In the
last ditch of effort to erase the Mongolian language
from Southern Mongolia, in September 2023, the
government of China officially ordered ALL Mongolian
schools, from kindergartens to colleges, to teach
ALL subjects in Chinese exclusively. This concludes
China’s three-year long language erasure campaign to
remove Mongolian language completely from the entire
educational system in Southern Mongolia. A trainee
who managed to leave China and arrived in the United
States recently told us that he and all of his
Mongolian coworkers were put to this training for 2
months. During the training, they must denounce
their “narrow nationalism” and “nationalistic
feeling”, and embrace the “Chinese Nationality
Common Identity”. They must provide all of their
social contacts and the details of social media
activities to the authorities. Toward to the end of
the training, they were forced to confess their
supposed “mistakes” including their past gatherings
where they wore Mongolian traditional clothes and
sung Mongolian songs. They were warned that these
are the mistakes that are against with the spirit of
“Chinese nationality common identity”. They had to
answer multiple questionnaires designed to assess
their “ideological improvement”. One of the .... |

Imprisoned Mongolian Christian in 'critical condition' after
starved, forced to drink toilet water |

...
In a case that
has raised significant human rights concerns, a 28-year-old
Mongolian Christian imprisoned on trumped-up charges is in
critical condition after facing severe persecution in a
high-security prison in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. According to
U.S.-based persecution watchdog
ChinaAid, Alamus, also known as Alamusha, originally
from the Xilingol League of Inner Mongolia, was a student at
the Shanghai Theater Academy. During a winter break in 2013,
he attended a classmate reunion in his hometown when an
altercation broke out at the event. Although Alamusha did
not participate in the fight, he was charged as the main
offender and sentenced to 15 years for intentional injury.
Alamusha's plight came to light following a
video released by his aunt, which has been circulating
on Chinese social media. The video alleges that Alamusha has
been tortured in solitary confinement for nearly two months,
with his life in imminent danger, because he refused to
plead guilty to his “crimes.” She claims that he was beaten
by police officer Nie Yonggang and a gang member, resulting
in a perforated eardrum. However, following his complaint to
the prison authorities, Alamusha was reportedly placed in
solitary confinement, shackled, and deprived ....

Thank you, madam Chair! My name
is Enghebatu Togochog. I
represent the Mongolian people
in China. I would like to bring
to your attention two major
issues faced by the Mongolians.
The first is China’s new
language policy that aims at the
total eradication of Mongolian
language. Despite the
region-wide mass protest, the
Central Government of China
forcibly implemented the policy
and imposed a total ban of
Mongolian language this
September. Let me repeat it
again: Mongolian language is
completely banned in the
so-called “Autonomous Region”
and neighboring Mongolian areas
within the borders of the
People’s Republic of China.
“Speak Chinese and become a
civilized person” is an official
slogan, publicly advocating
“Chinese supremacy”. Textbooks
are completely converted to
Chinese in all schools. Ignoring
its own constitution, the
Chinese Government announced
that Chinese is the only
official language in China;
Mongolian books and publications
are banned; Mongolian scripts,
signs and sculptures are taken
down from streets, parks and
buildings; even extracurricular
learning and teaching of
Mongolian is outlawed; Without
making any formal amendment to
the constitution, the Chinese
National Congress announced .... |

... We write you on behalf of the Southern Mongolian
Human Rights Information Center, the World Mongol Federation
US Chapter, the InterMongol Network as well as Mongolians in
the Unites States who are concerned about human rights
conditions of Mongolian peoples around the world. It has
come to our attention that you will be visiting Mongolia to
assess the independence and impartiality of Mongolia’s
judiciary system. In connection with your visit, we would
like to bring to your attention the case of Mr. Munkhbayar
Chuluundorj. We seek your agreement to directly bring to
the attention of the Mongolian government, the concerns we
have regarding the egregious manner in which the laws of
Mongolia have been subverted in the trial and sentencing of
Mr. Munkhbayar. Mr. Munkhbayar Chuluundorj is a citizen of
Mongolia and a long time writer, human rights defender,
journalist and a member of the Confederation of Mongolian
Journalists. As part of his journalism, Mr. Munkhbayar has
been one of the most vocal critics of the current Mongolian
Government’s relationship with China. He has also been a
strong supporter of national freedom for occupied parts of
the historical Mongolian nation, including Southern Mongolia
(“Inner Mongolia”) ....
