To Whom It May Concern, What Follows Is Public Testimony Data Exported To whom it may concern, What follows is public testimony data exported from the Xinjiang Victims Database (shahit.biz) on Wed, 29 Sep 2021 19:55:36 +0000. A total of 115 victims with the following criteria is considered: List: Chinese Communist Party members The vast majority of testimonies presented come with supplementary materials - video, audio, pictures, and documents - the links to which are included here and which also may be consulted by accessing the testimonies via the original interface at www.shahit.biz. In compiling this information, all efforts have been made to faithfully and accurately convey that which has been put forth by the testifier. In many cases, the information was imported from public sources. In others, it was submitted to us directly by the testifier. Despite our best efforts and most professional intentions, it is inevitable that some human error is nevertheless present. Many testimonies were inputted by non-native English speakers and still require proofreading. Finally, the majority of these testimonies have not gone through rigorous corroboration and as such should not be treated as fact. We hereby leave the way in which this data will be used to the reader's discretion. Sincerely, the shahit.biz team 1. Rahile Dawut (热依拉·达吾提) Chinese ID: 650103196605202821 (Urumqi) Basic info Age: 54 Gender: F Ethnicity: Uyghur Likely current location: Urumqi Status: unclear (hard) When problems started: Oct. 2017 - Dec. 2017 Detention reason (suspected|official): other|"separatism" Health status: --- Profession: scholar Testifying party (* direct submission) Testimony 1: Anonymous, as reported by New York Times.

(former student) Testimony 10: Xinjiang University staff, as reported by Radio Free Asia Uyghur. (colleague) Testimony 11: Eqide Polat, as reported by William Yang. (daughter) Testimony 12: Eqide Polat, as reported by SupChina. (daughter) Testimony 13: Eqide Polat, as reported by Voice of America. (daughter) Testimony 14: Urumqi police records, as reported by Yael Grauer. About the victim Professor Rahile Dawut is a scholar of Uyghur folklore and the geography of Uyghur Sufi shrines. She founded the Ethnic Minorities Folklore Research Center at Xinjiang University where she built an intellectual home for dozens of young researchers. She is widely celebrated for her pathbreaking work as one of the first female Uyghur academics to receive her PhD and rise through the ranks of Chinese academia. Address: Xinjiang University apartment building, Urumqi. [This was her address as of 2009, but presumably has not changed, as she remained a professor at the university.] Victim's location Unknown, but it is likely that she is being detained in Urumqi. When victim was detained Her detention was first made known to her students and colleagues around the world in December 2017. In a video testimony, Rahile's daughter says that her mother last contacted her in December 2017, saying that she had been asked to go to Beijing and that she would get in touch once she got there (administrators had asked her to pack her bags and attend an urgent conference there). Urumqi police records note a person with her ID number as going through a police check at the Luzhou Neighborhood police office of the Badaowan Police Station (八道湾派出所绿洲社区警务室) in March 2018, with the system marking her as "completely normal" (一切正常) and "blue" (蓝色). [It is not clear what this means, as it comes months after her disappearance.] Likely (or given) reason for detention Unknown, but it is likely she was detained both because she is a person of influence and because she researched Uyghur local knowledge and practices. She comes up briefly in a recording of a phone conversation between Radio Free Asia and a Xinjiang University staffer, where the latter says that she doesn't know why exactly Rahile was detained. While she only says her first name (as opposed to "Rahile Dawut"), given the context and the fact that Rahile Dawut was very well known, it is almost certain that this was said in reference to the victim. Eqide has also reported hearing from an unofficial source that her mother had been accused of "separatism". Victim's status Missing. Her daughter believes that she is likely in detention and awaiting a secret trial. How did the testifier learn about the victim's status? Her daughter learned it from the fact that her mother was supposed to contact her after arriving in Beijing but never did. Her students and colleagues first learned of her detention via text messages sent from colleagues in China. The staff at Xinjiang University who confirmed her detention presumably have more direct information regarding her case. More recently, relatives have told Rahile's daughter that her mother is "awaiting results". Additional information To date, 18000 people have signed a petition demanding Rahile's immediate release: https://www.change.org/p/xi-jinping-petition-for-the-immediate-release-of-professor-rahile-dawut-and-ot her-uyghur-scholars The New York Times has also published a story about her detention: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/10/world/asia/china-xinjiang-rahile-dawut.html Blog article about the victim and her work: https://stephenjones.blog/2019/09/03/mazar-uyghur/ Written about in London Review of Books: https://www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2018/august/where-is-rahile-dawut Mention in the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/11/03/china-every-day-is-kristallnacht/ Mention in the Diplomat: https://thediplomat.com/2019/11/what-happens-when-the-uyghurs-come-home/ Mention in Voice of America: https://www.voanews.com/east-asia-pacific/voa-news-china/china-retaliates-against-uighur-activists-impri soning-relatives-us Her daughter's campaign: https://www.freemymom.org/ Radio Free Asia investigation: https://www.rfa.org/uyghur/xewerler/siyaset/uyghur-ziyaliy-lager-09132018143252.html SupChina article: https://supchina.com/2020/04/01/a-uyghur-daughter-alone-in-america-during-a-pandemic/ Her Baidu Baike: https://archive.vn/9JLHo This victim is also included in the list of prominent detained Uyghurs, available at: shahit.biz/supp/list_003.pdf Radio Free Asia calls transcript Call No. 1 (with staffer at Xinjiang University): Staffer: Yes, hello?

