Uighurs using missionary railway to flee China
维吾尔人利用传教士系统逃离中国
BEIJING — An underground network of Christian missionaries that usually works with North Korean refugees says it has helped smuggle nearly two dozen Muslim Uighurs out of China following last summer's deadly ethnic violence and the subsequent government crackdown.
北京——一个通常与朝鲜难民合作的基督教传教士地下网络声称，上个夏天的极端种族暴乱及随后的政府镇压后，它已经帮助差不多两打穆斯林维吾尔偷渡出了中国。
It's the first time the Christian interfaith network has worked with a group of Uighurs, and it won't be the last, with more currently using the so-called underground railway to make their way out of the country and requests for assistance surging into the hundreds, missionaries said.
传教士们说，这是基督教各教派网络第一次和维吾尔团体合作，但不会是最后一次，他们通常利用所谓的“地下系统”离开这个国家并寻求对急剧上升到几百人的帮助。
【surging into hundreds，具体指什么我不是很明白。】
Long-simmering tensions between Turkic Uighurs and China's Han majority have increased since July's riots in the western region of Xinjiang. The Chinese government says the violence left nearly 200 people, mostly Han, dead
7月新疆西部骚乱后，土耳其裔维吾尔族和中国的多数民族汉族之间长期存在的摩擦加剧了。中国政府称暴乱使大约200人死亡，其中多数是汉人。
A Chinese court sentenced three Uighurs to death Friday for their actions during the rioting, bringing to 17 the number of death sentences handed down over the violence. Overseas Uighur groups say Uighurs have been rounded up in mass detentions since the riots.
星期五一家中国法院因三名维吾尔人在暴乱中的行为而判处他们死刑，使因暴力而获死刑的人数上升到了17人。海外维吾尔团体称自从骚乱后维吾尔人被大量关押。
Some have turned to the "railway" for help, and one Macau-based missionary who is part of the network said they now have daily contact with major Uighur exile groups.
一些人已经向“系统”求救，一个澳门传教士属于该系统，他说他们和较大的维吾尔流亡团体有日常联系。
The network of sympathetic Chinese Christians shelter and guide people, usually North Koreans, as they cross China on their way to UN refugee offices abroad to seek asylum.
富有同情心的中国基督教徒网络为跨越中国前往国外的联合国难民署寻求政治庇护的人——通常是朝鲜人——提供避难所和指导。
The first group of 22 Uighurs, who've been described by exile groups as witnesses to the rioting, made their way through China and Vietnam before arriving over the past few weeks in the Cambodian capital, where they have made contact with the UN refugee office and applied for political asylum.
在过去几周里，第一批22名维吾尔人设法穿过中国和越南，到达柬埔寨首都，在那里他们和联合国难民署取得联系并申请了政治避难，这些人被流亡团体描述成骚乱的见证者。
However, they live in fear of being picked up and returned to China, which has close ties with Cambodia, Uighur groups said.
但是维吾尔团体称，他们生活在被抓获并遣返到中国的恐惧中——中国和柬埔寨联系紧密。
"China has a very big influence in Cambodia. So their life is in risk, I would say," said Ilshat Hassan, the U.S.-based director of interior affairs for the World Uyghur Congress.
“中国在柬埔寨有巨大的影响，所以我得说，他们的生命正处于危险之中。” 在美国的世界维吾尔大会内部事务主任Ilshat Hassan说。
A spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry asked that questions about the 22 Uighurs be sent in a fax, and offered no immediate response Friday. The Public Security Bureau in Xinjiang did not immediately respond to a faxed request.
星期五一位中国外交部发言人被通过传真询问关于这22名维吾尔人的一些问题，他没有马上提供回应。新疆公安局也没有马上对传真请求作出回应。
Hassan said the group is the first large one to leave China after the riots. Two other Uighurs were arrested in Vietnam, he said, and he lost contact with another group of four.
Hassan说，这一批是暴乱后离开中国的最大一批维吾尔人。他说另有两名维吾尔人在越南被捕，此外还有四个人则失去了联络。
A spokesman for Cambodia's Ministry of the Interior, Pol. Lt. Gen. Khieu Sopheak, said Friday that at least 16 Uighurs are staying at the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Phnom Penh. The office is the closest UNHCR office to China in Southeast Asia.
