Chinese Police Shoot at Uighur Protesters in Xinjiang
From The Epoch Times:
A witness in the Xinjiang region of China has reported that Chinese soldiers shot at Uighur protesters Sunday, causing many deaths and injuries. They said that dead bodies were seen being put into military vehicles.
Uighurs were protesting in the northwestern Chinese city of Urumqi after an incident in a toy factory in Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province a week ago. Allegedly, a fight broke out in the factory between several hundreds of Uighur and Han Chinese workers after a rape. Apparently there were 118 wounded and two female Uighur workers killed. All Uighur workers were fired following the incident—causing protests to build in Urumqi, according to state media.
