【禁闻】美联社:中共妖魔化维吾尔人

2014年08月06日新疆冲突
【新唐人2014年08月06日讯】日前,中共官方将新疆莎车县7月28号发生的暴力事件,定性为“境内与境外恐怖组织勾连丶性质恶劣”的暴力恐怖袭击案件,不过,与此同时,民间也出现了截然不同的版本。《美联社》指出,中共垄断着新疆暴力事件的话语权,更容易把不利于它独裁统治的敌人妖魔化。“美国保护记者委员会”亚洲项目协调人表示,中共当局应允许独立媒体进入新疆采访。

8月4号,《美联社》在一篇报导中说,维吾尔人抱怨遭到中共当局的迫害,然而,中共当局利用广泛的控制手段和宣传工具,维持着对新疆地区的垄断性话语权。这样一来,局外人对不断升级的新疆种族骚乱的了解就是片面的。

《美联社》援引“美国保护记者委员会”亚洲项目协调人迪兹(Bob Dietz)的话说:“在没有独立媒体报导的情况下,政府更容易把敌人妖魔化。”

世界维吾尔大会发言人阿里木:“像中国共产党这种一党专制的国家,它用的手段是两种,第一是靠暴力,也就是武装军警来打杀维族人,然后用它的新华社和中央电视台来把维族人魔鬼化,然后它们垄断,控制信息,不让外国记者、外国外交官,或者是联合国调查组来调查发生的事件真相,所以它可以用暴力消灭维族人,用它的媒体来欺骗中国和世界人民。”

原《河北人民广播电台》编辑朱欣欣表示,尤其被当局称为暴力事件的报导,完全被官方垄断了对事件的解释,还有评论,民众没有一个正式的渠道来发表看法,同时媒体也没有自己的独立报导。

原河北人民广播电台编辑朱欣欣:“在中国,类似这样的报导,缺乏公信力,缺乏一个完整的、客观的证实,所以我们完全可以对官方的报导进行质疑。”

前不久,在互联网社交平台“推特”上,一名莎车县维族人的信息经翻译后传出﹕中共军人为阻止维族人进行信仰活动,屠杀当地50多名妇女和小孩,并以袭击派出所名义,抓捕前去抗议的人们,最终爆发警民冲突,多个村遭到屠杀,造成至少3000名维吾尔人死亡。

据《自由亚洲电台》维族语的报导,莎车县当地官方工作人员都以接到命令,无法回答为由,拒绝记者采访。一当地人说:“所有人都在讲,死了很多人,2-3千都不止。杀戮主要是在14,15,16,22等5个村。街上围观的都杀,6岁小孩也杀,任何手里拿农具的都杀。”

朱欣欣:“官方所谓的报导,完全都是一边倒的,单向的一个宣传而已。它现在对暴力事件的报导,完全是统一在它们的口径之下,它希望怎样说就怎样说,它通过它的报导来左右,尤其是国内,还有包括国外的社论的看法,同时也是为它们自己所谓的反恐的行动来提供藉口。”

据《新华社》报导,新疆和田公安最近根据民众举报,1号中午,在墨玉县普恰克其乡一玉米地发现了暴徒踪迹。公安和3万多名群众合力围捕,最终击毙暴徒9人,抓获1人,公安和民众无一人伤亡。

但是这个报导遭到网民质疑,因为官方资料显示,墨玉县普恰克其乡总人口不到3万人,而且《央视》播出的警民围捕暴徒的视频,也看不到任何与3万人围捕有关的场面。

不过,北京《新浪网》报导,3号下午,墨玉县举行表彰大会,对参与“8.01”围捕行动的集体和个人、以及举报重要线索的民众进行奖励,共计发放奖金423万元人民币。

《德国之声》指出,希望对大陆相关报导作出独立验证的媒体,很容易受到当地安全机构的阻拦。

报导说,最近,《美联社》一组记者抵达新疆阿克苏机场进行报导,从他们降落在机场的那一刻起就遭到跟踪。记者们发现,与他们交谈过的民众,事后都遭到询问。

AP: China Controls Narrative of Violence in Xinjiang

The Communist regime characterized the July 28 ethnic
violence in Xinjiang Shache County as a vicious terrorist
attack due to "the collusion of domestic and foreign
terrorist organizations."

