【新唐人2014年04月11日讯】北京“中央民族大学”副教授伊力哈木•土赫提，今年１月15号被警察带走，近3个月来，家人一直没有办法见到他。4月8号，他的女儿菊尔•伊力哈木在美国华盛顿，出席了美国国会中国问题委员会的听证会。会上，她表示，父亲从来没有主张分裂国家，而在北京的家人被控制。
现年19岁的菊尔•土赫提（JewherIlham），在美国国会听证会上作证说，中共当局指控她父亲煽动分裂和仇恨、支持恐怖主义，并没有根据。而且她父亲反对暴力。
现在伊力哈木被关押在新疆乌鲁木齐市公安厅看守所，没有人能探视他。
菊尔说，她在北京的家人也受到集体惩罚，当局还派出8名警察24小时监控她的家人。
伊力哈木的一位表姐，10号接受《新唐人》采访，她说，现在想进去伊力哈木家探望他的家人，都会受到盘查。而伊力哈木在新疆的母亲，因为担心儿子，天天哭，已住过两次院。
伊力哈木表姐﹕“不让外边的人进去。以前来往的朋友也不敢跟她说话，也不敢跟她来往，很少来往，现在。孩子小的太小了，四岁不到，大的孩子有点内向，大儿子已经都一年级了，不(想)上学，说同学跟他不玩(在一起)。”
菊尔指出，她的7岁弟弟亲眼看见父亲被警察带走，现在变得孤僻内向，并经常做噩梦。
伊力哈木妻子古再努尔也向《新唐人》表示，她现在特别担心大儿子的身体和心理。
北京维族学者伊力哈木•土赫提妻子古再努尔﹕“孩子他就特别怕，我家外面24小时他们(警察)坐着，他们自己也（觉得）不安全，孩子，怕爸爸的安全、爸爸的身体。孩子心里特别不舒服，他们天天想爸爸，老师问很多问题他什么都没说话，他就哭。我现在特别难受，那个孩子的事。他就(做)梦，天天做梦，他有时候(睡下去)马上起来…妈妈，我想爸爸，我做梦了。”
伊力哈木是《维吾尔在线》网站的创办人。他的数名维吾尔学生，包括《维吾尔在线》的前任编辑和翻译等人，在伊力哈木被警方带走的同一天也被警方抓走。
今年2月20号，乌鲁木齐人民检察院以“涉嫌分裂国家罪”，正式逮捕伊力哈木。同一天，他的学生之一，“中央民族大学”硕士生柏尔哈提.哈力木拉提，也以同一罪名被批准逮捕。
古再努尔﹕“包括他带的那6个学生，他们也天天打电话问我有消息吗﹖他们老师有消息吗﹖我说没有，已经没有消息了。他们学生的家长现在也特别担心。他们就已经不让见，真的我们就没有办法，我们现在(只能)等他们的消息。”
菊尔指出，中共囚禁他父亲唯一的原因，仅仅是他主张人权，并替维吾尔人争取平等待遇。
去年2月，伊力哈木原定前往美国“印弟安那大学”，担任一年的客座教授，菊尔当时也跟随父亲去美国，但父亲在北京机场被扣时，坚持让女儿上飞机。菊尔抵达美国后，一直在“印弟安纳大学”读英语。
伊力哈木自2009年7月新疆发生大规模骚乱后，就被当局软禁。他质疑中共当局对新疆多次发生暴力事件的解释，并且公开批评中共的新疆政策。
古再努尔﹕“(新疆)那边给他的罪我觉得太过分了。他哥哥也去了两三次了，我都没去。他们也不让见，律师也去了两次，也不让见，律师也说，我们就等吧﹗”
古再努尔与代理律师李方平商量再次到乌鲁木齐，申请与丈夫会面。
北京律师李方平﹕“我跟他们先取得联系再说吧，否则的话，过去的话又不接待，又以上次说的那个理由(不让见) ，上次已经以涉及所谓的国家秘密，妨碍侦查。”
美国国务院发言人普萨基，对伊力哈木遭拘留深表关注，她呼吁中共当局确保土赫提及他的学生，享有国际人权范围里，应当享有的相关保障和自由，包括言论自由。

Jailed Ilham Tohti’s Daughter Refused Interview,
Give’s Evidence to US Congress:
Associate Professor of Central University for Nationalities
Ilham Tohti, was intercepted by police on Jan. 15.
During the past three months, his family have been unable
to see him.
On April 8, his daughter Jewher Ilham, attended a hearing held
by a US Congress panel looking into human rights in China.
