Expose Rebiya Kadeer's lies

"The deeper cause of Sunday´s riot in China´s far northwest Xinjiang, which left at least 156 dead, was ´six decades of Chinese rule, during which the Uyghurs have endured a litany of human rights abuses such as arbitrary detention, torture, discrimination, religious repression, forced abortion and removing Uighur language teaching from schools.´" ---- Rebiya Kadeer

Truth you should know:

"Abuse"

Truth: The tale of Kadeer, who spent 40 years in Xinjiang and was listed as the richest woman in Xinjiang and the eighth richest on the mainland by Forbes in 1995, is a rags-to-riches story.

"Discrimination"

Truth: In Xinjiang, minority people hold more than half of government posts. About 360,000 government employees in Xinjiang are ethnic minorities.
Truth: Rebiya Kadeer´s identity as a Uygur also allowed her to have six children while most of her Han counterparts were limited to one.

"Religious repression"

Truth: Jume Tahir, 69, imam at the Id Kah Mosque, the biggest in Kashgar with a history of almost 600 years, said the government had invested 1.5 million yuan (219,500 U.S. dollars) to renovate the mosque in 1999.


Who is Rebiya Kadeer?

Born in Xinjiang in 1951, Kadeer, a former businesswoman in China, made a fortune illegally from the 1980s on through tax evasion and fraud.

She was sentenced to an eight-year imprisonment in 2000 on charges of illegally disclosing state secrets, and was released on bail in 2005 to seek medical treatment in the United States.

She immediately got involved with overseas terrorists, separatists and extremists forces there, according to Wang Lequan, Communist Party chief of Xinjiang.

In March 2000, Rebiya Kadeer was sentenced to eight years in prison by the Xinjiang Intermediate Court for providing national intelligence to overseas organizations.

On March 11, 2005, Rebiya Kadeer went to the US on medical parole. Upon her release, she promised never to do anything that harms national interests.

In August 2005, CPC Politburo member and Xinjiang Regional Party Secretary Wang Lequan told the press that Rebiya Kadeer didn´t keep her promise. She was colluding with leaders of terrorist, secessionist, extremist, and criminal organizations.
