Pressure China on civil rights: Uighur leader

Dan Oakes
March 24, 2011AUSTRALIA and other countries need to press China's leadership more on civil rights for ethnic minorities in the Asian giant, according to exiled Uighur activist Rebiya Kadeer.

Speaking at Federal Parliament yesterday, the grandmother and former political prisoner also claimed that the Chinese government was moving young Uighur women from their homeland in the far west of the country to big cities in the east to change the demographics in the Uighur region.

Ms Kadeer called on the Australian government to be more forceful in pursuing the question of human rights during bilateral meetings with the Chinese government.

Ms Kadeer painted a dark portrait of conditions in the Uighur homeland, which the Chinese government calls the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, but the Uighurs call East Turkmenistan.

''An official policy recruits young Uighur women from majority Uighur areas of East Turkmenistan and transfers them to work in factories in urban areas of east China,'' Ms Kadeer said through an interpreter. Already some 400,000 women have been transferred.

Well, China should seriously consider such reservation tactics. BTW, we learn from the most advanced democracy, what can be wrong???

Maybe she should push Chinese government to learn from democratic USA to build reservations for them.

Have you ever heard of “Indian Reservation”? Indian reservation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

President Thomas Jefferson thus wrote:


That’s democracy and human rights from a beacon country. Enjoy.

This "pressuring" would be much more effective if the leader pressured the Xinjiang separatist groups to back down on their terrorist acts first.

Yeah Uyghur leader who doesn't live in Uyghur land No wonder China ignores her the way it does.

 

[pluto]

if separatist, get hell out the way...
if not, please press Chinese government. good for all. it's no big deal to hear different voices, but just no separation. that's the bottom line.
once China get 10 carriers, i don't think any country will dare support separatist.
forgot what American people did to the aboriginal population in North America? Australia forgot because it had to forget, you know, U.S has so many weapons that can wipe out the whole Australia in seconds.

 

[Huan]

That separatist leader is powerless anyways.

400,000 women in factories earning at least 1000 to 2000 yuans a month is abuse of human rights?

They can go back home and earn a third to half that salary or even jobless. China has more than 20 million migrant workers flocking to factories in South China, are they all being forced to go there?
