热比娅·卡德尔（维吾尔语：رابىيە قادىر、拉丁维文：Rabiye Qadir，1947年1月21日－），原先为一名新疆维吾尔族女商人，曾当选第八届全国政协委员，也曾经被中国政府以“向境外组织非法提供国家情报”为由判刑入狱，2005年以保外就医的名义赴美国。现在是海外异议人士。2006年热比娅在世界维吾尔代表大会（World Uyghur Congress）当选为第二届主席，2009年她连任当选为第三届主席。她曾三次获得诺贝尔和平奖提名。
从政
1993年，热比娅·卡德尔当选第八届全国政协委员。1995年9月又作为中国妇女代表，出席了在北京举行的世界妇女大会。热比娅还曾任新疆维吾尔自治区工商联副主席、新疆女企业家协会副会长。1996年热比娅的丈夫逃往美国，因他曾经抗议维吾尔人在中国受到不平待遇，此后热比娅就遭到了不同的待遇。由于拒绝发表反对其夫的申明，1998年起热比亚无法参选全国政协委员。
[编辑] 入狱
1999年8月13日，热比娅·卡德尔在试图同一个正访问乌鲁木齐的美国国会议员助手代表团会面时，被政府逮捕。2000年3月10日，以“向境外组织非法提供国家情报”的罪名被判处有期徒刑8年。
在监狱内接受采访时，热比娅曾被中国政府强迫公开发誓(否则没办法假释到美国就医)，今后绝对遵守中国法律，不违背国家之类的话。
2004年9月24日，挪威“拉夫托人权基金会”宣布将该年度的“人权奖”授予热比娅。此时热比娅仍被关押在中国的监狱中。
[编辑] 赴美
2005年3月14日，热比娅·卡德尔在监狱中被以“保外就医”的名义被释放，避难美国。国际特赦组织表示欢迎，但怀疑这是中共以释放人质作为交换条件换取美国于同一天宣布不在联合国人权委员会支持一项有关中华人民共和国的决议[1]。前美国国务院国务卿康多莉扎·莱斯亦于热比娅被释放后赴中华人民共和国访问，显示人质外交并非空穴来风。
在美国，她积极支持新疆人权，并成立了“国际维吾尔人权与民主基金会”（International Uyghur Human Rights and Democracy Foundation）却没有明确表达希望新疆独立。
2006年5月，热比娅名下的阿克达工贸有限公司被新疆政府指控自1994年至2004年"大规模偷漏税"800多万元人民币，欠缴滞纳金2000余万元；并"拖欠国家银行贷款"和个人各类债务2800多万元。6月1日，热比娅的两个儿子阿里木·阿不都热依木和阿不力克木·阿不都热依木以"涉嫌暴力抗法罪"被刑事拘留，其女茹先古丽·阿不都热依木[2]被软禁。
2006年9月，热比娅获得诺贝尔和平奖提名，中国政府随即表示不满，并称其“勾结境外的东突恐怖势力”。热比娅亦声称“自已不是恐怖分子、是用和平方法解决问题”[3]。
2006年5月29日起，热比娅担任美国维吾尔协会（Uyghur American Association）主席。
[编辑] 当选世界维吾尔代表大会主席
2006年11月26日，热比娅在德国慕尼黑举行的世界维吾尔代表大会（World Uyghur Congress）上当选为该组织的第二届主席[4] 。中国当局在第二天便查出其具有严重偷税行为，并以偷税罪判处热比亚家族的阿克达工贸有限公司和热比娅大厦商贸有限公司共计罚款2200万元人民币，判处热比亚的儿子阿里木·阿不都热依木有期徒刑7年，罚款50万；另一儿子卡哈尔·阿不都热依木免予刑事处罚，但仍被判罚金10万元。此时，热比亚还有一个儿子阿不力克木·阿不都热依木也正在被关押中。
新疆维吾尔自治区公安厅2007年1月8日下午宣布，新疆警方1月5日捣毁一处“东突”恐怖训练营，击毙18名恐怖分子，逮捕17人。[5] 而热比娅坚持否认新疆存在东土耳其斯坦伊斯兰运动之组织，自称所有的维吾尔组织都是以和平方式抗争。[3]媒体亦报道世界维吾尔代表大会与东土耳其斯坦伊斯兰运动并无关连[6]。
2009年5月续任世维大会第三届主席。[4]
[编辑] 乌鲁木齐七·五事件
2009年7月，乌鲁木齐七·五事件造成至少197人死亡，1721人受伤。中华人民共和国政府认为热比娅是乌鲁木齐七·五事件的幕后策划者[7]。热比娅否认[8] 表示她的评论与事件无关[9]。中国共产党新疆自治区副党委书记、新疆自治区主席努尔·白克力在发表电视讲话中宣称热比娅是“暴力恐怖分子”，并在幕后主使了整个暴力恐怖事件。[10]。热比娅在乌鲁木齐七·五暴力事件时人在美国。她称事件“是中国政府对维族的歧视性民族政策和镇压造成的”[11]，中国当局有意让维族人到沿海地区工作，让汉族人来新疆，“这个事情不是我做出来的而是中国政府自己做出来的，维吾尔人在中国的控制下，毫无民主，人权，宗教自由，在自己的国家成为了二等公民”。此后，热比娅接受半岛电台采访时，用了一张照片描述乌鲁木齐现场，但被发现实为石首事件的照片。对此，世界维吾尔代表大会新闻发言人迪里夏解释是在热比娅在录影之前，有人提供了该照片，但此人找不到了。[12][13]
