bring to its heart? What victory is that? It must withdraw from East
Turkestan completely. Let the people who live there be free to go to

mosques and factories. Let them talk freely and let it turn into a festival.
China must now do a good deed there. The time has come. China must
stand up and admit it has made a mistake saying: “This country is one
that deserves independence. There was no need for us to intervene.
There was no point and no logic in it. This is unacceptable in the 21st
century. We are withdrawing our troops. And we are lifting our politi-
cal pressure.” The whole world will love China when it announces it is
a free country. Everyone will respect it. China must commit this good

deed.
ASIA RFA: You mention this in your book Communist China’s
Policy of Oppression in East Turkestan; since 1949 China has executed
millions of Muslims among its own citizens, but when we look at the
media what we see is the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan and later
Palestine. We see in the media how many people are being killed every
day. But the most painful thing today is the thousands of people in East
Turkestan executed and prisoned just for writing books or poems. Tens
of thousands of people, but the world is silent. Why?
AD NAN OK TAR: Everyone who favors the idea of the Turkish-
Islamic Union should make a huge outcry on this subject. We will be

starting our own work in that regard in the next few days. We began
with Azerbaijan. It is now the turn of East Turkestan. We shall be raising
East Turkestan in the press, talking about people being killed for writing
that China should let East Turkestan go, should let its people live in free-
dom, that it keeps killing; about people being killed just for writing an
article, looking up to the sky or down on the ground. This oppression is
something that not even someone totally devoid of conscience should be
capable of. China is doing this and belittling itself before the world. It is

disgracing itself. It is disgracing everything. It is disgracing its own state