However, a distinctly different version has also been
recounted by civilians.

Associated Press reported in its article that China
is controlling the narrative of the tense violence in the west.

Asia coordinator for the Committee to Protect Journalists
(CPJ) also told Radio Free Asia that the regime ought
to allow independent media interviews in Xinjiang.

August 4, AP reported, "The Chinese government uses
expansive controls and propaganda to maintain a virtual
monopoly on the narrative in the tense region of Xinjiang,
where minority Uighurs complain of oppression
under Beijing's rule."

"This limits outsiders to a one-sided view on escalating
ethnic unrest," added AP.

Cited AP, "With no independent media coverage, it is easier
for the state to demonize its enemies," said Bob Dietz,
Asia coordinator for the CPJ.

World Uyghur Congress spokesman Alim Seytoff: "In a CCP
one-party dictatorship, there are only two exploitative means.

One is the violence and killing of the Uyghurs
by the armed police.

The other is the demonization of the Uyghurs via the media
monopolization and information control using Xinhua
News Agency and CCTV.

No foreign media investigation, diplomats
or UN investigation team is allowed.

In all, it destroys the Uyghurs with violence and deceives
Chinese and people around the world with its media."

Former Hebei People's Radio editor Zhu Xinxin indicates
the violence is single-handedly manipulated by the regime,
including with commentary.

There is no formal channel to allow people
to express their views.
Media provides no independent report, either.

Zhu Xinxin: "In China, reports like this lack credibility.
There is no solid and objective proof.
The official report is absolutely questionable."

On August 3, a netizen shared the translation of an article
written by a Uyghur in Shache County on Twitter.,

It read, "In order to stop the locals from carrying out
religious activities, heavily armed soldiers broke into
the room, massacring over 50 women and children.

The angry locals who protested at the police station
were arrested in the name of assaulting the police.

The authorities carried out a bloody massacre in multiple
villages, leading to a death toll of at least three thousand."

According to a RFA Uyghur language report, officials
in Shache County were ordered to refuse a reporter interview.

One local said, "Everyone is saying that many people died,
at least two to three thousand.

The killings were mainly in the 14th, 15th, 16th,
and 22nd villages.

Those onlookers in the street were killed.
Even six-year-old children were killed.
Anyone with a farming tool in his hand was killed."

Zhu Xinxin: "The so-called official reports are totally
one-sided propaganda.

The official violence report is entirely under
the unified standard.

They will say whatever they want to lead the report,
especially domestic, as well as overseas editorial opinion.

They are trying to find an excuse
for the so-called anti-terrorism."

Xinhua News Agency reported that at noon on Aug. 1,
mobs were found in a corn field of Puqiakeqixiang
of Moyu county according to the people's report.

With the efforts of the public security forces and more than
30,000 locals, nine mobs were killed and one was arrested.

But there was no injury among the police and the locals,
the report said.

Netizens questioned this report.

The official statistics show that there is a population
less than 30,000 in Puqiakeqixiang.

The CCTV clip did not show a scene relevant
to 30,000 people being rounded up in the mob.

However, Beijing Sina website reported, Moyu town held
a commendation on August 3rd afternoon.

They rewarded the groups and individuals who participated
in the action and the people who provided the important clues
with a total of 4.23 million Yuan.

Deutsche Welle pointed out that the media's attempt
on the independent verification of the related mainland report
is easily blocked by local security agencies.

"A team of Associated Press journalists were followed
on a recent reporting trip from the moment they landed
at an airport in the prefecture of Aksu," according to AP.

Minders trailed them in cars and on foot questioning anyone
the reporters talked to, reported the AP.