[编辑] 访日
2009年7月28日,热比娅·卡德尔应国际特赦组织日本支部的邀请首次访日，中国驻日本大使崔天凯日前向日本政府发出警告。崔天凯周一在日本传媒机构奔走，呼吁日本理解中国对热比娅访日的不快，未能引起关注。[14]。世维会日本支部代表依里哈木反驳中国指称世维会背后指使的说法，他说：“我们希望成立一个由第三者组成的独立调查团查清事件是我们挑拨的，还是中共自己的表演”。依里哈木还表明，他们今后要努力让世界了解事件真相。[15]中评社报道热比娅在接受日本《产经新闻》访问时，宣称将在中国大陆60年“国庆”之际，“展开新行动”[16]。
[编辑] 新疆暴力事件后受到关注和争议
中国官方指热控比娅为首的“世界维吾尔代表大会”直接煽动、策划、指挥境内制造了这起严重暴力犯罪事件[17][18]。但中国政府一直没有拿出让世界舆论信服的热比娅挑动骚乱的证据，假如有这样的证据中国政府可以要求国际刑警组织通缉追捕热比娅。[19]
新华社报道，2009年7月24日热比娅国内亲属12人，分别是热比娅的儿子卡哈尔、女儿茹仙古丽、女婿开塞尔．阿皮孜、弟弟买买提、姐姐左克拉．卡德尔、养女热孜亚．卡德尔，还有五人是热比娅的孙辈。12人写公开信给热比娅，要求其放弃煽动新疆暴力事件。他们并集体向7-5暴力事件遇害者道歉“作为热比娅·卡德尔的子女及亲属，我们对（热比娅）所实施的以分裂为目的的这次暴力事件非常气愤，并向这次事件中无辜死亡的群众和他们的家属说声道歉。”“同时我们希望所有的维吾尔族兄弟们不要相信（热比娅）的话，我们各族群众要团结和睦相处，为建设安定、美丽、幸福的新疆尽自己的一份力。”[20]热比娅的弟弟和儿女也再次证实热比娅事先知晓和指导了此次暴力事件。[21]。热比娅亲属随后接受了新华社的采访，表示信件确实是他们写的，并对热比娅的行为表示不满[22]。
世界维吾尔代表大会的发言人迪里夏提（Dilshat Reshit）告诉法新社记者称热比娅亲属信件是假造的[23]。迪里夏提向美国之音表示，热比娅子女和亲属写信和接受采访，是在中国政府威逼利诱的结果。他说，“在中国这样一个法制不健全，而且滥用司法的国家，任何人随时随地有可能受到任何方式的胁迫，违背自己的良心和意愿，从事不该从事的事情，他们没有任何选择的自由。”迪里夏提表示，自从热比娅到美国后，两个儿子被判刑，女儿茹仙古丽也曾遭到软禁。家人和亲属也一直受到监控。他并说，中国政府的目的一是诋毁热比娅的形象，另一个就是将新疆骚乱事件嫁祸于热比娅和世维大会[24]。苹果日报用大标题指出，“中共文革式斗热比娅”，通过挑拨亲人关系，抹黑贬低等办法打倒对手是文革惯用的手段。[24]纽约人权观察亚洲研究员Phelim Kine表示：“信中遣词用字可见政府的操作，只是无法确知。但是如果信是真的，它们应该是法治国家司法机关正在秘密调查的证据，拿出来放在政府的传声筒－新华社－作全世界的传播是非常重大的违规行为[23]。”博讯网文章指出，让热比娅的儿子谴责自己的妈妈挑动骚乱，这种做法本身就让人无法相信谴责的真实性。文章更指出，中国政府这种让家人互相揭发、让家人证明家人有罪的做法，令人想起中国发疯的“无产阶级文化大革命”年代。[19]
[编辑] 法尔哈德·哈桑诺夫的评论
新华社报道哈萨克斯坦著名维吾尔族社会活动家法尔哈德·哈桑诺夫2009年8月19日表示，热比娅是一个挑拨者，她本人及其领导的“世界维吾尔大会”(世维会)绝对无权代表所有维吾尔族人的利益，“世维会”破坏了维吾尔族人和平与安宁的生活。他说，热比娅背叛了自己的家乡和国家，她和“世维会”一直在从事分裂中国的活动。他们躲在美国，策划和煽动分裂活动，破坏了全世界所有维吾尔族人和平与安宁的生活。[25]
[编辑] 《爱的10个条件》
