Breaking News – Police manhunt for Uyghur man
After arrests of many Uyghur men on March 30th in Yining’s Alamu Tuya village, police are still searching for one man. It is suspected this man is hiding in the village, thus for more than ten days police have completely blockaded traffic around the village, and implemented a thorough search. Police has arrested about 40 villagers.
With regard to the Uyghur man whom police claim to be in possession of weapons and has labelled a ‘terrorist’ threat, a local Han ethnic resident said in an interview, “Everything is so expensive now, a bag of flour costs 60 to 70 dollars, and a bag of wheat costs 70 to 80 dollars, prices are too high. Some people cannot afford to live, thus they turn to protest and revolt.”
After recent ordeals in Lahsa, the Chinese Communist regime is heightening security preparations ahead of the Beijing Olympic Games. Such work in Xinjiang is focused on the crack down of supposed “terrorist organizations”. Police have treated any violent activity in Xinjiang, involving Uyghurs, as ‘terrorist activities’.
