Dr Akram HicaziResearcher - WriterTranslated from Arabic by Azbe KezbaniEastern Turkistan after the Cold War and 9/11A Critical Study of the Chinese Theses and PoliciesIntroductionIt is difficult for someone who is studying and monitoring the condition of EastTurkistan to write about any subject. It is particularly more difficult for someoneto understand the situation if they are isolated from its civilization, culture,history, laws, humanity or even its biological makeup. In this region, a populationhas been subjected to genocide for decades, if not hundreds of y ears, yet it still isunable to make its voice heard. What can be heard is merely the determination,strong will power and faith of the victims. “While tears are streaming” 1 , and whilecrimes against humanity transgress every possible limitation, which subject canwe ignore while writing about another? It is even not possible to compile ordocument the subjects in question in any kind of detail. However, it is possibleto determine capital crimes committed, for all worlds to see; for example, crimesof racism. And again in this context, ethnic crimes committed in connectionwith business, education, health, marriage, migration or population planning.In addition, the banning of religious practices, mosques, reading the Qur’an,religious education, religious books, the Qur’an itself, Islamic symbols and Islamicattire, the killing or suppressing of scholars, religious functionaries and imams, theinculcation of atheism, the banning of provisions of the religious law, promotingwar against religion and insulting Islam are only a few more examples of suchcrimes that we can mention here. Among the crimes related to health there is theadministration of contaminated or deadly vaccines, the spreading of drug, alcoholor other addictive substance abuse among the Uyghur, as well as various illnessesthat result from nuclear tests. As examples of cultural crimes, we can quote thedistortion of history, the denying of the identity of the people and the Turkistanterritory, as well as the erasing and destroying of all traces regarding culture and309
