CHINA — The Chinese government is taking draconian measures to slash birth rates among Uighurs and other minorities as part of a sweeping campaign to curb its Muslim population, even as it encourages some of the country’s Han majority to have more children. While individual women have spoken out before about forced birth control, the practice is far more widespread and systematic than previously known, according to an AP investigation based on government statistics, state documents and interviews with 30 ex-detainees, family members and a former detention camp instructor. The campaign over the past four years in the far west region of Xinjiang is leading to what some experts are calling a form of “demographic genocide”. The state regularly subjects minority women to pregnancy checks, and forces intrauterine devices, sterilisation and even abortion on hundreds of thousands, FORCED TO GET INTRAUTERINE CONTRACEPTION DEVICE: Alif Baqytali ‘I WANTED ANOTHER SON’: Zumret the interviews and data show.

WHEN he passed away on May 25, a few months short of his 90th birthday, Covid-19 protocols and his own wishes meant that many in our community and elsewhere were denied the opportunity of attending a function to celebrate the life and influence on their lives of workmate and sportsman Dick Jones. Dick was born in Opotiki in 1930. Academic secondary schooling at Auckland Grammar was not for him and he left school as soon as he turned 15. His first forays into the world of work were in farming on the Coromandel before he moved to Gisborne in 1948 to join his elder brother Allan, working in heavy bush inland from , splitting battens and loading them out on pack-horses every two or three weeks. A move to employment with the New Zealand Post and Telegraph Department as a lineman was the forerunner to his joining the Royal GISBORNE OLD BOYS SENIOR RUGBY TEAM, LEE BROTHERS SHIELD WINNERS 1971 — Back (from left): New Zealand Corps of Signals.
