CHINA-INTERNAL: INNER MONGOLIA
The Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Center's (SMHRIC) intervention at the United Nations Forum on Minority Issues 10th Session held in Geneva from November 29 to December 1, 2017, as well as the transcripts of responses from a Chinese GONGO (government operated non-governmental organization) and the Chinese Government delegation, were publicised by SMHRIC on December 8, 2017. The statement delivered by the SMHRIC Director Enghebatu Togochog was interrupted by the Chinese Government delegation who asked the chairperson not to allow him from further speaking. The chairperson did not honor the Chinese delegation's request although he warned all speakers not to use any derogatory language. Shortly after the Chinese Government delegation's interruption, a Chinese GONGO representative who identified herself as an "ethnic Mongolian born in China's Inner Mongolia" and an employee of the China Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences responded to Enghebatu Togochog's statement, claiming that "what she has been witnessing is totally different from what was said in the intervention of SMHRIC".
