... “They are just telling us whatever expresses Mongolian culture and identity is not authentic and subject to be confiscated,” a Mongolian internet chatter commented on China’s increasingly tightening crackdown on Mongolian culture and identity, “officially sanctioned  publishing houses simply do not produce the quantity of materials needed by five million Southern Mongolians. So, what is wrong with listening to music and songs of Northern Mongolia, the independent country of Mongolia?” Recently, the Chinese authorities kicked off a series of high profile cultural projects including the “Developing the Mongolian Ethnic Cultural Greater Zone” and “Grassland Culture Development Project” in Southern Mongolia.

This arrest made by the police and State Security personnel of the People’s Republic of China with the cooperation of Mongolian police is a clear violation of the Constitution and other relevant laws and regulations of Mongolia.

You can’t say the police of two countries made an arrest together. Our officers just asked the United Nations Refugee Agency Office to bring Batzangaa for a meeting, and he came to us and met with the personnel from the Inner Mongolian authorities of customs check and screening who spoke of his crime related to financial issues [3]. Some press reported that he was arrested along with his wife and daughter. In fact, at that time his wife and daughter were at their apartment. Correspondent: Batzangaa informed Southern Mongolian human rights organizations of the fact that he has not committed any crime. Human rights organizations see he has been detained for political reasons. D.Murun: We don’t know ...

Batzangaa, a Southern (Inner) Mongolian exile and the Principal of the Ordos Mongol-Tibetan Medical School, was arrested at the front entrance of the United Nations Refugee Agency office building in Ulaanbaatar, capital of the independent country of Mongolia on October 3, 2009 while seeking United Nations political refugee status. Four Chinese policemen sent from China accompanied by more than 10 Mongolian policemen carried out the arrest. Batzangaa’s wife Ms.Bayanhuaar and their 9-year old daughter were also arrested in Ulaanbaatar.
