Remarks at the Demonstration in Protest Against The Visit of Jiang Zemin by Thubten Jigme Norbu

This gathering is one of the most important ones to bring us together in many years. Today, as we demonstrate for the just cause of Tibet's independence, we have a chance to make our voices heard by the man who is responsible for the continued torment and suffering being experienced by the Tibetan people. Jiang Zemin will see our demonstration on the news and he will not be able to avoid hearing our message. And people all over this country will hear our message too: Tibet must be free and independent!

We Tibetans are not alone in our struggle for freedom against one of the world's last totalitarian dictatorships. Diverse peoples like southern Mongolians, Uigurs, and Taiwanese stand with us in opposition to Chinese Communist tyranny. All our peoples have unique cultures which Jiang Zemin would love to destroy utterly. We must stand together in solidarity against the evil which would otherwise crush us. We must prevent the atrocities occurring right now in Tibet, Uigurstan (also known as east Turkestan), and southern Mongolia from ever happening to Taiwan. Taiwan must not go like Hong Kong. Taiwan must also be a free and independent sovereign nation.

All Tibetans believe that Tibet must be independent, as well. No one believes the Communist propaganda pouring out of Beijing. One only has to look at occupied Tibet to appreciate what Communist control means: 1.2 million Tibetans exterminated, nearly every monastery destroyed or deserted, ordinary people forced to endure unspeakable tortures for expressing the simplest freedoms, systematic eradication of Tibetan culture, propaganda officers shoving Maoist ideology down everyone's throats, and the wholesale looting of Tibet's natural resources - leaving Tibet as nothing more than a toxic waste dump. These are the true "gifts" of modernization which the Communist oppressors bring to my people. China also claims Taiwan as a part of its own territory. If Jiang Zemin, the Chinese butcher, gets his hands on Taiwan you can be certain the Taiwanese will suffer torture and death as well.

Tibetans and Taiwanese want no more and no less from China than self-determination - the full right to determine their own future, and on this point make no mistake about what self-detem-iination means: Tibetans, after suffering decades of death and destruction at the hands of Chinese Communists are determined that their future must be one in which Tibet is a free and independent member of the community of nations. What I am saying to you today is not the view of one Tibetan.

It is the common aspiration of all Tibetans, and more importantly; it is an absolute necessity if we are to survive as a people.

There is a lesson Jiang Zemin needs to learn: oppressed nations can rise again, even after decades under the harshest totalitarian attempts to destroy their identities, cultures, and languages; and - more importantly - a people's sense of national identity and independence cannot be satisfied by weak attempts at a pathetic version of "modernization." The Tibetan desire for national independence has nothing to do with any economic or social changes that some politicians propose; it is concerned only with the survival of Tibet, Tibetan culture, and the Tibetan people. This can only be achieved when Tibetans are the free citizens of their own independent land. Anything else isjust a formula for slow death.

As we speak here now one of Jiang Zemin's major crimes remains unredressed. And anyone who understands the nature of this crime understands why Tibet must be independent. At this very moment, an eight-year old child is being held prisoner in Beijing simply because we Tibetans have recognized him as the incarnation of one our leading spiritual teachers. What kind of government imprisons innocent children? What kind of " world leader" is this who can do this and still dare to show up in public in this country? Fortunately, everyday more and more people are standing up for Tibet. And it is those people, as well as all of you gathered here today, who are making it increasingly difficult for someone like Jiang Zemin to hide his crimes.

Recently, Representative Frank Wolf of Virginia visited Tibet without Chinese authorities knowing his official status. He was able to speak with Tibetans free of a government escort. Many told him of serious human rights offenses. As a result, he, with Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania have proposed the Freedom from Religous Persecution Act. If passed, this Act would authorize sanctions against any nation offending in cases of murder') torture.) and imprisonment of people for practicing their faith. In such cases, a variety of sanctions could be imposed unless the president invoked a national security waiver.

Let all Americans support Representative Wolf and Senator Spector. Let all Americans speak out for freedom in countries that are oppressed by dictators like Jiang Zemin.

