 In recent days, there have been incidents in which mass protesters in Inner Mongolia replaced their mother tongue with Chinese. The local police have stepped up their efforts to arrest protesters in recent days. Some people from the Inner Mongolian police disclosed that their police station now has new arrest targets almost every two to three hours, but many Mongolian policemen refuse to attend.

Since the Inner Mongolia Department of Education issued a document on August 26, requiring all primary and junior high school primary subjects to be taught in Chinese instead of Mongolian, mass protests have continued to erupt in various areas of Inner Mongolia, and the police have also been arresting people participating in the struggle.

After Zhao Kezhi, the Minister of Public Security of the Communist Party of China, visited Inner Mongolia from August 29 to September 2, the pressure of the Inner Mongolia police to suppress the protests of the people increased significantly. As of September 2 to 3, the police have offered a reward for being wanted. Hundreds of protesters. At the same time, officials also sent personnel to the homes of Mongolian residents and forced them to sign a letter of guarantee, promising not to oppose the bilingual plan, otherwise they would be arrested.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Ochir Bao, a resident of Inner Mongolia, said that her grandson has now had to go back to the National Experimental School for classes because his parents’ work unit threatened to expel their parents if their children did not attend classes.

Ezil said that although he hopes his grandson will go to school, he "cannot forget his mother tongue." She sighed and said: "In what century are we living? They took our rights away."

A local Mongolian police officer who requested anonymity disclosed to the Los Angeles Times that in the past two weeks, all security forces in Inner Mongolia have been working overtime. The police station where he works has arrested several people every day for two weeks. Recently, there have been new arrest targets almost every 2 to 3 hours, usually people who participated in anti-Chinese teaching demonstrations or supported protest actions on the Internet.

The policeman also confirmed that the police sent people into the homes of Mongolians and asked them to sign a letter of undertaking without saying anything to oppose the bilingual plan. If people do not cooperate with the police's request, they will be arrested or marked as "key individuals" in the police database, and will be subject to targeted surveillance by the police in the future. The source said it was "very scary." Among those arrested were the elderly, pregnant women and middle school students.

The Mongolian public security officer said that he and many other Mongolian public security officers with school-age children were unwilling to participate in the crackdown and simply refused to attend work. He said: "I am a Mongolian, and I will not arrest a Mongolian."

He further stated that there is "no legal basis" for the police to arrest people fighting for the rights of mother tongue.

The Mongolian public security officer said that with the lessons learned from Tibet and Xinjiang, it is estimated that the Chinese Communist Party will not be soft on Inner Mongolia’s opposition to Chinese teaching. Therefore, the struggle of the Mongolians needs the attention of the world.
