cl<strong>in</strong>ed by some 19 percent over the last n<strong>in</strong>e years. 55 Arslan Alptek<strong>in</strong>,<br />

the son <strong>of</strong> the late leader Isa Yusuf Alptek<strong>in</strong>, recounts the stories <strong>of</strong> two<br />

<strong>of</strong> the hundreds <strong>of</strong> women who have died after forced abortions:<br />

On May 6, 1986, a 29-year-old woman by the name <strong>of</strong> Turahan<br />

Aysem died from loss <strong>of</strong> blood after an abortion had been performed<br />

on her. In August, 1997, a woman called Cholpanham from<br />

the Toksu district <strong>of</strong> <strong>East</strong> <strong>Turkestan</strong> was forced to have an abortion<br />

because she was pregnant, and her husband was f<strong>in</strong>ed 3,000 yuan …<br />

Taken from her home by force, the woman fled the cl<strong>in</strong>ic at the first<br />

opportunity, took shelter <strong>in</strong> a cemetery and gave birth by herself. She<br />

was then taken home by another <strong>in</strong>dividual. However, she was deta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

and 10,708 women were forced to undergo sterilization. Aga<strong>in</strong>, accord<strong>in</strong>g<br />

to the same <strong>of</strong>ficial, <strong>in</strong> another town <strong>of</strong> 180,000 people only about<br />

1,000 women were allowed to give birth (one woman out <strong>of</strong> every 35).<br />

At the same time, 40 people were sacked from their jobs because their<br />

wives were pregnant. 57<br />

Similar examples <strong>of</strong> such brutal family plann<strong>in</strong>g methods have<br />

been employed by dictators and despots <strong>in</strong> order to impose their own<br />

ideologies and secure their own regimes. One such was Pharaoh, who<br />

has gone down <strong>in</strong> history for the suffer<strong>in</strong>g he <strong>in</strong>flicted on a people who<br />

refused to abide by his false man-made religion, but had faith <strong>in</strong> Allah.<br />

Just like the atheist leaders <strong>in</strong> Red Ch<strong>in</strong>a, Pharaoh tried to prevent the<br />
