In a sign of increasing official pressure on the sons of Uyghur leader Rebiya Kadeer and her other family members in East Turkestan, Chinese authorities have forced imprisoned son Alim Abdureyim to sign documents releasing ownership of two buildings, one formerly owned by Ms. Kadeer and the other by her daughter Akida Rouzi, to the state. Judicial officials reportedly told Alim, who was escorted to a court in Urumchi before being taken back to prison, that the buildings would be demolished in about two weeks’ time. The move comes following the recent transfer of another imprisoned son of Ms. Kadeer, Ablikim Abdureyim, to a high-security prison.

Kein Volkswagen-Werk in Urumtschi ohne Menschenrechte für Uiguren!
Zur Eröffnung der Industriemesse in Hannover durch Chinas Ministerpräsident Wen Jiabao hat der Weltkongress der Uiguren (WUC) China vorgeworfen, systematisch die Menschenrechte der Uiguren in Ostturkestan zu verletzen.
In reaction to China pressuring Japan in an attempt to prevent the World Uyghur Congress's 4th General Assembly meeting to be held in Tokyo in May, Initiatives for China issued the following statement:
IFC is appalled at China's blatant interference in Japan's internal affairs by bullying Japan in an attempt to prevent the WUC from holding its meeting there.
IFC condemns China's aggressive insertion of its oppressive policy into the international arena, a clear violation of international law.
IFC believes that the Chinese Communist regime is solely responsible for the tension and violence in the Xinjiang region, which has seriously harmed harmonious interethnic relations. The Uyghur human rights activists are merely trying to defend their basic human rights through peaceful means.
A new 89-page report by the Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) documents the Chinese state’s top-down destruction of Uyghur communities in Kashgar and throughout East Turkestan, in a targeted and highly politicized push that Chinese officials have accelerated in the wake of turbulent unrest in the region in 2009. Living on the Margins: The Chinese State’s Demolition of Uyghur Communities reveals how the destruction of Uyghur neighborhoods has resulted in the loss of both physical structures, including Uyghur homes, shops and religious sites, and patterns of traditional Uyghur life that cannot be replicated in the new, heavily-monitored Chinese-style apartment blocks where many have been forcibly relocated.
Die Landtagsfraktion von BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN will von Innenminister Rhein (CDU) Auskunft über das Verhör von chinesischen Flüchtlingen in der Zentralen Ausländerbehörde Kassel durch Beamte des Ministeriums für öffentliche Sicherheit der Volksrepublik China. Die GRÜNEN wollen vor allem wissen, ob und warum auch Flüchtlinge verhört werden, deren Asylverfahren noch nicht abgeschlossen ist. Die migrationspolitische Sprecherin der GRÜNEN, Märvet Aetärk, hat deshalb einen Brief an den Innenminister geschrieben. Bei ihrer Kritik beziehen sich DIE GRÜNEN auf Mitteilungen der Internationalen Gesellschaft für Menschenrechte und einen Artikel in der Frankfurter Rundschau.
