Yangjin Dulam told reporters that China’s human rights situation is very poor. Our Inner Mongolia cannot even mention Mongolia. When we say that Mongolia will become a separatist, the police often arrest, track, monitor and suppress the Mongolians. Nowadays, herders everywhere protest in front of the government and begin to voice their legitimate rights and interests. This is the main result of our struggle. Herders’ pastures were encroached, and 90% of herders carried huge debts. A large number of Han Chinese migrated to Inner Mongolia, over-mining, beating herders and even killing the lives of herders, can be called lawless. The groundwater level drops, and the government often disperses the clouds, causing the grasslands to be dry all year round. The Mongolians used to fear that the flocks were eaten by wolves. Today, the Mongols are afraid that the grasslands will be occupied by the government.
Yangjin Dulam has no human rights at all, and the police often follow her up. During the detention, Sunid Zuoqi banner police did not let her sleep for 24 hours, nor gave dinner. They also said to Yangjin Dulam that, “What are you, you are a disgusting fly, I can pinch you at any time.” But she did not yield. After Yangjin Dulam was released, he released a video saying that regardless of the lives and deaths of the people, wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance, and I will fight bravely. ”

Herdsmen and people in Southern Mongolia have been fighting bravely since Mergen, the grassland hero, who was murdered for defending his homeland in 2011, the struggle of herdsmen has entered a new radical stage. Hundreds of people were arrested for more than 400 forms of struggle, including demonstrations, sit-ins, petitions, leaflets, road closures and attacks on government buildings.
Yangjin dulam, Dabharbayar, Han Shine, Hada, Almas and others have been still fighting for justice. On December 25, 2017, local police used tanks to suppress the herdsmen’s protest after the herdsmen held a protest in Onniut banner. Since then, the government has further intensified its crackdown on herdsmen.
Ms. Bao Gu niang, Hai wang min, Ying ge, Man liang, Urgamal and others were arrested without release. On December 17, 2017, the court of Zarud banner of Tongliao city sentenced 35 herdsmen to five years in prison for “endangering national security” and “attacking government organs”.
In Southern Mongolia, the law only punishes anti-corruption herdsmen, but not corrupt officials who harm herdsmen’s interests. According to the questionnaire survey of herdsmen conducted by the Southern Mongolian Congress, corrupt officials were never severely punished in the laws of Southern Mongolia, only those who harm the interests of han people are called crimes, while those who harm the interests of mongolians are not called crimes. Anti-corruption actions in Southern Mongolia have become the actions of the government to protect corrupt officials.
Colonial rule refers to the policy of a great power to turn a small and weak country into a colony or semi-colony through political interference, economic exploitation and military aggression. The means of colonial rule were usually violence, terror, bloody repression, etc. The communist party is colonizing Southern Mongolia. The communist party is carrying out a policy of genocide in Southern Mongolia. Since 1948, United Nations has defined “genocide” as an international crime.
From 1966 to 1976, the Communist Party of China launched the “cultural revolution” movement under the name of “digging the Southern Mongolian party” and carried out the genocide against the Southern Mongolian people. About 27,900 mongolians had died during the cultural revolution according to Chinese official statistics. But scholars believe half a million mongolians had been arrested and more than 100,000 had died. In 2017, the Southern Mongolia Congress launched the “cultural revolution massacre of southern Mongolia” application for the world heritage site.
Unfortunately, Southern Mongolia is now experiencing the Cultural Revolution again. It has been 70 years since UN adopted the universal declaration of human rights. However, China has never respected human rights nor implemented the provisions of the universal declaration of human rights. The status of Southern Mongolia, one of the world’s largest conlonized country, is a prime example.