2009年7月第58届墨尔本国际电影节放映一部热比娅的纪录片《爱的10个条件》（The 10 Conditions of Love）并邀请热比娅出席。中华人民共和国驻墨尔本领事馆要求主办单位不能放映这部纪录片也不能邀请热比娅出席，但遭到主办单位拒绝。原本准备参加墨尔本国际电影节的7部华语片退出。电影节网上售票系统被相信是中国的黑客攻击，在网上虚假购买大量门票，瘫痪售票系统。电影节网页也被改为中国国旗与反对热比娅的口号[26][27] 中国外交部发言人秦刚本月表示，北京反对任何国家给现年62岁的热比娅"提供从事反华分裂活动的舞台"。纪录片导演Jeff Daniel表示这样也好，人们可以看到不同的观点，只是对中国政府的强大压力导致现场保安人员密布不满。《爱的10个条件》门票稍后销售一空[28][29][30]。电影节主办方邀请热比娅出席周六（8月8日）的纪录片首映式，澳大利亚向热比娅签发入境签证，中国副外交部长张志军上月底召见澳大利亚驻华大使，提出严正交涉和强烈不满。邻国新西兰毛利电视台也宣布，将于下月1日播出该纪录片。[31]希望之声报道记录片《爱的十个条件》在墨尔本市政厅首映因中共动用各种手段对主办方施压，反而帮影片作了很好的宣传，首场1500个座位爆满。电影节负责人理查德．穆尔本人也遭到死亡威胁。中共驻墨尔本总领事沈伟廉8月6日紧急会晤墨尔本市长Robert Doyle，说如果市长不插手撤播关于热比娅的记录片，天津将结束与墨尔本长达29年的姐妹城市关系。[来源请求]墨尔本市政厅无法干预和电影界主办方不理会中共，记录片的主人翁热比娅女士亲临首映现场致辞，并在放映结束后回答观众和媒体的提问。[32]
中华民国高雄市电影图书馆原计划于2009年10月的高雄电影节期间播放此记录片，但引起大陆赴台观光团退房潮[33]，高雄市观光协会抗议此举严重影响观光业者生计，同时大陆国台办也发表声明强烈反对播放[34]，因此主办单位宣布改在9月22及23日共播映四场[35]。高雄市长陈菊表示高雄市的观光若仅靠中国的善意将是很危险的事[36]，而闪灵乐团的Freddy表示将利用赴美演出期间亲自邀请热比娅访问中华民国[37]。
中华民国内政部长江宜桦于同月25日表示表示世界维吾尔代表大会大会秘书长是国际刑警组织所通令发布的重要国际恐怖组织人物，基于国家利益考量，禁止热比娅入境台湾[38]。行政院长吴敦义听取报告后，也支持内政部的决定[39]。但国际刑警组织网站与国际媒体查无多里坤．艾沙的通缉资料[40]，只有中方媒体报道[41]与中国公安部公布名单[42]。江宜桦29日面对立委赖清德的质询，有解释名单不是一般人在世界刑警组织的网站就可以查到，所有恐怖分子网站的名单，必须要有特殊的密码方能知晓[43]。中央社驻日内瓦记者周盈成询问国际刑警组织是否曾多里坤或发布通令，获得的答案是：国际刑警组织从未通缉秘书长多里坤‧艾沙，仅是代会员国传播要犯资料，并不代表国际刑警组织的立场。也就是多里坤只是列名在会员国通知的红色通报（Red Notice）[44]。
[编辑] 欧洲议会
[编辑] 支持联合国主导独立的国际人权状况调查
路透社报道热比娅于2009年9月1日以“世界维吾尔代表大会”主席身份出席了欧洲议会人权委员会举行的有关中国人权状况的讨论。在与热比娅共同举行的记者会中，欧洲议会人权委员会主席、芬兰籍女议员海迪·豪塔拉表示欧洲议会支持联合国应该主导独立的国际调查团调查乌鲁木齐七·五暴力事件中各方违反人权的行为。热比娅说有一万维吾尔人在事件后失踪，并指控中共政府在新疆对维吾尔人进行文化上的种族灭绝[45]。
[编辑] 欧洲议会三位议员的评论
新华社以“热比娅在欧洲议会鼓吹“疆独”遭批驳”为标题报道欧洲议会欧中友好小组主席、英国籍议员德瓦对热比娅的演讲内容提出了质疑。德瓦说，如果真如热比娅所言，中国政府 “统治”新疆以来长期压迫维吾尔族穆斯林，剥夺他们的宗教信仰自由，消灭他们的语言和文化，热比娅身为一名维吾尔族人当年何以能成为百万富翁并当选为中国全国政协委员，前后生育了11个孩子，今天又在欧洲议会用一口流利的维吾尔族语发表诋毁中国政府的言论。
欧洲议会英国籍议员查尔斯·坦诺克指出，保护少数民族权益并不意味着支持少数民族分裂势力的暴力活动，以及反对中国对自己的一个省份所拥有的合法权利和占人口多数的汉族人权益。坦诺克说，热比娅的部分指责与他所了解的事实相左。他举例说，较之汉族人要严格遵守计划生育政策，维吾尔族等少数民族却相对受到优待，可以生更多的孩子；维吾尔族等穆斯林群体的宗教信仰得到了更好的保护，这一点从新建的众多清真寺就可以看出。坦诺克认为，一个中国政策是所有欧盟成员国的共同立场，欧洲议会不应当支持中国境内受到宗教极端组织支持的分裂主义势力。
主持会议的欧洲议会人权委员会主席、芬兰籍女议员海迪·豪塔拉强调，她邀请热比娅到会并不意味着她本人支持“疆独”主张
