BEIJING: Riots broke out in the capital city of China’s Muslim-majority Xinjiang autonomous region on Sunday with hundreds of protesters attacking passers-by and torching vehicles.
Xinjiang is home to 8 million Uighur Muslims, a minority group in China, and the region has seen intermittent tensions between Uighurs and China’s majority Han ethnic group. Sunday’s violence in the capital city of Urumqi follows racial violence between Uighurs and Han Chinese that took place in southern China last week and left two Uighurs dead and 118 others injured.
China’s State-run Xinhua agency reported that “an unknown number gathered on Sunday afternoon in Urumqi” and began “attacking passers-by and setting fire to vehicles.” Official reports did not mention the cause behind the violence. Xinhua reported that soon after clashes broke out, “police rushed to the site to maintain order.”
A local journalist, who asked not to be identified, told The Hindu that hundreds of Uighurs had on Sunday gathered to protest last weeks violence between Uighurs and Han Chinese.
A video of Sunday’s protest filmed by an Urumqi resident, a copy of which is with The Hindu, shows a crowd of several hundred gathering in a city street, blocking traffic and raising slogans.
