The Story:
A video with no sound is like an unpopular story, unknown to most.
Like ours is.
Uyghurs is our name.
For media or historians we are a Turkic ethnic group living in Eastern and Central Asia, primarily in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in the People's Republic of China.
However we are only people, just like you.
"Uyghurs" means also "unified", "united".
United to continue to breathe, to smile, to wake up in the morning and go through the day that will follow, together to survive.
Many humanitarian organizations argue that, under the pretext of helping the United States in the war on terror, China is slowly killing us. Many exiled denounced the systematic violation of human rights by the Chinese authorities to repress any form of our cultural expression.
Now your media speak about 140 dead.
They are not the first ones.
Do not let us be another video with no sound...
The News:
Scores Killed in Clashes in Western China
BEIJING — The Chinese state news agency reported Monday that at least 140 people were killed and 816 injured when rioters clashed with the police in a regional capital in western China after days of rising tensions between Muslim Uighurs and Han Chinese.
The casualty toll, if confirmed, would make this the deadliest outbreak of violence in China in many years.
The rioting broke out Sunday afternoon in a large market area of Urumqi, the capital of the vast, restive desert region of Xinjiang, and lasted for several hours before riot police officers and paramilitary or military troops locked down the Uighur quarter of the city, according to witnesses and photographs of the riot.