Rebiya Kadeer (Uyghur: رابىيه قادىر, Rabiye Qadir, pronunciation [ˈrabɪjæ ˈqadɪr]; Turkish: Rabiye Kadir; simplified Chinese: 热比娅·卡德尔; traditional Chinese: 熱比婭·卡德爾; pinyin: Rèbǐyǎ Kǎdé'ěr) (born 21 January 1947) is a prominent Uyghur businesswoman and political activist from the northwest region of Xinjiang in the People's Republic of China (PRC), also known as East Turkestan. She has been the president of the World Uyghur Congress since November 2006.[1]
Kadeer has been active in defending the rights of the largely Muslim Uyghur minority, who she says has been subject to systematic oppression by the Chinese government.[2] Kadeer is currently living in exile in the United States.
Imprisonment
Having been a witness to the Gulja Incident in 1997, Kadeer says she failed in her repeated attempts to persuade Beijing that change was needed. Feeling that she had no choice, she openly criticised the government in a speech before parliament, and was promptly removed from the National People's Consultative Conference; authorities revoked her passport.[4] In 1999 she sent newspaper clippings to her exiled husband, Sidik Rouzi, who was living in the United States and who is active in protesting against Chinese policies towards the Uyghur people. Kadeer was detained in August 1999 while on her way to meet a US Congressional Research Service delegation investigating the situation in Xinjiang at the time,[4] and was alleged to be in possession of a list of 10 people "suspected of having a connection with national separatist activities". She was detained by PRC authorities on charges of "leaking state secrets", and was convicted on 10 March 2000 in the Ürümqi Intermediate People's Court, of "endangering state security",[3][8] after sending her husband newspaper clippings on the treatment of the Uyghur community.[9]
Whilst in prison, Kadeer spent two years in solitary confinement, but was not tortured. She speculates that this was because that guards were aware of her international reputation.[4] In 2004, her sentence was reduced by a year based on citations of good behaviour where she was being held.
