【新唐人2011年5月26日訊】內蒙西烏旗近年因為開採煤礦導致草場破壞，政府和開礦企業與當地牧民的矛盾日益激化。日前，內蒙維權牧民莫日根，被一輛巨型卡車故意碾壓頭部致死，激發極大民憤。近日，千名居民走上街頭進行抗議，錫林浩特市的2000多名學生更是衝破封鎖、上街示威遊行。
據知情人士介紹，從22號晚間開始，不斷有人來到內蒙古錫林郭勒盟西烏旗政府附近遊行抗議。23號、24號，估計有超過一千人聚集在一起，與前來鎮壓的武警形成對峙。抗議中，有多人被警方抓捕。
抗議活動起因於當地的一宗血案。近來，有上百輛運煤車，晝夜不停的在西烏旗浩勒圖高勒鎮的牧民草場旁飛馳，掀起漫天沙塵、嚴重破壞草場環境。35歲的牧民莫日根，多次就此向政府反映，但沒有任何回應。他於是組織了三十多人，對運煤大貨車進行阻攔。
5月11號凌晨，一輛運煤車故意將莫日根撞倒，並從他的身上和頭顱上碾過，又拖拽150多米，導致莫日根當場死亡。雖然事後這名司機被抓捕歸案，但牧民的憤怒難以平息。
美國「中國反政治迫害同盟」執行長劉因全介紹，中共雖然在少數民族地區實施自治，實際仍由「黨委系統」領導，黨委第一把手—-黨委書記一定是漢人。
劉因全（美國中國反政治迫害同盟執行長）：「在中國，少數民族他的權益就更得不到保障了，因為我們知道，中國（共）政府它一黨專制，他對廣大的漢族人他們都進行殘酷的剝削、壓迫、打擊、迫害，對少數民族又牽涉了一個民族問題，對他們的打擊就更嚴厲了！」
當地牧民認為，一直組織維權的莫日根被煤車撞死，是一場畜意謀殺，事件被公布到網上後，有人稱莫日根為另一個“錢雲會”。
劉因全：「內蒙古的這個事件，我想有點和錢雲會事件，是有點雷同，也屬於中共的黑社會化！中共的官商勾結，加上他們的黑社會化，製造的一個慘案！我相信這個事態發展下去，會大大的震動中共政權，大大的震動中共的這種壓迫少數民族的政策。」
去年（2010年）12月，浙江樂（音:月）清維權人士錢雲會被卡車碾壓致死，他曾多年代表農民上訪，抗議土地被政府強徵用於修建電廠。但警方宣稱，錢雲會死於“交通肇事”，而不是謀殺。
有知情人士向《德國之聲》透露，西烏旗政府為平息事態，在莫日根死後，試圖對他家屬進行安撫，包括給予撫慰金近60萬元及55平米樓房一套等，但莫日根的家屬表示“要說法，要尊嚴”，要求當地政府對莫日根維護草場的行為給予肯定、召開追悼會，但當地政府沒有進行回應。
就在莫日根血案後數天，錫林郭勒盟阿巴嘎旗瑪尼圖煤礦也爆發惡性事件，煤礦主糾集工人暴力毆打當地抗議民眾，導致一死七傷。
這兩起惡性事件引來當地抗議浪潮不斷。據知情人士向《新唐人》透露，5月24號，內蒙古錫林浩特市 “市蒙中”“錫蒙中”“職業中學’等學校的2000多名學生，去市政府進行示威。知情者說，學生們為了自己民族的屈辱而感到痛苦和激憤，不顧學校的強力封鎖衝出學校。
抗議學生向當局提出條件，包括合理解決莫日根血案、阿巴嘎旗煤礦毆打致死案，並強調當局必須承諾“以後，尊重牧民的利益和人權。”
學生們還呼籲更多老百姓了解社會動態，維護民族權益。
另據知情人士透露，目前牧民正醞釀5月30號在呼和浩特市舉行更大規模的示威活動。
西烏旗位於內蒙古自治區錫林郭勒盟東部著名的烏珠穆沁草原，當地經濟一直以傳統畜牧業為主。但近年當局開始大力開採煤礦，草場遭到嚴重破壞。

Outrage at Inner Mongolia Murder
Pastures in Xiwuqi, Inner Mongolia were damaged
in recent years, due to coal mining.
