الصين: حقوقيون يستنكرون الحكم بالإعدام على المسلمين الإيجور

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

انتقد مجلس الإيجور العالمي بالمنفى قيام السلطات الصينية بإعدام مسلمين من الإيجور، معتبرًا ذلك حكمًا مدفوعًا بالسياسة، وأنه يأتي في ظل انتهاك حقوق الإيجور القانونية.

وتأتي تلك الواقعة عقب اعتقال 19 مسلمًا في إبريل الماضي على إثر مصادمات، وردًّا على هجمات الأمن واتهام المسلمين بالانتماء لتنظيمات انفصالية محظورة.

وقد أشارت "ربيعة قدير" - الناشطة السياسية ورئيسة المجلس العالمي للإيجور - إلى أنه منذ إبريل الماضي سقط نحو 140 قتيلًا، وكذلك البطش بالمسلمين ومنع بعضهم من الصلاة بالمساجد، وحظر مشاركتهم في صلاة العيد، في تصعيد متزايد للعنف ضد مسلمي الإيجور؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Rights Groups Slam Uighurs Death Sentences

BEIJING – Rights groups have condemned China death sentences against two Uighur Muslims, accusing authorities of issuing "politically motivated" sentences, Agence France Presse (AFP) reporter on Thursday, August 15.

merely as a stark reminder from the Chinese authorities that Uighurs are not equal before the law, nor can they expect any time soon full enjoyment of their rights,” Rebiya Kadeer, leader of the World Uighur Congress (WUC), said in a statement sent to AFP.

China's Xinhua news agency and other state media reported last Monday that the alleged leader of an extremist group Musa Hesen was sentenced to death following a one-day trial for murder.

Another defendant, Rehman Hupur, also received the death sentence for murder and belonging to a terrorist organization.

belonging to the group have also been given prison sentences ranging from nine years to life, Xinhua reported.

All of the defendants confessed to their crimes in court, the reports said.

A total of 19 suspects were arrested after the April incident, which saw gunfights break out leaving 15 police and community workers and six Uighurs dead.

According to WUC, up to 735 Uighurs may have been detained since the April unrest, fearing that some of these cases could be "enforced disappearances."

The WUC has also documented that “nearly 140 people have died or been extra-judicially killed due to the heavy handed and violent crackdown by the Chinese authorities.”

The trials indicated a “lack of due process and concrete evidence”, the World Uighur Congress said in a statement.

The two death sentences "mark the final setback for the Uighurs' relationship with the governing Chinese authorities amidst some of the worst and most egregious human rights violations to have taken place since July 2009.

“These politically-motivated sentences serve merely as a stark reminder from the Chinese authorities that Uighurs are not equal before the law, nor can they expect any time soon full enjoyment of their rights to freedom of religion, culture, language, expression and opinion under the new Chinese leadership,” Kadeer added.