[edit] Release and exile
In 2004 she won the Rafto Prize for human rights.[10] On 14 March 2005, Kadeer was released early, nominally on medical grounds, into United States' custody in advance of a visit by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the region. The U.S., which had pressured for her release, agreed to drop a resolution against China in the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch moderated their criticism somewhat as a consequence.[11] On 17 March, Kadeer flew to the U.S. and joined her family in Washington, D.C. In an interview with Phoenix Television before her departure to the US, she stated that she would remain a citizen of the People's Republic of China, and as a person born in the new China, she would sacrifice her own life for the integrity of China.[12]
In April 2007, one of her sons, Ablikim, was sentenced to 9 years in prison and 3 years deprivation of political rights, reportedly after confessing to charges of "instigating and engaging in secessionist activities." In November 2006 Alim, another of her sons, was sentenced to 7 years in prison and fined $62,500. Qahar Abdurehim, yet another of her sons, was fined $12,500 for tax evasion but not jailed. In June 2006, Alim, Ablikim, and Qahar were officially charged with state security and economic crimes shortly following Kadeer' election as president of the Uighur American Association.[13]
Kadeer stated her belief that all Uyghur organizations fight peacefully.[14] On 5 June 2007, at a conference on democracy and security held in Prague, Kadeer met privately with President George W. Bush, who praised people like her for being "far more valuable than the weapons of their army or oil under the ground."[15] On 17 September 2007, the United States House of Representatives passed by a voice vote House Resolution 497,[16] demanding that the Chinese Government release the imprisoned children of Rebiya Kadeer and Canadian citizen Huseyin Celil, and change its suppressive policy towards the Uyghur people.[17]
[edit] July 2009 riots
Main article: July 2009 Ürümqi riots
While the protests that preceded the July 2009 riots were ostensibly a response to the death of two Uighur workers in Guangdong, the Chinese government catapulted Kadeer into the limelight when it claimed the WUC, which she heads, had planned the riots.[18] That said, Taiwan denied a visa to Mrs. Kadeer in Sept 2009, alleging she had links to the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, classed as a terrorist organization by the United Nations and USA.[1].
Kadeer has denied that the riots were organised.[19]
On 3 August, Xinhua reported that two of Rebiya Kadeer's children had written letters blaming her for orchestrating the riots. According to Xinhua, they pleaded: "We want a stable and safe life … Please think about the happiness of us and your grandchildren. Don't destroy our happy life here. Don't follow the provocation from some people in other countries."[20] Germany-based spokesman for the WUC rejected the letters as fakes. A Human Rights Watch researcher remarked their style was "suspiciously close" to the way the Chinese authorities had described rioting in Xinjiang and the aftermath. He added that: "...it's highly irregular for [her children] to be placed on the platform of a government mouthpiece ... for wide dispersion."[21] CCTV broadcast a video of interviews with the family members of Kadeer on 4 August.[22]
Xinhua announced in early September 2009 that three properties owned by Kadeer's companies, including the Akida Trade Center, where more than 30 members of Kadeer's family were reportedly living, would be torn down due to "cracks in the walls and sunken footings".[5] Local Uighurs said they saw this as an attempt to banish Kadeer's shadow; the Uighur American Association said the demolition may spark a new round of violence.[23]
[edit] The 10 Conditions of Love
Director Jeff Daniels shot a documentary film in 2009 about Kadeer, called "The 10 Conditions of Love". It was destined to be screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival. The organisers refused a request from Chinese consulate in Melbourne for the film to be withdrawn and for Kadeer's invitation to the festival to be rescinded. Several Chinese directors pulled out of the event. The festival website was hacked and festival information replaced with the Chinese flag and anti-Kadeer slogans, and booked out all film sessions on the site; a denial-of-service attack forced it to shut down.[24][25] Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said China was "firmly opposed to any foreign country providing her with a stage for her anti-China separatist activities". However, Daniels said it was good that "people were able to see different sides of the story" and criticised the heavy pressure from the Chinese government.[26][27][28]
