URUMQI - XINJIANG : DARAH UMMAH MENGALIR LAGI




MUHASABAHLAH WAHAI UMMAH


Riot police patrolled a street in the regional capital in China's Xinjiang province on Monday. The Chinese state news agency reported that 156 people were killed and more than 800 injured when rioters clashed with the police in Urumqi, in far western China.


This handout photo released from the Washington-based Uyghur American Association purportedly showed protesters clashing with the police Sunday in Xinjiang.


Uighurs injured at a hospital in the city during a media tour by the authorities on Monday.


Police officers used fire hoses and batons to beat back rioters and detained Uighurs who appeared to be leading the protest, witnesses said.


At least 1,000 rioters took to the streets, stoning the police and setting vehicles on fire. A boy stood amid the burnt wreckage of a bus and shopping stalls in a street in Urumqi.
