ASIA RFA: How old were you
when you first heard about the East
Turkestan problem? And how?
AD NAN OK TAR: I have known
about it since middle school. It has
always angered me, stressed me.
China has always been an issue in my
mind. I always think of the children

there. I think of the young girls. Of
what must be happening to them in
the hands of the irreligious Chinese.
What is going on, one can’t imagine.
Just think of innocent children, young
girls, imprisoned in a dark cave like

that; I have always thought of it as a
cave like that, with bats flying
around, like in the horror films. I
always thought of them as people
made to live in a nightmare. That is
why I have always lived with the urge
to liberate them. I have had the idea of
the Turkish-Islamic Union ever since
childhood. It just continues growing.