星期五柬埔寨内政部发言人Pol. Lt. Gen. Khieu Sopheak说，至少16名维吾尔人滞留在金边的联合国难民高级专员办公室。这一办公室是东南亚距中国最近的联合国难民高级专员办公室。
UNHCR's spokeswoman for Asia, Kitty McKinsey, said she could not discuss the case. "It's our policy everywhere in the world never to speak about individual asylum seekers or refugees," she said.
联合国难民高级专员办公室亚洲发言人Kitty McKinsey说她不能讨论这一事件。她说：“在世界上任何地方我们都绝对不能谈论个人政治庇护寻求者或难民，这是我们的政策。”
Cambodian government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said the government would consider carefully any repatriation request from China. He said Cambodia has the right to deny such a request if the people are considered political asylum seekers.
柬埔寨政府发言人Khieu Kanharith说政府会认真考虑中国的遣返请求。他说如果这些人被认为是政治避难寻求者，柬埔寨有权拒绝遣返请求。
"But if they are purely criminal people and there is a request, we may deport them," he said.
“但是如果他们只是纯粹的犯罪分子，有了这样的请求，我们可以驱逐他们。”
It was unclear what role, if any, the 22 Uighurs played in the rioting. They could not be reached for comment Friday.
还不清楚这22名维吾尔人在骚乱中扮演了什么角色，如果他们有参与的话。星期五不能获得有关他们的评论。
"They may have been involved in the protest July 5, but it is not clear at the moment," said Dilxat Raxit, a spokesman for the World Uyghur Congress.
“他们可能参与了7月5日的抗议，但是现在还不清楚，”Dilxat Raxit，世界维吾尔大会发言人称。
Radio Free Asia reported Friday that two of the Uighurs told the UNHCR they watched the July violence unfold. One said he feared retribution for taking photos.
自由亚洲电台星期五报道说，两名维吾尔人告诉联合国难民高级专员他们目睹7月的暴乱发生。其中一人说他害怕因拍照而受到处罚。
Hassan said the Uighurs still have photos of the riots and government response, but there were no immediate plans to make them public. "We want to get them first to a safe place," he said.
Hassan说这些维吾尔人还有骚乱以及政府反应的照片，但是没有马上公之于众的计划。“我们想先将他们送到一个安全的地方。”他说。
Overseas Uighur groups have been making more and more requests to use the railway, said the Rev. Marcus Ramsey of the Macau Interfaith Network, whose group collaborates with other missionary groups and helped the 22 Uighurs leave China.
海外维吾尔团体越来越多的要求使用地下系统，澳门各教派网络的Rev. Marcus Ramsey说。Rev. Marcus Ramsey的团体和其它教会团体合作帮助了这22名维吾尔人离开中国。
Another Macau-based missionary, who didn't want to give his name because of concerns about official retribution, said the network had a few requests for help from Europe-based Uighur Christians before the July violence, but requests have since surged.
另一名澳门传教士因害怕官方迫害而不愿透露姓名，他说，7月份暴乱之前有欧洲的维吾尔基督徒也向系统要求帮助，但是自从7月份暴乱后这种要求大量增多。
He dismissed the idea of possible tensions between the Muslim Uighurs and the Christian Chinese who help them cross China.
他不考虑穆斯林维吾尔族和帮助他们穿越中国的基督教中国人之间可能存在摩擦的想法。
"This is what it means when they ask, 'What would Jesus do?'" he said.
“这是当他们问‘基督会怎么做？’时所意味的。”他说。
Hassan did not want to talk about any involvement with the missionary network, saying only "some locals from the China side helped."
Hassan不想谈论任何和传教士网络相关的事情，只是说“中国方面的一些本地人有帮助。”
Now, however, China has tightened border controls and passing through Vietnam is no longer possible, he said.
不过现在中国收紧了边境控制，穿过越南不再可行，他说。
The missionaries sounded more optimistic. "The first group took two months," the Macau-based missionary said, "but some things can be streamlined next year."
传教士们听起来更加乐观。“第一批花了两个月，”这位澳门传教士说，“但是明年有些事会效率更高。” |
