内蒙古异见人士哈达提名萨哈罗夫奖

被中国当局以阴谋颠覆政府、分裂国家和组织领导反革命集团等罪名监禁15年、本应在2010年12月10日出狱，但至今仍无音讯的内蒙古异见人士哈达，获中国境外多个蒙古人自决组织提名角逐今年萨哈罗夫奖。

因为参与创立“南蒙民主联盟”，主张“争取南蒙自决”，被当局以阴谋颠覆政府、分裂国家和组织领导反革命集团等罪名判监禁15年，剥夺政治权利4年的哈达，是中国一次性坐牢时间最久的异见人士之一。有鉴于哈达一直主张以和平方式解决中国少数民族自决问题，中国境外多个蒙古人自决组织，包括内蒙古人民党、南蒙古人权信息中心和蒙古自由联盟党，提名哈达角逐今年萨哈罗夫奖。

内蒙古人民党主席 席海明说，“我觉得哈达先生，作为内蒙古的蒙古族人获得这个奖是当之无愧的。因为哈达坐满了十五年的监狱。作为内蒙古人，如果不能说是被世界遗 忘的角落，那么也可以说世界对他的关注很不够。那么在这种情况下，作为一个弱势族群的代表是非常困难的，他坐满了十五年监狱。哈达承受的苦难和迫害超乎一般的中国异议人士，“你不要说汉族的很多异议人士，如王军涛、陈子明、‘六四黑手’、王丹等等很多人都是坐监判 刑，但是由于国际社会的压力，他们很多人都是提前出狱，甚至直接从中国到美国去，保外就医。哈达却是整整坐满了十五年。”
席海明主席进一步说，“哈达虽然坐了十五年监狱，但是他没有写悔过书，没有认罪、认错。我觉得他代表了内蒙古蒙古族民众的一种勇气。现在汉族知识分 子有很多人对西藏问题很关注，我觉得这很好，这给我们也带来了一种希望。我觉得第一步关心西藏问题，第二步应该进一步关心维吾尔族，关注蒙古族的问题。现 在有很多汉族知识分子已经开始关注内蒙古问题，对此我非常感谢。我觉得这是中国知识分子的良知所致。”
席海明主席认为，哈达先生的贡献，不仅让人们看到具有悠久历史的蒙古民族的文化和生存权利，对于人类历史文化的传承具有重要意义，而且也让人们看到，内蒙民众的维权运动对于亚洲和中国的现实的民主发展具有非常重要意义。“我认为哈达如果获奖不仅是我们内蒙古蒙古民族的事情，这也是我们整个中国民主运动的一 个重要组成部分。如果中国要民主，没有内蒙古的民主也是不可能民主。所以内蒙古民主是整个中国民主运动的一个重要组成部分，也是新疆、西藏问题，乃至台湾 问题解决的一个重要链条。”

流亡日本的内蒙古人民党秘书长胡必思则表示，如果哈达的提名获得接受，对解决中国少数民族自决的问题会有很大帮助。内蒙古的问题并不是不比西藏和新疆严重，如果哈达的这种提法，以非暴力，（不是）完全分裂出去或是独立出去的，尽量在可行性的范围内，保持能够自决权利，以温和的方法或是谈判的方法，能够提出一种新的解决方法，也是一个新的突破口。”

Biography of Hada

Mr. Hada was born in Khorchin Right Wing Front Banner of Inner Mongolia in 1955. He got his first degree from the department of Mongolian language and Literature at the Inner Mongolian Teacher's College for Nationalities in 1983. After graduation, he worked as an editor at the Inner Mongolian People's

Publishing House for three years. Then he became a graduate student in the department of politics, Inner Mongolian Teacher's University in 1986 and in 1989, he graduated with a master's degree in philosophy.

In October 1989 he opened the Mongolian Academic Bookstore in Hohhot, the capital city of Inner Mongolia.

Since the 1980's he had been an active member of the underground organizations of the Mongols of Inner Mongolia. The goals of those organizations were to preserve and protect the religious and cultural heritage of the Mongols, as well as to fight for the social and political rights of the Mongols, which are guaranteed by the constitution of the People’s Republic of China but never have materialized.

In May 1992, Mr. Hada and other Mongol students and intellectuals established the Southern Mongolian Democracy Alliance (SMDA) and Mr. Hada became the chairman.

He and the SMDA published an underground journal---The Voice of the Southern Mongolia and he also finished a book---The Way Out for the Southern Mongols. In his book, he stated the true facts of what the Chinese Communist government has done to the Mongols of Inner Mongolia, including the following:

Mass killings of the Mongols in Inner Mongolia through waves of political campaigns;
Deprivation of the social and political rights through communist totalitarian regime;
Total destruction to the Mongol religious system, culture and traditional customs;
Gross violation to the fundamental rights of the Mongols;
Mass immigration of the Chinese into Inner Mongolia;
Irreversible destruction of the environment;
Birth-control policies toward the Mongol;
He pointed out in his book that the only way out for the Southern (Inner) Mongols is to stand up and fight for their legitimate rights given by the constitution of the People’s Republic of China.

In 1995, he and the SMDA organized several peaceful demonstrations in the capital city of Inner Mongolia to demand the Chinese government to materialize the rights of the Mongols written in the constitution of the P.R.China as well as in the self-government Constitution of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region.

After organizing a demonstration and school strike among the teachers and students in the universities and colleges of Hohhot in Dec. 1995, Mr. Hada and other dozens of Mongols, including his wife Xinna and his brother Has, were arrested by the authorities. On Dec. 6, 1996, after a year of detention without trial, he was charged with the crimes of separatism and espionage for Mongolia and sentenced to 15 years in jail. His appeal was denied a couple months later and currently, he is imprisoned in the 4-th prison of Inner Mongolia, in city of Chi Feng (Ulaan-Hada).

He has serious health problems, such as stomach ulcer, coronary heart disease and rheumarthritis. Despite the Hada family's continuous demand to give him appropriate medical treatment, his illness remains untreated and his health is deteriorating.

Hada's wife and brother were also arrested with Mr. Hada in 1995 and spent 3 months in prison without charges. During the time, their 4 years old son was left home alone. Hada's bookstore was closed down immediately after his arrest and all the books, research papers and other properties were confiscated as criminal utilities and evidence. A cordless phone was also confiscated because Xinna used it to give interview with the Voice of America. Xinna has been under close surveillance and often questioned by officers from the Bureau of Public Security and the Bureau of National Security. She and her son were detained for 4 days during the celebration of 50th anniversary of establishment of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region in July 1997. The authorities ignored Xinna’s numerous requests to re-open the bookstore to support the family. The authorities don’t allow her to take any jobs and the family’s living condition has been extremely difficult.
