ウラン鉱山の核汚染を直訴、公安に拘束　中国

　ニューヨークに本部を置く人権団体「中国人権」は１９日までに、中国甘粛省のウラン鉱山をめぐる不正と環境への核汚染の実情を中央政府に直訴するため北京に滞在していた男性が、公安当局に拘束されたまま行方不明になっていると発表した。
　男性は、甘粛省甘南チベット族自治州にある「７９２ウラン鉱山」の従業員で、４月２８日に北京市の北京南駅近くで拘束された。
　男性は、経営者と省の官僚が結託して「資源が枯渇した」として２００２年に閉山手続きを取りながら、実際は採掘を続けて巨額の不正利益を上げていることや、廃棄物を河川に流すなどして深刻な核汚染を引き起こしていると訴えていたという。
　中国人権は中国政府に対し「著しい人権侵害」として男性の釈放を求めるとともに、核汚染に対する対策を講じるよう要求した。（共同）

Activist Disappears after Reporting Nuclear Contamination

August 19, 2005

Human Rights in China (HRIC) has learned that a Gansu uranium mine employee has been missing for 110 days after being detained by public security police following his attempts to petition officials over severe radiation poisoning affecting local residents.

Sources in China told HRIC that Sun Xiaodi, an employee of the Gansu No. 792 Uranium Mine, was in Beijing to petition central authorities when he was interviewed by an AFP journalist around 6 p.m. on April 28. After the interview, Sun headed back to the "Petitioners’ Village" near Beijing’s Southern Train station, but when he reached the southern corner of Taoranting Park, two men in civilian dress emerged from an unmarked car, and with the help of some men from another car standing nearby, they bundled Sun into the first car and drove away. Many people witnessed Sun’s abduction, and word quickly spread throughout the Petitioners’ Village.

Sources further report that on the evening of April 29, several plainclothes police officers searched the Beijing home of a friend of Sun Xiaodi, then took the friend to a State Security Bureau office in the southern suburbs. They reportedly told the friend that Sun was a "wanted criminal" and that he had committed a "very serious crime related to state secrets." Police also produced Sun’s cellular phone, wallet, telephone diary and other personal belongings, as well as a document purportedly written by Sun, in which he acknowledged being detained and made certain representations.

Sources say that on June 20, this same friend was summoned to the State Security Bureau again and was told that following investigations by Gansu authorities, Sun Xiaodi had been escorted back to Gansu. In the meantime, between June 14 and July 8, the Gansu PSB had deployed police officers several times to the No. 792 Uranium Mine and had summoned several employees, questioning them about Sun’s allegations concerning the mine. Sun’s daughter, Sun Haiyan, in the meantime had inquired into her father’s whereabouts many times between May 29 and mid-July, but was repeatedly told by Beijing authorities that they had not detained Sun, and that they had no knowledge of his whereabouts. Sun’s family initially maintained a low profile concerning his disappearance in hopes that the matter would be resolved quickly, but they are now seriously concerned over his welfare, and are appealing to the international community for assistance. Sun Haiyan’s open letter is appended to this press release.