She said, her father has never attempted dividing China,
but now her family in China are being suppressed by the Chinese
Communist Party(CCP) regime.
Nineteen year old Jewher Ilham, told US congress, the CCP
Authorities accused his father of instigating divide and hatred,
and supporting terrorism, which has no grounds.
In fact her father opposes all forms of violence.
Currently, Ilham Tohti is being detained in the Custody Centre
of Urumqi Municipal Public Security of Xianjiang.
He has been refused permission for an interview.
Jewher Ilham said, her family members in Beijing are also
being punished by the Government.
There are eight officers dispatched to watch over her family,
with 24-hour surveillance. .
An elder female cousin of Ilham Tohti, was interviewed by NTD.
She says, all visitors to Ilham Tohti’s home, are forcibly examined.
His mother in Xinjiang is seriously concerned
about her son and cries everyday.
She had been sent to the hospital on two occasions
since he was detained.
Ilham Tohti’s older female cousin: “Things are decidedly turning
bad for us now.
Past friends who once chatted to Ilham’s wife,
no longer do.
His children are very young and less than
four years of age.
The eldest one is a little introverted and is at grade one
of elementary school.
But he does not want to go to school, saying his school friends
ignore him, they no longer wish to play.”
Jewher Ilham points out, her seven year old brother,
witnessed the process of his dad being arrested.
He has now becomes very anti-social and introverted.
He also often has nightmares.
Ilham Tohti’s wife Guzaili Nu’er told NTD, how she is now
particularly worried about her elder son’s health.
Guzaili Nu’er: “The children feel much fear at present. we are
being watched constantly by the police.
They also do not feel safe with Dad gone.
They fear for his safety too.
It is bringing them much distress, they miss him immensely.
Even when teachers at school ask the elder son questions,
he does not answer, he can only cry.
Their situation is so very sad to see.
The children are having many restless nights,
with many dreams everyday.
Sometimes my son gets up as soon as he’s gone to bed.
He is not getting much sleep.
He says to me, Mum, I am missing dad, and I had a dream.”
Ilham Tohti is the founder of the website “Uyghur Online”.
Some of his Uygur students including the editor
and translator of the website were all caught
by the police in the same day when he was arrested.
On Feb. 20, Urumqi Municipal Procuratorate, officially
arrested Ilham Tohti.
They charged him with conspiring to divide the nation.
On the same day, post-graduate student of Central University
for Nationalities Perhat Xalmurat,
was also arrested and charged with the same crime.
Perhat Xalmurat was at one time, under the supervision
of Ilham Tohti
Guzaili Nu’er: “He (Ilham) was supervising six
post-graduate students.
They all ring me every day about my husband’s situation.
I replied no, no news. Their parents are also worried too.
They are not allowed to interview Ilham Tohti. I have no other ways.
All we can do now is wait for any news.”
Jewher Ilham says, there is only one reason why CCP have
arrested her father.
Its because he is supportive of good human rights and fair
treatment for the Uyghur people
February of last year, Ilham Tohti was scheduled to visit
Indiana Univeristy in US as a one-year visiting professor.
Jewher Ilham was also accompanying her father to the US.
But her dad was detained at the airport, insisting his
daughter be allowed on to the plane.
After arriving in USA, Jewher has been studying English
in Indiana University.
Since large scale turmoil broke out in Xinjiang
in July of 2009,
Ilham Tohti has been under house arrest.
He questioned the excuses of the CCP’s multiple events of
violence in Xinjiang,
He also publicly criticised the CCP’s policies on Xinjiang.
Guzaili Nu’er: “The crime by which they have charged
my husband, is such lies, its ludicrous.
His elder brother has visited him twice,
but I can not go.
He was not allowed to meet with Ilham Tohti.
The lawyer also visited twice, without success too.
The lawyer recommends we wait.”
Guzaili Nu’er is discussing her husbands case with the
lawyer, Mr Li Fangping.
They are preparing to visit Urumqi again, to re-apply
for an interview with her husband.
Beijing lawyer Li Fangping: “Let me first contact them
and then we can decide what to do.
Otherwise, the application is rejected yet again with similar
excuses, and we cannot see him again.
The limp excuse the authorities gave last time, was an issue
of national secrets, hindering detection and investigation.”
US Department of State Jen Psaki, has deep concerns for the
detention of Ilham Tohti.
She called for the CCP authorities to ensure Ilham Tohti
and his students,
the freedom to enjoy relevant security, including free speech
provided by the international human rights standards.
