Pakistan: no to forcible return of Uighurs to China
Ahead of a bilateral meeting between China and Pakistan, Amnesty
International is urging the Pakistan government not to forcibly return 22
unnamed Uighurs to China for fear that they could be at risk of serious
human rights violations.

According to reports, the Chinese authorities have demanded that
Pakistan locate and hand over 22 Uighurs who are said to be hiding in an
unknown tribal area in Pakistan.

The Pakistan Interior Minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao is due to
discuss the issue with Chinese officials at a meeting of the Pakistan-China
Joint Working Group on Terrorism in Beijing on 25 June 2007.

The 22 Uighurs under threat of arrest and deportation from Pakistan are
alleged to be members of the East Turkistan Islamic Movement, which is
claimed by the Chinese authorities to be an armed secessionist group
with bases in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR) in northwest
China, as well as in Pakistan. The group was listed as a ‘terrorist
organization’ by both the US and the UN in 2002 after repeated
lobbying from China. The evidence that formed the basis for this decision
remains unclear.

The Ancient Gaochang City is located about 40 kilometers east to Turban City in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region.

The city was first built in the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD) and then named Gaochangbi. Having passed through the Han, Wei, and Jin dynasties, the city experienced several phases, including Gaochang Prefecture, Gaochang Capital, Gaochang County, Gaochang Huihu State, till its desolation in the late Yuan and early Ming, lasting over 1,400 years.

The present remains of Gaochang City that was built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and rebuilt and enlarged in the Huihu period cover an area of over 2 million square meters. Most city wall remains were made of tampered earth. Taking a shape of an irregular square, the whole city was divided into three sections, namely the outer city, the inner city and the palace.

    EASTERN TURKESTAN CIVILIZATION
    / originally/Published by Eastern Turkestan Union in Europe

    Toward the end of the 19th century and into the first decades of the 20th, scientific and archeological expeditions to the region of Eastern Turkestan's Silk Road discovered numerous cave temples, monastery ruins, wall paintings, as well as valuable miniatures, books and documents. Explorers from Europe, America and even Japan were amazed by the art treasures to be found there, and soon their reports were capturing the attention of an interested public around the world. These relics of Uygur culture today constitute major collections in the museums of Berlin, London, Paris, Tokyo, Leningrad and the Museum of Central Asian Antiquities in New Delhi. Together with the manuscripts and documents discovered in Eastern Turkestan reveal the very high degree of civilization attained by the Uygurs. Throughout the centuries Uygurs have used three different scripts. Confederated with the Kok Turks in the 6th and 7th centuries, they used the Orkhun script. Later they adopted what became known as the Uygur script. This script was used for almost 800 years not only by the Uygurs, but also by other Turkic peoples, Mongols, and by the Manchus in the early stage of their rule in China. After embracing Islam in the 10th century the Uygurs adapted the Arabic alphabet, and its
