A top official of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps has been investigated for “illegal copying and storage of confidential documents. Uyghur organizations and “China Telegraph” whistle blowers believe the high-profile announcement of the investigation is an attempt to create a chilling effect and prevent more evidence of human rights abuses from leaking out.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and State Supervision Commission website informed on Monday (19) that Yan Zhishun, a former member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Kunyu City and former Party Secretary and political commissar of Pishan Farm, has been investigated. And give his dismissal from the party, public office discipline.
The report 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. The report on Yan Zhishun “illegal copying, storage of classified documents” allegations attracted attention.
The other side even said “I’m not sure” when we contacted the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Discipline Inspection Commission to ask about the facts of the allegations.
The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Discipline Inspection Commission staff said: this I do not know, do not know.
A spokesman for the German-based World Vision said to the station that the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps has been added to the list of sanctions imposed by Western countries for the genocide of Uighurs by the Chinese Communist Party. The Chinese authorities are trying to use Yan Zhishun’s case as a deterrent to prevent more documents involving the genocidal government from being leaked, which shows that the Communist Party is still covering up the crime.
Dirichati said, “As an entity that abuses human rights and participates in China’s repression of the Uighurs, China is concerned that the leaking of documents and notifications of some of the policies pursued by the paramilitary corps against Uighur persecution on the ground will trigger further international accountability.
Ilshatie, the U.S.-based director of the World Vision China Affairs Department, 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.
Ilshat said, “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 that they (carried out) genocide.
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 CCP have become hard evidence of the CCP’s genocide against Uyghurs. The case of Yan Zhishun’s conviction shows that the CCP will be more strict in its control of documents related to Xinjiang.
Asya said: The case against Yan Zhishun is still a matter of leaking confidential official documents, and the 2019 Xinjiang telegram and the 400 pages of confidential government documents leaked before it show hard evidence of the CCP’s genocide in the Uyghur region. By suppressing some officials to deter others, the Chinese government will have stricter control over information within the government in the Uighur region in the future.
According to official Chinese sources, Yan Zhishun, 48, born in Suide, Shaanxi province, began working in Xinjiang in 1995 and has been removed from his post since February of this year. Yan Zhishun was last located in the Pishan region 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 U.S., Canada, the U.K., and the European Union imposed sanctions on China. This is the first time since 1989 that the EU has targeted China again. The Public Security Bureau of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps was also added to the sanctions list.
