Inner Mongolian Official Falls to Death with Note Citing Pressure in Protecting Native Language, Husband Silenced by Domestic Security Police
33 year-old Inner Mongolian official Surnaa fell to her death from her residence on the early morning of 4 September. The police claimed that the ethnic Mongolian employee of the government of Alxa League had been suffering from depression, but a death note attributed to the deceased circulating on the Internet suggests that her death was related to the Mongolians’ ongoing movement to protect their native tongue.
Protests broke out recently in places including Tongliao City and Urad Middle Banner with Mongolian farmers and herdsmen resisting the authorities’ push for Mandarin as the medium of instruction. Over the past week, there have been reports of people mysteriously falling to their death during the protests. The authorities have blocked the information, leaving the names and the backgrounds of the deceased unknown.
Surnaa was the fourth person to have fallen to death since the demonstrations began. Her husband, Altanbagan, has confirmed the incident. Speaking to Radio Free Asia (RFA), Mongolian scholar and advocate of farmers’ and herdsmen’s rights Kubis confirmed that “a civil servant in Alxa League has committed suicide.” Another Mongolian said that “a Mongolian woman in Alxa League jumped to her death in protest of the government’s abolishment of the Mongolian language as the medium of instruction,” noting that “the details are still being verified.”

A person from the organiser believed that Inner-Mongolia was a model and obedient autonomous region. It is not understandable of why the authority still push forward the policy.
Originally a Mongolian now residing in Japan, Yang Haiying, the Professor in Shizuoka University analyzed that the Chinese Government wanted to strengthen Chinese teaching promotion was as they are worried about the separatism appeared in Mongolia. However, he said that it would be counterproductive if the language diversity is not preserved.

日籍蒙族教授認為中國應維持語言多樣性 否則適得其反
在日本的蒙古族人早前遊行，抗議内蒙古推行的漢語教學政策。有參與者批評當局謀殺蒙古語，有組織者認為，内蒙是模範和聽話的自治區，不理解當局為何强推政策。 已入籍日本、本身是蒙古族的靜岡大學教授楊海英分析，內地當局加強推動漢語教學，是擔心内蒙出現分離主義。但他認為應該保留語言多樣性，否則會適得其反。

Turning masses against the masses is an oft-used tactic by #ccp to make sure it remains on top of everyone. So don’t think persecution of ethnic minorities will stop, or in fact, the persecution of any random groups.

"The growing international willingness to condemn the Chinese government forced it to respond,” the report said. We all have a part to play. Even if our power as individuals is small, but together we can make changes!
