Hada
Nominated for 2025 Nobel Peace Prize by U.S. Lawmakers |
|
|
|
...
U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley and
Representative Chris
Smith have
nominated Southern
Mongolian rights
advocate Hada for
the 2025 Nobel
Peace Prize,
recognizing his
decades-long
struggle for the
rights and
freedoms of the
Mongolian people
in Southern
Mongolia, known
as “Inner
Mongolia”.
Hada has faced
severe
persecution for
his peaceful
advocacy.
In 1995, Chinese
authorities
sentenced him
to 15 years in
prison on
charges
of “separatism” and “espionage.” Even
after serving
his full
sentence,
authorities continued
to detain him
without legal
basis for four
more years.
In 2014, in
extremely poor
health, he
was transferred
to indefinite
secret
detention. In
addition to
Hada’s
suffering,
Chinese
authorities
also detained,
imprisoned and
surveilled his
wife and son,
attempting to
silence his
family’s calls
for justice.
Hada was
nominated
alongside other
prominent human
rights
defenders: Ilham
Tohti, a Uyghur
scholar
imprisoned for
advocating
interethnic
dialogue; Wang
Yi, a Christian
pastor detained
for defending
religious
freedom; Sophia
Huang Xueqin, a
journalist and
women’s rights
advocate;
and Jimmy Lai, a
Hong Kong media
entrepreneur and
democracy
activist. In the
nomination letter Merkley and Smith emphasized ....

Hada
Rushed to Hospital for Urgent Care as Nobel Peace Prize
Nomination Confirmed |
|
|
|
...
On
January 25, 2025,
prominent Southern
Mongolian political
prisoner Mr. Hada
was rushed to a
hospital in the
regional capital
Hohhot by Chinese
State Security
personnel assigned
to monitor him. The
urgent medical
intervention came
shortly after Hada’s
nomination for the
2025 Nobel Peace
Prize by four
Japanese parliament
members was
confirmed. According
to his wife, Xinna,
Hada remains in the
Intensive Care Unit
(ICU) at the
Affiliated Hospital
of the Inner
Mongolia Medical
University.
Photos and video
footage obtained by
the Southern
Mongolian Human
Rights Information
Center (SMHRIC) from
Xinna show Hada
receiving critical
care, lying on an
ICU bed with an
oxygen mask. One
image reveals severe
bruising on his left
leg, marked by dark
purple and black
spots. “On
January 25, State
Security officials
made multiple urgent
calls to my son,
Uiles, informing him
that Hada was in
critical condition
but refusing to
clarify the cause,”
Xinna told SMHRIC in
a phone interview.
“We rushed to the
hospital and found
him on an ICU bed,
barely conscious.” Xinna
further disclosed
that State Security
officials informed
her and Uiles that
Hada’s condition was
life-threatening due
to alleged multiple
organ failure, and
there was no
guarantee of
survival. Although

...
Mr.
Hada, a long-time political prisoner and President
of the Southern Mongolian Democratic Alliance, has
been officially nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace
Prize. The nomination comes from four members of
Japan's National Diet, representing both ruling and
opposition parties. A steadfast human rights
activist, Mr. Hada has dedicated his life to
protecting the rights of Mongolians in Southern
Mongolia, also referred to as Inner Mongolia in
China. Over the past 30 years, he has endured
relentless persecution, including an unjust arrest
in 1995, a 15-year prison sentence, an additional
four years of incarceration, and 11 years of house
arrest. Despite these severe hardships, Mr. Hada has
continued to advocate peacefully for his people's
rights. On January 26th, Hidetoshi Ishii, President
of the Indo-Pacific Human Rights Information Center
and the secretariat for Mr. Hada’s Nobel Peace Prize
nomination, confirmed receipt of an email from the
Norwegian Nobel Committee acknowledging the
nomination. The recommendation was made by four
Japanese lawmakers, including Hiroshi Yamada, Member
of the House of Councillors and Executive Director
of the Southern Mongolian Parliamentary League, and

|
|
|
... On December 19, 2024, Congressman Jim McGovern
(D-MA) introduced H.R. 10537, the House version of the
Southern Mongolian Human Rights Policy Act. This legislation
mirrors the bill introduced earlier in the Senate by
Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Dan Sullivan (R-AK). The
bill seeks to address significant human rights abuses and
safeguard the cultural and linguistic rights of Southern
Mongolians within China. “I am grateful for the partnership
of Senator Jeff Merkley in bringing this legislation forward
to make clear that America supports the aspirations of
Southern Mongolians and opposes the oppressive policies
being implemented by the People’s Republic of China,”
Congressman McGovern said earlier, welcoming the Senate’s
introduction of the bill and expressing his readiness to
work with Senator Merkley to advance the legislation. “The
Southern Mongolian Human Rights Policy Act reaffirms
America’s commitment to fundamental values of human rights
and dignity. It signals that the United States stands with
the Southern Mongolian people in their fight to preserve
their cultural and linguistic heritage, and it sends a clear
message that human rights must be respected everywhere,”
Congressman McGovern emphasized, reaffirming the ....
