By Mercedes Arancibia – 25/02/2020
The Non -Governmental Organization Avaaz, Defender of Human Rights worldwide, He has started one Signature collection that will present to the UN when, in the next few days, debate about the increasing situation of the minority uigur in china.
“The Coronavirus has placed China on the first page of today but there is another crisis that the country tries to hide the rest of the world. One million uigures are arrested and forcibly indoctrinated by Chinese authorities. Las mujeres son brutalmente torturadas y violadas, y los niños arrebatados a sus padres –dice el comunicado de la campaña- Nuestros gobiernos tienen miedo de reaccionar pero nosotros no”.
Avaaz quiere hacer llegar la voz de los supervivientes –un millón de firmas, una por cada detenido- a los parlamentos de todo el mundo, y presionar a las grandes multinacionales para que se pronuncien en favor de la libertad de los uigures.
Hace décadas que el gobierno de Pekín ha convertido a la minoría uigur, de religión musulmana, en el enemigo. De la vigilancia ha pasado al control, a la represión y hoy “al encarcelamiento masivo y el adoctrinamiento forzoso”. Una represión de tal índole exige una enorme estructura tecnológica, both for the surveillance of public and private spaces and to organize the huge databases and DNA, What is only possible “with the help of the great multinationals that provide capital and technology, In exchange for which Chinese authorities offer forced labor and great benefits” On the investments they make in the surveillance sector.
"Recently, A holocaust survivor suggested the creation of a tenth first commandment for humanity: ‘You won't remain indifferent’. Let's start by asking governments to force Beijing to respect the human rights of the Uigur people and commine investors and directors of companies to break the law of silence and not stay with closed eyes ”.
In October 2019, The French continuous information channel C News (Ancient i-télé) offered the results of a research work carried out by the American newspaper Washington Post about minorities women in China, in which he talked about "violations, sexual humiliations, sterilizations and forced abortions ". The testimonies, collected by the journalist Amnie Ferris-Rotman, They came from women uigures and casket Refugees in Kazakhstan, On the other side of the Chinese border, who had been forced to abort their will in the province of Xinjiang; Others assured that they were placed contraceptive devices and many have been violated or witnessed violations, facts that corroborate local human rights defense organizations (prohibited) And some dissident lawyers “who say they are frequent torture” In the country. Which leads to the conclusion that Chinese authorities are especially against women uigures, and more specifically against the possibility of being reproduced.
The past 21 February 2019, Amnesty International (AI) He made public an investigation that shows that the government of Xi Jinping go on «intimidating the Uigures and other Muslim ethnic groups, even when they have left the country ": “A repression –The statement says- that goes beyond borders ".
The pressures, systematic, They come from Chinese embassies abroad, through Internet messages and telephone calls: “Even when the Uigures and the members of other minorities have escaped persecutions in Xinjiang, The Chinese government finds the means of reaching them, intimidate them (…) and press other governments to be expelled ".
Between September 2018 and September of 2019, AI has collected information from four hundred members of ethnic groups, mostly Muslims, uigures, Kazakh and Uzbekos, installed in twenty -two countries : «His stories show harassment and fear they live daily». Several uigures They have declared that Xinjiang authorities harass their relatives, Others have told that the Chinese authorities have contacted them through social media applications to scare them.
Remember that from 2017 China is carrying out a campaign of mass arrests of Uigures, kazajos y otros grupos étnicos de mayoría musulmana en la provincia de Xinjiang. «It is estimated that at least one million of them are detained in centers of ‘transformation by education’ The 'Professional formal', where numerous human rights violations suffer ”. En los primeros días de esta semana, varios medios de comunicación internacionales han recibido un documento oficial chino de 137 pages, With detailed information about people from Xinjiang, such as their religious customs and personal relationships, specifying whether they are in “reeducation” fields, or not.
“Although China continues to deny the existence of internment fields, The evidence that demonstrates it accumulates- Follow the AI statement- Anyone forwarded to Xinjiang is very likely to be admitted to a field and suffer serious human rights violations. All countries that host people from the Xinjiang diaspora must take measures to protect them and prevent them from being returned to China ”.