Staffer: Hello? RFA: How are you? Hello? Staffer: I'm all right. You? RFA: Yeah, good, good… Which office of Xinjiang University is this? Staffer: Xinjiang University's general administration office (综合治理办公室). RFA: Do they call it "general administration" or "headquarters"? Staffer: They call it “headquarters”. RFA: How many people from Xinjiang University are in training centers? Staffer: That I don't know. RFA: How long has it been since Arslan Abdulla stopped working? Staffer: I’m sorry. I'm not able to tell you these things. RFA: How about Abdurekim Rahman? How long has it been for Prof. Abdukerim Rahman? Staffer: I don't know. RFA: We got this number from the Education Bureau. They said that you would know these things. This was the contact information from the Education Bureau. If you cannot answer this, then we will speak with someone who is in the know. Who are the people in charge there? Who is the head of the philological institute now? Staffer: If that's the case, then look, here is what I'll do. These things… I'll go and see one of the bosses, and once I've found out exactly when these people stopped working, and where they are being held, then I will call you back. RFA: Okay. In that case, the first thing we're asking is: when did they stop working? Second: which branches of public security took them away? Which training centers? It would be good if you could get us this kind of information. Staffer: Wait a moment. Ah... Right now, all of our bosses are in meetings, this being our headquarters, after all. We have a cadre who is responsible for these things. I’ll get these matters clarified, and in fifteen minutes, if you call back this number that you dialed, I’ll pick up. RFA: You'll get it yourself? Ah, okay, okay, fifteen minutes... Staffer: I'll go get that done right now. RFA: Okay, okay. Take care. Staffer: I’ll get it done now. RFA: Okay. Take care. Call No. 3 (with the same staffer as in the previous call): RFA: So were you able to get some information? Where is Abdukerim Rahman? Staffer: For that one, there's no information. They still haven't made that public. RFA: Are they all in one training center, or in different training centers? Staffer: I don't know that either. RFA: Did they take Abdukerim Rahman away at a meeting, or from his home? Staffer: I don't know. RFA: Are their cases being handled by the disciplinary commission or by public security? Arslan Abdulla's. Staffer: I can't tell you anything about that either. RFA: On what day was Abdukerim Rahman taken away? When he still worked at the school.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Shayida Ali (XIN0035)
    Written evidence submitted by Shayida Ali (XIN0035) Victim 1: Elijan Mamut, My Father. Elijan Mamut (艾力江 马木提， ID:653101197404122416), he is a businessman, lives in Kashgar. Detailed address is: No. 467, Group No. 8, Towenki Mollazat Village, Nezerbagh Municipality, Kashgar City, XUAR (新疆维吾尔自治区喀什市乃则尔巴格镇吐万克毛拉 扎德村 8 组 467 号). He invested in a packaging supply factory, and other small business in Kashgar. He is a law abiding citizen, who has never committed any crime against the law and norms. Our communication was cut off since May 2017. Later on, I found out he was arrested and taken into one of those Chinese Concentration Camps in that region. There was no court and statements, there was no charge against him, he is only taken in the name of “Education/eradication”, like millions of Uyghurs. He supported me and my sister to go to university abroad. Unfortunately, he became the victim very soon after that. There is another possibility that he might also be used as Forced Labor, there are public advertisement from the local officers about “Uyghur Labor For Sale” on the Chinese social media. It has been stated in multiple reports from UN and other human right organizations, that Chinese government are taking millions of Uyghurs into the concentration camps, separated from their family, tortured or used as slave labors, and many of them were sent to home after their death in those camps. We plea the UK parliament help us get information about him and his current condition. We will fight for his freedom and hope the justice served to him as he deserved.