Australian Federal Labor Member of Parliament, Michael Danby, transmitted a message of support for the screening from 14th Dalai Lama, saying: "...[Kadeer] is another one of the national leaders who is a paradigm of non-violence." Danby said the Dalai Lama, "wanted to make it very clear to people that the claims of this woman being a violent person or instigating violence, is from his point of view, and with all of his authority, wrong."[29]
The documentary was scheduled to be shown at the Kaoshiung Film Festival, Taiwan, in October 2009, but was later rescheduled to September, before the festival due to opposition from the PRC.[30] Wang Yi of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China opposed the film, saying it "beatifies the ethnic separatists" and sends "the wrong signals about terrorism and violence",[31] while the Chinese government warned the Kaoshiung city government not to "stir up trouble".[32] The website for the festival was also hacked.[33][34] It was later announced that the film would be shown at the film festival as originally planned. Premier Wu Den-yih said the government would protect freedom of speech.[35]
[edit] University of Oxford Interview
Oxford University interviewed Kadeer, gaining her many American viewers. A video was taken of her in her Washington D.C. office. The interview is in Uyghur, with no bit in English except for names of things or people such as "Chicago", and "Condoleezza Rice". A man, speaking Uyghur, who is presumably an Uyghur, although not specified, asks her questions. The office is large, with a photo of a young Kadeer on the wall, and a Turkic horseman statue is used as her paperweight, expressing how she is not only proud to be Uyghur, but Turkic in general. A whiteboard has the red dry-erase marker writing, "Monday 2 pm. UHRP mtg. Be there or be {picture of a square}!" However, this is only after about 3-4 minutes of the video showing scenery of New York. Then, when Kadeer finishes the part on her exile, the video briefly shows the area of Washington City near her office. She then returns into focus, saying "Today I am free". She describes how much help and/or sympathy she receives from Americans of all ethnicities, races, religions, and classes, and expresses gratitude towards all Americans. Many things are revealed in the video,[36] such as how she founded the "1000 mothers' movement", to help working Uyghur mothers be more successful, and profit from their work, and have a chance to educate their children. She also expressed her desire to help small, young Uyghur children to get an education and be successful schoolchildren. Kadeer said "I didn't know this was not allowed {by the Chinese government}" . She also describes throughout the documentary her experience en route to the US, in which, before leaving, she is located and taken by the Chinese government, placed in a room in the Urumqi city airport, (which she says was usually always busy, but this time very few people were there), put in a plane "full of Chinese officials", flown to Beijing, put in another room, this time in the Beijing airport, and greeted by Chinese officials. One of them tells her she may go to America, but she will not get involved in politics. She responds by telling the man, "Don't worry. I would never do anything to hurt the Chinese people". The man replies by saying, "Keep your promise". 2 Americans, a man and woman from the local American embassy, come to escort her to the plane, which is bound for Chicago. Kadeer reminisces, "When I saw the Americans, I thought the sun was coming out. My heart was racing". The Chinese official tells the Americans, "Rebiya Kadeer isn't getting involved in politics". The American man replies, "America is a free country. Rebiya Kadeer can be involved in whatever she wants to be". he says the man got so mad she could swear that to her, "He was about to hit me". The American man and woman stepped in between her and the official, and told her not to worry. They then boarded the plane. She said about the flight, "I was scared until the plane doors closed". According to her, the first thing she said when landing in Chicago was "Freedom for the Uyghur". The video was published to iTunes by Oxford University, and is listed as an iTunes U video. It is in the collection "Forced Migration Online Documentaries". The release date strangely appears "6/23/18". THe author is listed as "Rebiya Kadeer (Rabiya Kadeer), with "Oxford University" as the provider. The description reads "Rebiya Kadeer (Rabiya Kadeer), Washington DC, USA. Left Xinjiang in 2005 for Washington DC and now is the president of the World Uyghur Congress, the most significant Uighur leader, either in China or abroad, and a hate figure for the Chinese government". [37]
[edit] Travel to Palau to visit Uyghur former captives at Guantanamo
Kadeer is scheduled to travel to Palau in November, a new nation in the Pacific Ocean, which offered temporary asylum to twelve of thirteen remaining Uyghur captives in Guantanamo.[38] Six of the twelve men accepted the temporary asylum.
