The 10 Conditions of Love Page #3

I know this because

I heard their screams all night.

They take you outside once every 45 days.

Even one minute felt like a year.

I could barely walk.

At first I couldn,t see...

Then I saw a bird flying in the sky and

I thought, why wasn't I like that?

I could just fly.

And you see, at this time...

you start to re-evaluate freedom.

You realize you don,t need money...

you don,t need clothes...

You don,t need anything.

And therefore, you are not afraid of death.

When I was in prison I became very sick,

but the authorities didn't care.

Only when Amnesty International,

Human Rights Watch got involved...

did the authorities take me to see doctors.

Wherever I live, I am Chinese.

China is my mother and father.

I swear absolutely for the unification of China.

I said, 'I will not create troubles for you,'...

that national separatists are bad...

that I was wrong, I was bad.

I was told I,d get eighteen

months medical care in the US.

They told me not to engage in political

activities,

or leak any information.

They told us that Rebiya had been freed...

but we had to stay quiet until

she was safely on the plane.

I didn't know what to say.

I was in complete shock.

- Are you going to go to your office?

- Yes, I have a meeting.

- You're not going with her?

- Sounds like Communist activity to me.

- See, he's always calling me a Communist.

- Only Communists have meetings everyday.

- Do I have meetings everyday?

Is that part done?

I need him to get that

translation done immediately.

I told him, 'Don't give me that dirty look.'

Give me a call when you're done,

I'll be here all day.

We have the right to self-determination.

I,m not saying independence,

I,m saying human rights and democracy.

If I lied and told the Chinese what they wanted

to hear, I would never have been imprisoned.

But I spoke the truth, and went to prison.

Yes, it is true they are watching me.

One time my daughter Ray saw these

people...

filming the front of my house.

It was suspicious when he reversed up...

and hit me a second time.

Now I present you with the very best...

of Uyghur culture, music and food...

the very things we wish to preserve,

and the Chinese government seeks to destroy.

They dragged my grandchildren

by their hair into a truck.

After this, 50 to 60 police officers

began beating my sons...

and they ordered my daughter to call me...

so that I could hear them screaming.

I heard my daughter say:

'They're killing my brother.'

She cried, 'Around 50 Chinese

are beating up my brother.'

After this chaotic noise,

the phone was disconnected.

That was the last time I was able

to communicate with my children.
