Newborn babies were killed by lethal injection to enforce the CCP’s family planning against the Uyghurs.
““In my time working in hospitals, we could sometimes hear that some babies were born, and they started crying and from this we knew they were alive. But we knew all babies would be given the injection so we knew they would die before they got home,” she said.
Merciless hounding of pregnant women is a striking feature of the draconian clampdowns on extra births, claims Shemsinur, who spoke of the large number of resources used to chase those suspected of flouting family planning regulations. No stone is left unturned to root out secret births, no amount of manpower spared in door-to-door searches to respond to tip offs by whistleblowers.”
“She recounted the tragic death of her sister-in-law, who naively assumed that if she went to a larger town, Karakax, where she was unknown, she could give birth anonymously. This was her “illegal” third pregnancy, and she was expecting twins. Her secret was discovered, and the drug was administered on arrival. Within minutes, not only the babies but also the mother was dead.
“My sister-in-law was very healthy and had no medical condition and just died like that. My husband waited together with my sister-in-law’s husband and just after 15 minutes, less than half an hour a dead body came out. The hospital said she had a heart condition, but I am a doctor, my sister-in-law was thirty years old, and I know she didn’t have a medical condition. The family took the body and they buried her and had a funeral,” she said.”
“In 2008, through bitter personal experience, Shemsinur was shocked to discover that there was a quota system enforced for hysterectomies. (…)
“Each doctor has to remove around two thousand wombs a year,” she had said. “That is our job, we have to do that.””
“Her shocking conclusion, which is as yet untested or researched, but based on personal experience of working in a variety of hospitals around Xinjiang, is that seventy per cent of Uyghur females in the Hotan area had had their wombs removed. “If the authorities found anything in the womb, they used any excuse to remove it,” she said. She assumed the situation in the capital Urumqi was the same. “If a Uyghur woman has a little problem in the womb, they remove it,” she said, citing women she had personally treated. Pointing to her time in the mother and childcare unit in Hotan she said that three out of four women had told her they didn’t have a womb. “Sometimes due to the heavy workload of the birth control department, we came to give a hand. That is how I knew many Uyghur women don’t have wombs,” she said.”