Freedoms which Americans take for granted are punishable by torture and death in my native land. This must never happen to Taiwan! These atrocities must stop in occupied Tibet! The truth about Tibet cannot be denied. So too, independence for Tibet cannot be denied either. I thank you all for supporting us.

Tibet and Taiwan will be free and independent once again! So too will Uigurstan and southern Mongolia! Taiwan for the Taiwanese and Tibet for the Tibetans!

b. Tibet's Flag Displayed Across from White House !

After the main demonstration on October 29, 1997 as part of "Let Freedom Ring: Human Rights for Tibet and China," at Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C., a large group of Tibetan and western protesters assembled facing the main entrance of The White House. Interestingly, at the very same time, President's Clinton and Jiang Zemin were about to begin their international press conference following their historic summit. Sometime while the protesters chanted slogans, a leader of Students for a Free Tibet climbed a flag pole directly in front of The White House (1600 Pennsylvania Avenue) and removed one of the three flags drapping this pole. Flying on this pole, along with other flags on the street in front of The White House, were the flags of the United States, the District of Columbia, and in honor of President Jiang Zemin's State visit, The People's Republic of China. Not surprisingly, the flag removed by this young, western, Tibet activist was the 5-star flag of China. This activist then hung Tibet's flag in

the same spot of The PRC flag.

At the conclusion of the day, an attempt was made by the International Tibet Independence Movement to regain their Tibetan flag. The leader of this organization spoke with the head law enforcement officer about obtaining their flag. The officer stated that it was illegal to climb the pole to remove the Tibetan flag. Additionally, he disclosed that The PRC flag needed to be returned before the Tibetan flag could be given back.

Moreover, after being asked how long the Tibetan flag would fly across from the front of The White House, the officer reported "until the conclusion of President Jiang Zemin's visit to the United States." Thus, the Tibetan flag will be flown in this location until Sunday, November 2, 1997. Apparently, this is the first time that the flags of Tibet, the United States, and the District of Columbia have appeared together. While His Holiness The Dalai Lama was not invited or present at the State summit between President's Clinton and Jiang Zemin nor their press conference, or the demonstration in support of Tibet, His country's flag was present and so were the spirit and aspirations of Tibetans in-exile and in Tibet who demand and deserve independence.

World Appeal from T.D. Lakha Lama

To all:

I am happy to inform you that we are arranging: "The 1000 Lamp Mandala Ceremony" for Tibet in the cities of Aarhus and Copenhagen, Denmark and many other places on the Day of Human Rights, and Nobel Peace Price at; December the 10th at 18.00 o'clock.

The work has already begun in Aarhus and Copenhagen and other places, but I would sincerely appreciate interested parties to commence similar initiatives all over the World.

I know that it is impossible for many people to fully join in the ceremony. However, their participation and concern may be demonstrated if they would just light a candle and put it on the windowsill at the same day and time. The purpose is to lighten up the many years of darkness that have been oppressing Tibet.

The mandala format is flexible. It could be in two or three dimensions ie. flat or as an erect structure. The choice is fully on the parties that take up the challenge.

I wish to thank all those who have sympathy for the Human Rights in Tibet.

Yours truly T.D. Lakha, Denmark

(1) STATEMENT BY AN UYGHUR WOMAN AT THE US CONGRESS HEARINGS 10/28/97, Eastern Turkistan Information Center

My name is Rizvangul Uighur, I am an Uighur from East Turkistan which Chinese call Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. I am grateful for the opportunity to testify on the Chinese Human Rights Abuses in my motherland.

As you can see from my appearance, I am not a Chinese, my mothertouge is not Chinese, my culture is Turkic culture, the Uighur history has no connection what so ever to Chinese. My motherland was taken over by Chinese communist in 1950.

It is obvious to everyone, Chinese government's policy, especially after implementing the so called No. 7 Act of PRC Central Standing Committee hosted by Mr. Jiang Zeming, clearly stated the discriminatory policy towards Uighur and other indigenous population of East Turkistan. I regret that I don't have time to list all abuses caused by PRC. However, I would like to take this chance to give you what I know about the February 5-6 incident which Chinese government shamelessly labeled as "riot organized by a small number of separatist". The reality is nowhere close to Chinese official description of the event.

