest in Urumchi

Rebiya Kadeer's past exemplifies China's policy on ethnic harmony www.chinadaily.com.cn www.chinaview.cn 2009-07-09 20:13:42 .. by Xinhua writer Tian Ye BEIJING, July 9 (Xinhua) -- If Rebiya Kadeer, the leader of the World Uygur Congress, thought about her own past, she would count herself among the numerous Uyghurs who had benefited from China's policies to promote ethnic harmony. The tale of Kadeer, who spent 40 years in Xinjiang and was listed as the richest woman in Xinjiang and the eighth richest on the mainland by Forbes in 1995, is a rags-to-riches story. But AFP on Monday quoted Kadeer as saying the deeper cause of Sunday's riot in China's far northwest Xinjiang, which left at least 156 dead, was "six decades of Chinese rule, during which the Uyghurs have endured a litany of human rights abuses such as arbitrary detention, torture, discrimination, religious repression, forced abortion and removing Uighur language teaching from schools." "Abuse" is hardly an appropriate word to describe the lives of Uyghurs in Xinjiang -- least of all in her own life, which started off in poverty, but later flourished on Chinese soil. She built her business empire and became "The Millionairess" in Xinjiang within 10 years. But, if her allegations of "discrimination" against the Chinese government were true, only Han Chinese would have been allowed such opportunities. Her identity as a Uygur also allowed her to have six children while most of her Han counterparts were limited to one ...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY DUTCH PEOPLE, YOU LET OUW VOICE HEARED
Violence broke out in up to four neighbourhoods in the western Chinese city of Urumqi on Tuesday, according to witnesses. A group of armed Han Chinese people were seen marching towards an ethnic minority Uighur neighbourhood. Uighurs and security forces were also out on the streets. Al Jazeera's Melissa Chan reports on the third day of unrest in Xinjiang province, where authorities say 156 people have died so far. ============================ China: Uighur ethnic identity under threat in China Posted: 06 July 2009 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 ...

STORY: Rebiya Kadeer has come a long way. Since her release from a Chinese prison in 2005, the President of the World Uyghur Congress has been touring around the globe to expose human rights abuses suffered by her people in China's Xinjiang province. [Rebiya Kadeer, President, World Uyghur Congress] "Prior the Olympic Games, the Chinese government intensified the persecution on Tibetans, Uyghurs, Falun Gong. There is now more innocent people in jail." Her presence has renewed the attention drawn on the particular case of Canadian citizen Huseyin Celil who was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Communist regime. He was charged with being of being a terrorist, without receiving a fair and public trial. [Alex Neve, Secretary-General, Amnesty International Canada] "Mr. Celil is originally a Uyghur from China and the Chinese government clearly does not like the fact that he has at times been an outspoken advocate of the rights of the Uyghur people. And sadly for Uyghurs who speak up about the rights of their people, the results often are exactly that: arrest, imprisonment, intimidation and harassment." [Chris McLoed, Ross & McBride LLP] "They brought allegations that he is a 'terrorist' but have provided no information or evidence that would lead to that conclusion." The Canadian government's attention to his case seemed to have decreased since the attempts to free him were cut short by the Communist regime. However Ms. Kadeer's meetings with international actors such as US ...
Human rights activist Mrs. Rabiye Qadir She sought political asylum in USA from Chinese Uhygur autonomous region in 2005. Chinese Gov. concluded her a "terrorist". Mrs.Rabiye has accused Chinese Gov. of oppression to Uyghur people peacefully. She attracted public attention. She was nominated for Nobel Peace Prize. She was arrested by China for suspicion of mailing newspaper articles about independence to her husband in US. She spent 6 years in the prison. After she sought political asylum in USA in 2005, she has ran about in the whole world, and talked about the truth in Uyghur. On the other hand, two sons in Uyghur were sent to the prison by Chinese Gov. as if they were made whipping boys for her activity. China has tried assimilating other countries around China including Tibet and Uyghur in the history. Chinese assimilationism is still going on today. China invaded Eastern Turkestan in 1949 and occupied it. Slaughter, torture, sterilization, forced abortion, 50 times of nuclear tests. Since 1949, more than 10000000 Eastern Turkestan people including 8500000 babies were killed by Chinese Gov. In 2007, more than 5000 Uyghur people who were critical to Chinese Gov. were labeled as terrorists and arrested. Today, Chinese Gov. is forcing Uyghur ladies emigrate by 100000 unit and make them work in severe condition. Chinese Gov. has forced Uyghur ladies to marry Chinese men in this way for their assimilationism. Many Uyghurs have been executed by China for suspicion of crime ...
ANCHOR: And in The Netherlands, Chinese Uyghurs held a protest over the weekend. The Uyghurs are an ethnic minority in China's Northwest Xinjiang region, which was formerly known as East Turkestan. Over the weekend, overseas Uyghur activists protested in the Netherlands against human rights abuses in China. Our team in the Netherlands has more. STORY: Uyghur refugees and Several NGOs participated in the protest. They accuse the Chinese regime of eroding the Uyghur way of life, and of directly persecuting Uyghur people. [Unnamed Protester, The Hague]: (DO NOT TITLE BAR) "The Chinese Communist Party abuses human rights, freedom rights, religious rights, labor rights in East Turkestan." A report from the Uyghur Human Rights Project claims more than 4000 young Uyghur women have been forcefully sent to work in Chinese factories. And a UNPO representative said they were targeted because they were Uyghurs. [Radboud Reijn, UNPO Representative]: "They are send there under the banner of 're-education'. But the real purpose is to undermine the Uyghur people in Xinjiang, so that they become an ethnic minority in their own region where they live." Like in Tibet, Uyghur children are educated in Mandarin Chinese instead of their native language. Many ethnic Han Chinese have also settled in the region, and Uyghur activists say the traditional culture of Xinjiang is disappearing. NTD News, The Hague, The Netherlands
Human rights abuses of Uyghur people
Please imagine a believer of GOD or BUDDHA visits a church or a temple and is arrested by police just because he or she does it individually.Can you stand still, seeing this evidence? In the Internet world, rude CCP(Chinese Communist Party) supporters are trying to shut the mouthes of the conscientious persons who are checking communist China's tyranny. We must not stop criticizing China, because CCP suppoters' comments, with many threatening words and little evidence to justify their opinions, are not worth referring to and the supporters are not worth compromising with.

View the entire film at: www.forcedmigration.org One of China's fifty-five nationalities, Uyghurs are a Turkic-Muslim ethnicity from East Turkestan. Reoccupied by the Qing Dynasty in the mid-18th century, this region had become a Chinese province named Xinjiang in 1884 and in 1955, after the communist takeover in late 1949, was reorganized as the Xinjiang-Uyghur Autonomous Region. Claiming Xinjiang as their historical homeland, Uyghurs have tried to gain independence and set up their own state but failed repeatedly. Considering them a separatist and splittist group, Beijing has used a variety of means to crush any sign of restiveness among Uyghurs.
another brutal example of misstreatment of Uighurs by the chinese communist authorities ( china human rights abuse )
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.
