答：这个消息源有图有真相。当然你也可以直接向新疆方面提问，相信你会得到同样的答复。同时，我建议你去问一下土方，他是从什么渠道证明艾衣提“已经死亡”的？如果土耳其方面真的关心艾衣提，难道不应该为他还健康地活着感到高兴吗？

　　最近不少外媒提问了很多类似个案。我们收到问题单后，为了给大家一个负责任的答复，每次都及时联系新疆方面有关部门，但每次认真核查出来的情况都让人啼笑皆非。比如说：我曾在此澄清过CNN问及的一个叫米日古丽·图尔荪的维吾尔族妇女的有关情况。她说她的儿子在乌鲁木齐医院死亡，本人遭到关押。新疆有关部门经过核查发现，她从来没有被关进乌鲁木齐的监狱，她的儿子也没有在乌鲁木齐的医院死亡。这就是一个假消息！但此人居然还被请到了美国国会听证会！

A: The report is a source of information with truth supported by evidence. You may pose your question to authorities in Xinjiang. I believe you will get the same answer. Meanwhile I also suggest that you ask the Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesperson for his source of Heyit's death. If the Turkish side really cares for his conditions, shouldn't they rejoice at the news that Heyit is still alive and enjoying good health?

Lately many foreign media have brought up individual cases. To produce a responsible reply to your questions, we would contact relevant authorities in Xinjiang to make inquiries every time. However, our efforts only led to bewildering discoveries. For example, CNN asked about a Uygur woman named Mihrigul who claimed that her son died in a hospital in Urumqi and that she herself was in custody. However, as I clarified here, we found after verification that none of what she said was true. She was never held in any prison in Urumqi and her son did not die in a Urumqi hospital. So that was fake news. And yet Mihrigul was brought to a US Senate hearing.

　　《纽约时报》来函问到一个叫朱木海的人。他现在在哈萨克斯坦，自称曾在新疆当过警察，并对新疆教培中心发表了大量指责性言论。但经过新疆有关部门认真核查发现，朱木海从未当过警察，仅短暂在当地一个市场做过保安。2011年，他自己偷偷加入哈萨克斯坦国籍，办理了哈萨克斯坦护照，但未向中国当地公安机关报告此情况，隐瞒了双重国籍的身份。2017年7月至2018年6月，朱在奇台县城南市场应聘担任了不到一年的保安，后因个人品性问题被用人单位辞退，去了哈萨克斯坦，编造了很多关于新疆的谣言。

Then there was a letter from New York Times asking about someone named Baim urat who is now in Kazakhstan. He claimed that he used to be a policeman in Xinjiang and made accusations against the education and training centers in Xinjiang. However, after thorough verification with relevant departments in Xinjiang, we found that he never worked as a policeman, but only briefly as a security guard in a local market. In 2011, he secretly became a Kazakhstan citizen and was issued a Kazakhstan passport. But he withheld the information from public security authorities of China. He concealed his dual nationality. From July 2017 to June 2018, he worked as security guard at a market in Qitai County until dismissed by the employer for bad character. After that he went to Kazakhstan and fabricated a lot of rumors about Xinjiang.

　　这两天法新社等媒体来问土耳其外交部发言人声称维吾尔族人艾衣提“在狱中死亡”问题。经新疆有关部门核查，艾衣提没有死亡。昨天我也看到了有关视频，他看起来身体非常健康。希望有关媒体慎重甄别和援引消息源，无论提问还是报道都要更加严肃认真。如果每次提出的个案都是捏造的，查无此人或子虚乌有，会让大家对有关媒体的公信度产生严重怀疑。

　　问：鉴于有关方面称艾衣提现在还活着且状况良好，你能否提供他被拘留的时间、理由及他现在的下落等细节？

Most recently, the AFP and some other media agencies have been asking about the death of Heyit in prison as the Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesperson claimed. After verification with relevant departments in Xinjiang, we found out that Heyit is not dead. Yesterday, I also saw the video clip showing him in very good health. It is my hope that as journalists, you will prudently discern and cite your source and take your questions and coverage more seriously. If time and again you bring up fabricated cases with no truth in them, the credibility of your organization will be seriously doubted.

Q: Given that claim that Abdurehim Heyit is alive and well, could you provide any information about the time of his detention, his whereabouts at the moment, or the reasons for his arrest?
