The Communist Party of China (CPC) has doubly fired and opened a case against Yan Zhishun, an official under the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.
Authorities made a high-profile announcement that a top official of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps had been investigated for “illegally copying and storing confidential documents. The Uyghur organization and the “China Telegraph” whistleblower believe that the authorities are trying to create a chilling effect to prevent more evidence of human rights abuses from leaking out, and that information controls are expected to become tighter in the future.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and State Supervision Commission website on Monday (19) informed that the former Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Kunyu City, Pishan Farm, former Party Secretary, political commissar Yan Zhishun, has been filed for review. And give his dismissal from the party, public office discipline.
The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps was allegedly involved in human rights crimes, and its party secretary was earlier sanctioned by a foreign country. Therefore, the notification about Yan Zhishun’s “illegal copying and storage of classified documents” is of particular concern.
We contacted the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Discipline Inspection Commission and asked about the facts of the allegations, but the other side said they were “not sure”.
The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Discipline Inspection Commission staff said: this side of me is not clear, do not know.
The briefing said that Yan Zhishun “as a leading party member cadres, deviated from the original mission, the lack of political awareness, disloyalty and dishonesty to the party, no rules, do not know the fear.
In response, Germany-based World Vision spokesman Dirichati told the station that the Chinese Communist authorities intended to take Yan Zhishun’s case to shock the tiger, in order to prevent more documents related to the genocide government was leaked, which shows that the Chinese Communist Party is still covering up crimes.
Dirichati said: The Corps, as an entity that tramples on human rights and participates in the CCP’s repression of Uighurs, the CCP is concerned that documents and notifications of some of the policies pursued against Uighur persecution within the paramilitary Corps on the ground are leaked, triggering further international recriminations, and it is taking the form of individual cases to clear and deter the Corps system, which has always denied that there is genocide and forced labor on the ground.
The U.S.-based director of the World Vision China Affairs Department, Ely Shatti, also said that the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps is on the list of entities sanctioned by the West and is constantly on guard against leaks of its internal documents.
These documents are guidance on how to suppress and carry out its genocide, probably speeches by people like Xi Jinping and Chen Quanguo, and they are afraid that these documents will come out into the open and become evidence in court for them (to carry out) genocide, said Yilishati.
In November 2019, the New York Times exposed more than 400 pages of internal Communist Party documents, followed by 24 pages of “Chinese cables” from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which revealed how the Communist authorities wanted to set up concentration camps in the Xinjiang system.
Asiye Abdulahed, a Uyghur currently living in exile in the Netherlands and the whistle blower for the “Chinese message,” said in an interview with the station that the documents from within the Chinese Communist Party are hard evidence that the Chinese Communist Party is committing genocide against the Uyghurs. In the case of Yan Zhishun’s conviction, she fears that the CCP will take tighter control over documents related to Xinjiang, which will make it more difficult for human rights issues in Xinjiang to be exposed.
Asya said: The case against Yan Zhishun, which still involves the leakage of confidential official documents, is a problem. 2019 Xinjiang telegram and the previous 400 pages of confidential government documents leaked, are showing ironclad evidence of the Chinese Communist Party’s genocide in the Uighur region. By cracking down on some officials to deter others, the Chinese government will tighten its control over government information in the Uighur region in the future.

According to official information from the Chinese Communist Party, Yan Zhishun, 48, was born in Suide, Shaanxi province, and began working in Xinjiang in 1995, and was removed from his post in February this year. Yan Zhishun was last located in the Pishan area of Hotan, a Uighur-populated area.
Several international human rights organizations and governments are now accusing the Chinese Communist Party of building large concentration camps in Xinjiang. On March 22, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union imposed sanctions on the Chinese Communist Party. This is the first time since 1989 that the EU has targeted the Chinese Communist Party. The Public Security Bureau of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps was also added to the sanctions list.