Ghulja is a city with Uighurs majority. In Uighur cultural tradition, there are a cultural gatherings called 'Mashrap', county level unofficial soccer competition organized by Uighurs and some other religious gatherings. All these normal activities are considered "counter revolutionary activities" by Chinese official and banned completely. The purpose is obvious, they want to systematically destroy our culture, religion, history and traditional activities and finally to genocide Uighur as a whole.

Uighurs are born Muslim, it is our religious tradition to gather together to pray during the holy Ramazan. On the eve of Ramazan on February 5 in Ghulja, ordinary believers were offended by the arrests of 30 prestigious religious leaders by Chinese government. They were shocked by the arrests, especially the young folks could no longer tolerate. 600 young people took to the street walking towards city government demanding release of those religious figures. On their way, they were brutally stopped by police and paramilitary forces. Police violently dispersed crowd using electrical clubs, water cannon and tear gas in the freezing day. The second day, even bigger demonstration was held after Uighurs all over town heard about the incident. Chinese police and paramilitary forces were ordered to shoot to the crowd and killed 167 people and succeeded in suppressing the rally.

Afterwards, the Chinese policemen arrested over 5,000 demonstrators including elder, young, women and children in a single day on the charge of "intending to split motherland", "conducting criminal activity" "fundamental religious activity" and "counter revolutionary element".

One of my friend was among the arrested. She is only 20 years old. She described to me what happened to her that day as follows. Chinese policemen forced all the arrested Uighurs to take off shoes and stand barefoot on snow for hours, they also released police dogs to bite them. One by one, the arrested individual were called in for questioning. My friend is a devote Muslim, when she was called in. She was asked: "Are you a Muslim?"

My friend replied: "Yes, of course I am.". "Where is your God?" the policeman asked. The girl replied: "God is in my heart." Then, you would not believe what the policeman did to her. He tore off her cloth and pressed a burning cigarette on her bare breast and crudely yelled: "If your God is in your heart, then let him rescue you right now!" Afterwards, all the girls from the age 14 up were locked into Han Chinese male prison cells. The Han prisoners took full advantage of these innocent souls, destroyed their spiritual purity.

After the demonstration, we were little surprised about the patience of Chinese government in making open executions. Everything was clear, they were waiting for U.S. to offer Most Favored Nation Status to China. Right

after MFN was approved by the congress, the Chinese government made the first open execution of 7 Uighurs and sentence of 23 demonstrators ranging from 5 to life time. In order to "kill the chicken to scare the monkeys", Chinese military forces load them on the open truck guarded with heavily armed soldiers humiliatedly drove slowly through the busy Uighur bazaar and neighborhoods. During that time, crying crowd including relatives, family members and friends of so called 'criminals' followed the tucks to say good buy. Guess what Chinese soldiers did? Would you believe such cruelty could ever happen in a civilized society? They opened fire to the ordinary crowd!

Killed 9 Uighurs in the spot and injured over 25. Chinese media could not hide the incident and officially admitted the soldiers opened fire to the 'mobs who wanted to rescue the criminals'- a biggest lie one can ever create!

I heard Chinese made large scale secret execution to the demonstrators, religious figures who refuse to comply with government. One of my friend's brother was among the secret executed Uighurs. His brother was arrested one night in April after the Ghulja incident, at 3pm next day, his father and spouse were informed to pay final visit for five minutes. The young man was executed afterwards without any judicial trial. Nobody knows where is his dead body.

As I told you in the beginning, I was born an Uighur, I didn't see any Chinese and couldn't speak Chinese when I was young. But now I saw millions Chinese migrated in my country. All of them are transferred by Chinese government. We have already became a minority in our own motherland. Let me give you some more examples of the human rights violation of government that every single Uighur is experiencing nowadays in their own motherland.

1. Because of the Nuclear testing, there are many deformed children, unknown diseases and all kinds of untreatable skin diseases. Chinese government claims that Nuclear test is safe and no harm to the Uighurs who live surrounding test site. I want to ask Jiang Zeming that why doesn't he let Chinese test their Nuclear bombs in their own land if it is safe and harmless to the human. We Uighurs don't need bombs of any kind.