Conflicts escalate daily with the herders
and the government. Recently, Mu Rigen,
an Inner Mongolian human rights activist,
was intentionally hit and killed by a truck.
This enraged the public and 1000 residents
took to the streets in a protest.
2000 students from Xilinhot broke through blockades
to demonstrate on the streets as well.
According to insiders, from the night of May 22,
many people came to protest
near the city government in Xiwuqi, Inner Mongolia.
On May 23 and 24, approximately 1000 people
gathered and were in confrontation with armed police.
Many people were arrested.
The protest arises from a local murder case.
Lately, dozens of coal-transporting trucks
are driving across the pastures of the herders,
destroying them. Mo Rigen, a 35-year-old herder,
appealed to the government many times but was ignored.
He gathered over 30 people to try
and stop these gigantic trucks.
In the early hours of May 11, a truck intentionally
hit Mo Rigen and drove over his body and head.
Mo Rigen died at the scene.
Although the driver was later arrested and charged,
herders’ anger could not be so easily appeased.
“Chinese Alliance Against Political Oppression”’s
CEO, Liu Yinquan says that although China grants
autonomy to areas with large ethnic populations,
they are still part of the political party system.
The local party head has to be of a Han ethnicity.
Liu Yinquan: “In China minority ethnicities’ rights
are even less protected. Chinese Communist Party
CCP) is one-party authoritarian in nature.
It already engages in cruel persecution
and oppression of the majority of Han populace.
It tyrannizes minority ethnicities even more!”
Local herders believe that Mo Rigen’s death
was a murder. After the news came out on the net,
some called Mo Rigen another “Qian Yunhui.”
Liu Yinquan: “I think the Inner Mongolia incident
is similar to the Qian Yunhui incident.
It also shows the gang-involvement of the CCP!
CCP’s corruption and gang-involvement has caused
another tragedy! I believe if this continues
it will greatly undermine CCP’s political power
and change CCP’s policy of oppressing ethnicities.”
In December 2010, human rights activist
Qian Yunhui was hit and killed by a truck.
He represented farmers many years in their appeals
against the government seizing their land
to build a power plant. Authorities insist however,
that Qian was not murdered but died in an accident.
An insider told Deutsche Welle that to calm people,
the Xiwuqi Government tried to pacify the family
of Mo Rigen’s by giving them RMB600,000
and a 55 square meter condo. But his family said,
“There must be law; there must be dignity.”
They asked the local government to give affirmation
to the acts of Mo Rigen to protect the pastures,
and to host a memorial, but received no response.
Only a few days after Mo Rigen’s murder,
there was an incident in the same locality
in which a coal mine owner called on miners
to brutally beat local protesters
leaving one dead and seven injured.
These events incited continuous local protests.
An insider told NTD on May 24, that 2000 students
from three local high schools went to demonstrate
outside the local government. He said that students
were angered by the humiliation of their ethnicity
and disregarded the school’s attempts
to prevent them from leaving the school.
The protesting students stipulated terms for CCP,
including resolving Mo Rigen’s murder case
and the violent “beating-to-death” incident
by coal miners. They demanded that CCP respect
“the rights and interests of the herding people.”
The students also urged more ordinary people
to show understanding towards the current events
and protect their ethnicity’s rights and interests.
Insiders say that they are planning bigger protests
in the city of Hohhot on May 30.
Xibuqi is located in the famous Chu Min Qin plains
of Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Their economy has always been primarily based
on herding. Recently the government has engaged
in aggressive coal mining, damaging the plains.
