Uyghur Liberty or Death
By John Batchelor on July 9, 2009 at 9:01 PM in China, John Batchelor (author)
Over the last year, we have reported a deal on the Uyghur protests and the Uyghur yearning for liberty.
Uyghurs in exile are based out of Washington with Rebiya Kadeer. The Beijing cadre is blaming the Washington based group for the riots.
We expect to speak to correspondents at Urumqi on Sunday 12, and we aim to open show with voices from the Washington Uyghurs.
This is a profound threat to the unelected leadership in Beijing, because it encourages the other dissident groups in the Chinese empire, such as Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Falun Dafa and the democratic advocates. Tibet liberty was crushed last year.
Expect the same brutality in East Turkistan. Bejing is losing control of the narrative. It may be the financial turmoil; it may be the bald courage of those who demand democracy and freedom.
Do we expect to hear a statement from the Obama administration in support of the valorous, resourceful Uyghurs? Shrug.