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Objective: Based on the environment-individual interaction model and the "evaluation-coping" theory, the relationship between Resilience, Coping Styles, Core Self-evaluation and psychological health of disadvantaged children was explored to provide some theoretical support for psychological health intervention research. Methods: Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescent (RSCA), core self-evaluation Scale (CSES), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 618 middle school students in South Xinjiang. Results: First, GHQ-12 scores were negatively correlated with RSCA, CSES, and SCSQ scores (r=- 0.57/r=-0.56/r=-0.49, P <0.001), and positively correlated with the level of psychological health; second, coping styles is a mediator between resilience and psychological health (mediator effect value is -0.04); third, core self-evaluation is a mediator between coping styles and psychological health, there is "resilience — coping styles — core self-evaluation — psychological health" path. Conclusion: Resilience can directly predict the psychological health of disadvantaged children, and indirectly predict psychological health level through chain mediation of coping styles — core self-evaluation.

    The Impact of Global English in Xinjiang, China: Linguistic Capital and Identity Negotiation among the Ethnic Minority and Han Chinese Students Ge Jian A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Laada Bilaniuk, Chair Ann Anagnost, Chair Stevan Harrell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology © Copyright 2016 Ge Jian University of Washington Abstract The Impact of Global English in Xinjiang, China: Linguistic Capital and Identity Negotiation among the Ethnic Minority and Han Chinese Students Ge Jian Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Laada Bilaniuk Professor Ann Anagnost Department of Anthropology My dissertation is an ethnographic study of the language politics and practices of college- age English language learners in Xinjiang at the historical juncture of China’s capitalist development. In Xinjiang the international lingua franca English, the national official language Mandarin Chinese, and major Turkic languages such as Uyghur and Kazakh interact and compete for linguistic prestige in different social scenarios. The power relations between the Turkic languages, including the Uyghur language, and Mandarin Chinese is one in which minority languages are surrounded by a dominant state language supported through various institutions such as school and mass media. The much greater symbolic capital that the “legitimate language” Mandarin Chinese carries enables its native speakers to have easier access than the native Turkic speakers to jobs in the labor market. Therefore, many Uyghur parents face the dilemma of choosing between maintaining their cultural and linguistic identity and making their children more socioeconomically mobile. The entry of the global language English and the recent capitalist development in China has led to English education becoming market-oriented and commodified, which has further complicated the linguistic picture in Xinjiang.

  • Comprehensive Encirclement
    COMPREHENSIVE ENCIRCLEMENT: THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY’S STRATEGY IN XINJIANG GARTH FALLON A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences International and Political Studies July 2018 1 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: FALLON First name: Garth Other name/s: Nil Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: MPhil School: Humanitiesand Social Sciences Faculty: UNSW Canberraat ADFA Title: Comprehensive encirclement: the Chinese Communist Party's strategy in Xinjiang Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASETYPE) This thesis argues that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a strategy for securing Xinjiang - its far-flung predominantly Muslim most north-western province - through a planned program of Sinicisation. Securing Xinjiang would turna weakly defended 'back door' to China into a strategic strongpointfrom which Beijing canproject influence into Central Asia. The CCP's strategy is to comprehensively encircle Xinjiang with Han people and institutions, a Han­ dominated economy, and supporting infrastructure emanatingfrom inner China A successful program of Sinicisation would transform Xinjiang from a Turkic-language-speaking, largely Muslim, physically remote, economically under-developed region- one that is vulnerable to separation from the PRC - into one that will be substantially more culturally similar to, and physically connected with, the traditional Han-dominated heartland of inner China. Once achieved, complete Sinicisation would mean Xinjiang would be extremely difficult to separate from China. In Xinjiang, the CCP enacts policies in support of Sinication across all areas of statecraft. This thesis categorises these activities across three dimensions: the economic and demographic dimension, the political and cultural dimension, and the security and international cooperationdimension.
