Current Tensions in Xinjiang-China

[master_fx]

wow, china is torturing people in a faktitous country, did u even look at a map before making that thread?

is not called torturing, is called liberating their mind from the evil democrazist.. thats y is called People's Liberation Army!
lol

 

[bushsuck]

lol, u gotta try better. at least liberation sounds better than bringing the democracy as the americans call it, of course the only difference is, americans are bringing democracy to "terrorists" for defending foriegn territory, the chinese are liberating terrorists for stopping stuff from being blow up.

China's Xinjiang hit by violence

Three people have been killed and more than 20 injured in violence in the city of Urumqi in China's restive Xinjiang region, state media says.

Xinhua news agency said police restored order after demonstrators attacked passers-by and set fire to vehicles.

Xinhua did not say how many people were involved or what their motive was.

But activists and eyewitnesses said that those involved in the unrest were minority Muslim Uighurs. An overnight curfew has been declared.

Xinjiang is home to about eight million Uighurs, some of whom want independence.

"It started as a few hundred, and then there were easily over 1,000 involved," one unidentified eyewitness told Reuters news agency.

Ethnic tensions

Adam Grode, an American national studying in Urumqi, said he has seen protesters knocking over police barriers and smashing bus windows.

Police responded with tear gas, hoses and batons, he told the Associated Press news agency, and once night fell more police and soldiers poured into the city.

Uighur activists in Japan and Germany said that they had received reports of multiple arrests.

Xinhua said that the three dead were Han Chinese.

It is not clear what triggered the unrest, but relations between the Han Chinese community and the Uighurs can be tense.

China enforces tight controls in Xinjiang and rejects calls from the Uighurs for self-rule.

The US state department accuses Beijing of human-rights abuses in the region.

In a report released earlier this year, it said that "severe cultural and religious repression" of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang had increased.

Uighur separatists, meanwhile, have waged a low-level campaign against Chinese rule for decades and there are sporadic outbreaks of violence.

@ Aimraul - Thats today's news, don't you think the news is important, if not then pls ignore it. Why make comments about all Indians?

In case you have not noticed, every riot news in India gets posted here too, why are you so defensive?

Now the toll has increased to 129. The Associated Press: China state media says 129 killed in riots in west . Hope this matter will be solved politically rather than using strong arm tactics.

For the first time, I totally agree with you.

Atleast you are not a hypocrite like many others here, for whom Kashmiri Muslims are brothers and Uhighers Muslims are not.

Thumbs up for your honesty.
