Dear Admin,

I hope you can put this thread at the top of this board.

=================================================
I friend of mine wrote the following letter to president Obama:

It is simply unacceptable that the President has been silent on the killings of Uighurs in Xinchang and other areas of China. At this point, it literally seems to be kowtowing to the regime in China. I know this language sounds extreme, but silence can be deafening.
President Obama knows well that the Uighurs have been demonized and victims under cover of their religion. The Uighurs detained in Guantanama was a mistake too, as the Administration is aware. Silence now serves only undermine and cover up these mistakes. I believe this is a major miscalculation.
For more than any other reason, the current Administration owes its election to speaking out against a foolish decisions and poor execution in foreign affairs. Now, or perhaps in the future, it risks being accused of abandoning dedication to human rights for political expediency. Where were you, President Obama, when the Chinese cracked down on a normally well-behaved minority?
At the very least, the State Department should be able, in its internal deliberations, to refute the allegations in:
http://www.andyworthington.co.uk/2009/07/14/is-the-world-ignoring-a-massacre-of-uighurs-in-china/
I have no particular knowledge of Mr. Worthington and his work, but he has clearly gathered and organized the evidence well and in one place. We owe it to our conscience to refute this evidence. The charges are simply too grave.
American interests, democracy, and the constitution itself are never served by looking the other way in situations of injustice.

=========================================
The same friend of mine wrote the following to the State Department:

It is simply unacceptable that the President has been silent on the killings of Uighurs in Xinchang and other areas of China. At this point, it literally seems to be kowtowing to the regime in China. I know this language sounds extreme, but silence can be deafening.
State has to take the lead in correcting this miscalculation. From a partisan point-of-view, not speaking the truth to tyrants has been the opening for the Republican opposition in the past. But forget about this. Our policy is wrong, and, will, sooner, rather than later, be found out and understood as wrong.
I ask that Secretary Clinton insist, in the internal deliberations of State, at least that the allegations made here:
http://www.andyworthington.co.uk/2009/07/14/is-the-world-ignoring-a-massacre-of-uighurs-in-china/
be refuted. I have no particular knowledge of Worthington or his website, but I do have knowledge of the issues in Xinchang. I feel that Worthington well summarized the case against the Chinese, and, therefore, the case against our deafening silence. Finding truth in half the allegations put forth is grounds enough for the Secretary and the President to speak out.
Please reconsider our cowardly stance on this issue.

4. Exiled Tibetans express solidarity with uyghur uprising
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jul 10th, 2009 - By NVO Bureau

Dharamshala: Five major Tibetan NGOs express its deep concern over the tragic events that are unfolding in East Turkistan (Ch: Xinjiang). We call on the government of China to release those who have been detained for peaceful protest, restore internet and mobile telephone communication to Urumqi, permit unfettered access to journalists, cease its propaganda campaign that is contributing to the violence, and allow the United Nations to conduct an independent investigation. We also send our message of solidarity to Rebiya Kadeer and to members of the World Uyghur Congress at this tragic time.

As with the peaceful protests that spread across Tibet last year, the Chinese Government is following the same approach it used to "manage" the situation there including:

1.Tightly controlling foreign media (some of whom are in Urumqi on a government-organised tour).
2.Shutting down internet and mobile telephone access to prevent information getting out of the region and control what its own citizens are told about events.
3.Conducting night-time raids which have led to the arrests of many hundreds of people.
4.Flooding news broadcasts with images and statements that present protestors solely as violent rioters, thereby inciting ethnic conflict.
Without proof, blaming the expression of legitimate grievances on "hostile foreign forces" (in East Turkestan's case, Rebiya Kadeer and the World Uyghur Congress; in Tibet's case, the Dalai Lama and his followers).

"We echo Rebiya Kadeer's urgent call for peace, justice and the end of all violence and appeal to the Chinese government to end its brutal suppression of Uyghurs throughout East Turkestan", said Ven. Ngawang Woeber, spokesperson of the five NGOs. "In a successive turn of events, Preisdent Hu Jintao is impelled to skip the G8 summit and head back to China from Pisa airport to safe his face from embarrassment during the G8 summit. This face-saving measure to avoid facing the international media and being swamped with questions, projects utter failure in the policy adopted by Chinese government in East Turkestan and for that matter in Tibet as well."

Despite China's occupation of Tibet and East Turkestan for over half a century, Tibetans and Uygurs have never accepted Chinese rule and continue to advocate for basic freedom and human rights. By denying Tibetans and Uyghurs control over their own lives, the Chinese government's policies in Tibet and East Turkestan are destroying stability, not creating it.

Sixteen months after a wave of overwhelmingly peaceful protests began to sweep across the Tibetan plateau, Tibet remains under virtual martial law, with more than 1,000 people still unaccounted for, who were detained during the period of unrest. More than 200 Tibetans have been killed during the protests and hundreds more arrested and sentenced, including four men and one woman sentenced to death for taking part in the protests in Lhasa on 14 March 2008.

We fear that, as in Tibet, the Chinese authorities will ascend their crackdown in East Turkestan with lengthy prison sentences, disappearances and beatings. As with Tibet, we call on the international community to press the government of China to work sincerely towards bringing about a peaceful resolution to the 50-year long occupation of East Turkestan.

I am very disappointed uighurs PR skills, and questioned myself about the role of WUC and UAA. The people just are ignoring the genocide. In order to have something from American GOV, you need to win hearts of american public as you did in Turkey. IF not, stop bullshitting and asking Obama to say something. I am also very disappointed by every memeber of UAA and Nury Turkel's comment on Aljeziro and NPR. I understand you did great job, and I am prod of you, your parents are prod of you. But I expected you should have had well round consultation before you came up with the Media. It is the only chance for uighurs to express the feeling. Nury, infact, you did great job on speaking as an American, but I wanted you to speak as an Uighur who were also suffered,and express uigjhurs misery.


However, I am still prod of all you. But I want the uaa to organize a mass compaign about this genocide. Please spend some money and work on this public compaign rather wasting your time with none-sense media. The media comes itself when there is public support. If you don't money spend please ask uyghurs all around world.
