Dozens of people have died in
attacks and clashes in a restive area of China’s far
western region of Xinjiang, state media said on
Tuesday.
Reports says police reportedly shot dead “dozens of
members of the mob” who carried out a “terrorist
attack” early Monday on a police station.
The group also attacked government offices and
civilians in Elixku township in Xinjiang’s Shache.
“A gang armed with knives attacked a police station
and government offices in Elixku township, and some
moved on to the nearby Huangdi township, attacking
civilians and smashing vehicles as they passed,” an
official source said.
“Dozens of Uighur and Han civilians were killed or
injured,” the agency quoted local police as saying,
referring to the region’s Uighur ethnic minority and
the Han Chinese majority who make up more than 90
per cent of China’s population.
“Initial investigation showed that it was a
premeditated terror attack,” the agency reported.
But Dilxat Raxit, a spokesman for the Munich-based
World Uighur Congress, quoted local sources as
saying that the clashes followed a large protest
against the Chinese government’s “extreme
suppression” of Uighurs.
Armed police clashed with the protesters, killing 20
Uighurs and injuring 10, Raxit said in a statement.
Thirteen police officers were also killed in the
clashes, and about 67 people were arrested, he said.
Raxit warned that China’s “provocation and
discrimination” against Uighurs, a mainly Muslim
minority, risked causing more local conflict in
Xinjiang.
China’s ruling Communist Party has launched a
major crackdown on terrorism and separatism in
Xinjiang following a spate of recent attacks that were
blamed on Uighurs, including one that left 39 dead
and 94 injured in Urumqi, the regional capital, on
May 22.
Uighurs make up about eight million of Xinjiang’s
21.8 million people.

The Chines government is not as docile and insensitive as your government. They surely will nip the situation in the bud before it become a monsterous cancer capable of spreading to other regions. Only clueless folks will find fault with the measure the Premier has taken. Wish our dear gov't had taken a queue, this bh scourge and menace wouldn't have escalated to this magnitude.
