Hada has long stood as a symbol of peaceful resistance to the Chinese government’s suppression of Southern Mongolian identity, language, and rights. Arrested in 1995 and sentenced to 15 years for “separatism and espionage”, Hada completed his sentence in 2010—yet was never freed. Instead, he was held in secret detention for another four years and has remained under tight surveillance and control ever since.

His writings, including Way Out of Southern Mongolia and Voice of Southern Mongolia, articulate the hopes and demands of the Southern Mongolian people for cultural survival and political freedom.

Hada’s wife, Xinna, and son, Uiles, have also faced systematic harassment, imprisonment and intimidation over the past three decades. Their outspoken defence of Hada and criticism of the Chinese state have made them repeated targets of politically motivated charges and state surveillance.

In recognition of his lifetime commitment to justice, Hada has been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize by four Japanese MPs, along with US Senator Jeff Merkley and Congressman Chris Smith.

Leading figures and organisations—including Human Rights Watch, PEN America, the World Uyghur Congress, International Tibet Network, and the World Mongol Federation—have signed a joint statement demanding:

1. The immediate and unconditional disclosure of Hada’s location and wellbeing.
   
2. His full release and the restoration of his and his family’s basic freedoms.
   
3. International accountability for the Chinese government’s sustained repression.

The Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Center urges human rights defenders, civil society, and international governments to stand with Hada.
