On February 9, dozens of Uyghurs gathered outside the Chinese Embassy in Ankara, Turkey, expressing concern that they had been sent to “re-Education camps” by the Chinese Communist Party authorities after losing news of their families for months. In Kazakhstan, a number of ethnic Kazakhs also demonstrated at the Chinese Embassy in Almaty against Communist atrocities because of the “re-education camps” in which their families are being held.
Serikzhan Bilash, founder of the Kazakh human rights group Atajulte Volunteers, told Apple Daily on October 10 that the Central Asian country is witnessing an Anti-Communist wave against the Chinese Communist Party’s atrocities against Kazakhs.
The newspaper said Uyghur protesters in Turkey held up photos of their families and demanded that the outside world pay attention to the Chinese Communist Party’s genocide. Turkish police were present and on guard, and rally-goers could only gather 300 meters away from the Communist Embassy. Police also prevented journalists from covering the event and took at least four protesters away in police vehicles.
The Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) formally ratified late last year, the Bilateral Extradition Treaty signed between China and Turkey in 2017, and there are fears that Uighurs who fled from Xinjiang to Turkey will be extradited back to China, but the Turkish parliament has not yet confirmed the relevant treaty.
In addition, there have been demonstrations outside the Communist Party’s embassy in Kazakhstan for several days, and on Feb. 2, according to five minutes of live footage posted on Facebook, a social activist, Baibolat Kunbolat, held a photo of his brother arrested in Xinjiang, declaring the length of his brother’s detention: “Today, 1,049 days. Today, 1049 days.” Kazakh police intervened and arrested him. Baibolat had chanted slogans before being escorted to a police car, and was subsequently released with a warning from the court. Yesterday, Baibolati and other ethnic Kazakhs again demonstrated at the Chinese Communist Embassy, this Time also taken away by Kazakh police and charged with illegally leading a rally and detained for 10 days.
“The founder of the Atajulte Volunteer Organization, Serkjian, said the Central Asian country is experiencing an anti-communist wave against the Communist Party’s atrocities against Kazakhs, including the mass arrests of Kazakhs in Xinjiang and the confiscation of their passports; the banning of Kazakhs in Xinjiang from chatting with Kazakhs via WeChat and qq, and the cutting off of communication between them and their people abroad. The Kazakhs are discontented with the expansion of the CCP’s influence in Kazakhstan, including public opinion, penetration of all levels of government, media, finance, and other areas, as well as the opening of companies by Chinese in Kazakhstan and the large-scale purchase of real estate there.
The Kazakh authorities deliberately allow pro-Beijing figures to slander and intimidate Kazakhs who stand up to Communist atrocities,” he said. The Kazakh authorities think that by using pro-Beijing activists to glorify the CCP’s policies, they can counter the Kazakhs whose loved ones are being held in Xinjiang concentration camps.”
The Chinese Communist Party’s “re-education camps” in Xinjiang, where millions of Uighurs are being held, have become a symbol of its human rights abuses in recent years and have been criticized and condemned by the international community.
On January 19, former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the U.S. government has concluded that the Chinese Communist Party has committed “genocide and Crimes Against Humanity” against the Uighurs and other minorities in Xinjiang.
Kazakh scholar Rais Khan told Radio Free Asia, “The U.S. government defines the Chinese Communist government as having committed genocide in Xinjiang, not because of a few cases, but because of a systematic study that confirms the fact that the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ war-wolf diplomats have always denied and fought a war of words, and then found a few civil servants or peasants from Xinjiang to be actors. some speeches against the views of Western governments, how good Life is, and other false propaganda.”
Recently, the BBC reported that women in the “re-education camps” were systematically raped, sexually abused and tortured, again shocking the international community.
British Foreign Office Minister for Asia Adams recently said that his country is seriously considering any further sanctions against China (the Chinese Communist Party), including sanctions against Chinese Communist Party officials