2. The birth control policy toward Uighurs is unbearable. Babies are being killed in delivery room without seeing the mother's face and world. Those pure souls died without knowing what is wrong and who is their mother. The mothers lost their children even had no chance to say good bye to their newborns, whom they had for ten months of pregnancy, to whom they have many wishes and the new life they were dreamed to have with. The reason for those innocent souls death is that their mothers have no birth permission.

For those who gave birth to such a child would encounter maltreatment and ignorant in hospital for their violation of government birth control policy, many of them die after given birth from the infection and other decease caused by such treatment. After all, their family would face a financial punishment for their violation of government birth control policy.

3. On a train from Urumqi to Beijing, there were only two Uighurs including me. Suddenly, we saw two policemen walked directly to us bypassing all the Chinese in the train. They rudely yelled to us: "Show us your identification!" and searched over all our belongings. We were so offended and felt deeply humiliated. But, both of us didn't say anything, since we know from our experience we would got into big trouble if we show any resentment. This is what every Uighur experiencing everyday, everywhere in the People's Republic of China. 4. We were deprived off our religious rights. The government employee and workers are not allowed to pray, to attend religious school or to go to Mosques openly. I was once warned by a Chinese official that I had to took off my veil, otherwise, I could not keep my job. I was forced to pray secretly at home as a consequence.

Thank you very much for your attention. I sincerely hope you could help my people by stopping Chinese inhumane treatment of Uighurs.

(2) PRC REGIONS ISSUE CIRCULARS ON REBELLIONS 10/22/97, Hong Kong Tung Hsiang, PTS Translated Text for FBIS

Article by Cheng Ming Reporter Li Tzu-Ching: "More Than 3,000 People Launch Anti-Communist Rebellions in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang. Armed Suppression Leaves Over 300 Dead or Wounded"

HEARSAY AND OFFICIAL DENIAL

In early October, overseas media reported that some large-scale armed rebellions simultaneously broke out in Xinjiang and Inner-Mongolia on the eve of the PRC National Day. However, they gave no details regarding the exact sites and number of people involved in the incidents...

On the same day, the Xinjiang and Inner Mongolian authorities solemnly denied the foreign reports. The regional officials maintained that Urumqi and Huhhot remained quiet and stable during the national day period, and dismissed the foreign reports as groundless. They said that they "had heard nothing about" the incidents.

Is it true that the foreign reports were fabricated and the regional officials spoke the truth? What was the real situation in the two regions? Xinjiang Authorities Admitted a Six-Day Armed Rebellion [subhead] The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People's Government and Xinjiang Military District issued a circular on 30 September, stating: >From 22-27 September, the Xinjang Uygur Autonomous Region witnessed a rebellion and riots in Tuokexun, Shawan, Shanshan, Hutubi, Hejing, Heshuo, and other areas for six consecutive days. More than 3,200 people took part in the rebellion and riots. Some separatist organizations and hostile forces armed with sub-machine guns automatic rifles, grenades, incendiary bombs, and other weapons looted local party and government organs and state warehouses and destroyed local railroads, highways, and communications facilities.

On the afternoon of 24 September, deceived, lured, instigated, and intimidated by some hostile organizations, some 800 people in Xinjiang's Hejing and Heshuo surrounded and indiscriminately opened fire at local party and government headquarters; called for the establishment of

"Xinjiangstan"; shouted slogans like "CPC Get out," "People's Liberation Army [PLA] Get out," and so on; and used weapons to block local PLA troops from maintaining order. When local PLA troops issued a final warning to the members of the mob, armed separatists opened fire at them.

The incident left more than 30 PLA officers and soldiers dead or wounded. The local PLA troops launched a counterattack, dealing a telling blow to the arrogant separatist elements and quelling the armed rebellion in the end. The Central Military Commission immediately ordered the Lanzhou Military Region to dispatch some rapid response troops to areas concerned to help quell the rebellion. They quickly imposed martial law and curfews in the areas.

On 25 September, Qian Shugen, deputy chief of the PLA General Staff, and Lanzhou Military Region Commander Liu Jingsong arrived in areas concerned to personally direct the suppression. The circular admitted that the incident has left more than 270 people dead or wounded, including more than 90 local party and government cadres, public security officers, and armed police officers. Some 17 cadres and officers were killed in the incident. The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People's Government revealed that nearly 80 people were killed and over 820 armed separatists and members of the mob were arrested.

