\">(Reuters) &#8211; China has moved a prominent ethnic Mongolian rights activist to a &#8220;luxury resort&#8221;, a rights group said on Thursday, in the first account of his whereabouts in more than a year since he was put under house arrest.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">Hada, who like many ethnic Mongolians in China uses a single name, was tried in China&#8217;s vast northern Inner Mongolia region in 1996 and jailed for 15 years for separatism, spying and supporting the Southern Mongolian Democratic Alliance, which seeks greater rights for ethnic Mongolians.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">He was released in December 2010 and then had to serve a separate sentence, &#8220;four years of deprivation of political rights&#8221;, Tao Jian, the deputy Communist Party boss of Inner Mongolia&#8217;s law and order committee, said in March.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">Hada has since been transferred to the resort in the Chifeng municipality of Inner Mongolia, the New York-based Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Centre (SMHRIC) said in an emailed statement, citing Hada&#8217;s uncle, Haschuluu.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">The news comes just a couple of weeks after blind Chinese legal activist Chen Guangcheng escaped house arrest and sought refuge in the U.S. embassy in a drama that has made him a symbol of resistance to China&#8217;s shackles on dissent.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">Few other details were available about Hada&#8217;s whereabouts or the conditions or term of his stay, and government officials in Inner Mongolia, a semi-autonomous provincial region on China&#8217;s northern border, were not available for comment.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">Chinese authorities often place released political prisoners under house arrest or otherwise restrict their movements and contact with the outside world.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">OFFER OF &#8220;BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND&#8221;<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">Haschuluu told the group that Hada was in poor health and had rejected an offer to go free along with family members in exchange for signing a paper that would be tantamount to admitting wrongdoing.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">Hada&#8217;s wife, Xinna, who has denied her husband is a separatist, was jailed for three years in April for &#8220;engaging in illegal business&#8221;, the group said.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">&#8220;This is a completely trumped-up charge used by the authorities to have the family cooperate and keep them quiet,&#8221; Enghebatu Togochog at the SMHRIC said in emailed comments to Reuters.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">Xinna was living in her rented warehouse with her son, Uiles, in Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia, because their house had been confiscated, the group said, citing Haschuluu.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">Chinese authorities had offered Xinna and Uiles good jobs, nice cars, a luxury house and a special offer of a &#8220;beautiful girlfriend&#8221; to Uiles if they cooperated with the authorities, or risk arrest, detention and imprisonment, the group said.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">Hanshuulan, Xinna&#8217;s mother, told SMHRIC that they had rejected the offer.<\/span><\/div><div><a href=\"http:\/\/thelede.blogs.nytimes.com\/2011\/12\/05\/journalists-should-be-government-mouthpieces-chinas-state-tv-president-says\/?ref=china#h[]\" style=\"color: #034af3;