THE INNER MONGOLIAN AUTHORITIES ADMITTED A THREE-DAY ARMED REBELLION

The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People's Government and Inner Mongolia Military District issued a circular on 29 September, stating: On 24, 25, and 26 September, Inner Mongolia witnessed a three-day armed rebellion in Suniteyou Banner, Shangdu, Huade, and some other areas. A mob shouted slogans like "Establish a Mongolia Republic," "Wipe out Communist Invaders and Troops," and so on; launched a violent and armed attack on local party and government organs; and held some local party and government cadres hostage. On the evening of 25 September, they refit lorries into armored cars with steel plates and attacked local PLA barracks and local police and armed police headquarters.

Despite a warning from local PLA troops, the mob participants continued with the armed attacks, thus leaving over 30 local party and government cadres and armed police officers dead or wounded. As a result, local PLA troops and armed police forces were ordered to launch a counterattack against the separatists. They quickly quelled the armed rebellion and started imposing martial law in Shangdu and Huade as of 18:00 on 26 September.

The Beijing Military Region was ordered to transfer a crack regiment from the 82nd Division of the 28th Group Army stationed in Datong and dispatch it to Shangdu and Huade. Zeng Gangchuan, deputy chief of the PLA General Staff; Beijing Military Region Commander Liang Guanglie; and some senior PLA officers arrived in the two areas to personally inspect the situation.

They called an on-site meeting in Jining to discuss the ways and means of quelling the separatist and counterrevolutionary rebellion. The circular admitted that some 130 people were killed or wounded and more than 220 separatists were arrested in the latest incident.

THE STATE COUNCIL TRANSMITTED A REPORT ON REBELLIONS IN XINJIANG AND INNER MONGOLIA

On 29 September, the State Council General Office transmitted a report filed by "Xinhua" and "Jiafangjun Bao" reporters on the recent Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia rebellions. The report stated:

In an elaborate plot by some anti-China and anti-Communist foreign hostile forces, a batch of self-exiled hostile and separatist elements armed with a large number of weapons, munitions, propaganda materials, and operational funds slipped back into Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.

They organized local hostile forces and instigated, intimidated, and forced some local people opposed to China's socialist system and unaware of the truth to attack local party and government organs with guns, explosives, incendiary bombs, vehicles, and other arms.

They shot dead local party and government cadres; launched armed attacks on local PLA barracks and local police and armed police headquarters; looted state warehouses; conducted beatings, and smashing, looting, and burning activities in some local areas; deliberately sabotaged local communications, telecommunications, water, and electricity facilities; and inflicted huge losses to state property and peoples lives.

CPC HIERARCHY ISSUED THREE-POINT INSTRUCTION ON QUELLING REBELLIONS

The CPC Central Committee, State Council, and Central Military Commission issued the following three-point instruction after studying reports submitted by the Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia party, government, and military authorities:

It is necessary to firmly, resolutely, and thoroughly crack down on violent activities launched by hostile and separatist organizations manipulated and controlled by hostile foreign forces; It is necessary to firmly and resolutely crack down on violent attacks launched by hostile and separatist forces and pursue and capture remaining elements;

It is necessary to firmly and thoroughly crack down on and suppress armed and violent attacks launched by hostile and separatist organizations. Rebellions on the Eve of "National Day" Made CPC Lose Face [subhead] During the 15th CPC National Congress, the CPC authorities specially invited principal officials of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia autonomous regions to attend a press conference.

At the press conference, the officials confidently told the Chinese and foreign reporters: China's ethnic minorities regions have enjoyed nationality solidarity, political and social stability, economic prosperity, and rapid development. However, shortly after the 15th CPC National Congress, while these words were still ringing in people's ears, two large-scale armed rebellions broke out in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia respectively on the eve of the National Day, this being a slap in the face for the CPC authorities. This explains why the Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia officials unanimously denied some foreign reports in the first place, in a vain bid to cover up the recent incidents in order to save face for the CPC...
