Armed men attack police station in China’s Xinjiang province, killing officers

BEIJING — Armed men stormed a police station in China’s restive Muslim province of Xinjiang on Monday, killing and wounding several policemen, taking hostages and setting the building on fire, according to a report from the state-run news agency Xinhua.

Several attackers and some hostages were killed in the ensuing gun battle, and several people were wounded, according to the Xinhua report. The precise number of attackers and the number of casualties were not immediately clear.

“A member of the armed police, a security personnel and two hostages were killed during the ordeal,” according to Xinhua, citing unnamed sources with China’s Public Security Ministry.  The report said, “The police quickly converged on the scene and shot a number of rioters while freeing six hostages.”

The attack, in the city of Hotan, marks one of the most serious eruptions of violence since July 2009, when rioting between Muslim Uighurs and ethnic Han Chinese left nearly 200 people dead and many shops and other businesses burned. Two dozen people were executed for the rioting, and hundreds remain missing, presumably detained, according to human rights groups.

Violent attacks like the one on the police station are rare in China, but not unheard of. Previous incidents in Xinjiang have mostly involved roadside bombs or assailants detonating vehicle-born devices near police patrols. In August last year, a bomb carried aboard a three-wheeled vehicle exploded in a crowd in Aksu city in Xinjiang, killing seven people and wounding at least a dozen others.

The 2009 riots prompted a massive security crackdown in the nominally autonomous province, particularly in July, the anniversary of the unrest. Turkic-speaking Uighurs are upset at Chinese migration into what they consider their traditional Muslim homeland, but where Muslims are now outnumbered by Han Chinese.

The Beijing authorities have blamed the previous unrest on “terrorists” seeking the independence of the Xinjiang region from China.  They have specifically pointed to the outlawed East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), which officials have called the principal terrorist threat facing China.

The ETIM has been blamed for several attacks in 2008, including one in Kashgar against border policemen that killed 17 people at the start of the Beijing Summer Olympics.

Xinjiang’s new governor, Zhang Chunxian, appointed in April of last year, took a different tack from his hardline predecessor, emphasizing the need to improve the economy of the province and provide jobs for the Uigher population.

To interact more with the public, Zhang became the highest level Chinese official to set up his own Twitter-like microblogging account, and this month he appeared in photographs in state-run newspapers, tie-less and in shirt sleeves, sauntering through a popular outdoor food market in the provincial capital, Urumqi, eating kebabs with with residents.

Police “gun down” rioters in China’s Xinjiang, at least 4 dead

Police in western China’s restive Xinjiang on Monday “gunned down” several rioters who attacked a police station.

    The violence was the worst Xinjiang has experienced in about a year. Last August, seven Chinese military police were killed when a member of the Uighur minority rammed them with an explosives-laden vehicle in the Xinjiang border region.      

    State television said the latest incident took place in the desert city of Hotan when a mob attacked a police station, taking hostages and setting it on fire.     

    Two hostages, a paramilitary policeman and a guard died in the violence, as well as several of the attackers, it reported.

Six hostages were freed.     

    “Police gunned down several rioters who attacked a police station and killed four people in Hotan city,” the official Xinhua news agency said.     

    “Rioters broke into the police station shortly after 12 p.m. (0400 GMT). They assaulted the police, took hostages and set fire to the station,” it added, citing the Ministry of Public Security.     

    “The police quickly converged on the scene and shot a number of rioters while freeing six hostages.”     

    The situation has now been bought “under control”, the state television said, and a team from the state anti-terrorism office was on its way to the scene.     

    The Xinjiang government was not immediately available for comment.      

    Dilxat Raxit of the Germany-based World Uyghur Congress said residents in Hotan had told his group that police opened fire on a peaceful protest, leading to fighting between the two sides.     

    “The people cannot stand the government’s repression any longer,” he said by telephone. Reuters was not able to independently verify his account.               

    “VIOLENT SEPARATIST GROUPS”     

    Beijing often blames what it calls violent separatist groups in Xinjiang for attacks on police or other government targets, saying they work with al Qaeda or Central Asian militants to bring about an independent state called East Turkestan.     

    Many Uighurs — a Muslim, Turkic-speaking people native to the region — chafe under rule from Beijing and restrictions on their language, culture and religion.     

    They now make up less than half of Xinjiang’s population after decades of immigration by the majority Han from other parts of China.     

    In July 2009, Xinjiang’s capital Urumqi was rocked by violence between majority Han Chinese and minority Uighurs that killed nearly 200 people.     

    Since then, China has executed nine people it blamed for instigating the riots, detained and prosecuted hundreds of others and ramped up spending on security, according to state media and overseas rights groups.      

    Last month, Kazakhstan extradited a Uighur schoolteacher who had been granted U.N. refugee status to face charges of terrorism in China, brushing off concerns he could be tortured and that the charges against him were trumped up.      

    Xinjiang is strategically vital to China and Beijing has shown no sign of loosening its grip.        

    A vast swathe of territory, accounting for one-sixth of China’s land mass, Xinjiang holds oil, gas and coal deposits and borders Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Central Asia.

Deadly attack on police in China's Xinjiang province
18 July 2011 Last updated at 11:03 GMT

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-14186163

Several people have been killed in China's restive Xinjiang province in an attack on a police station.

At least eight hostages were held during the attack by "a mob" in the city of Hotan, state media said.

During a rescue operation two of the hostages, two security personnel and several attackers were killed.

Xinjiang is the home to a largely ethnic Uighur population which feels increasingly pressured by Han Chinese migration and strict controls.

In 2009, deadly ethnic riots erupted in Xinjiang after tensions flared between the Muslim Uighur minority and the Han Chinese, in which nearly 200 people died.

There have also been a number of explosions in Xinjiang in the past, which the government blames on Uighur separatists.

But Uighur activists and human rights groups accuse Beijing of using the issue to crack down on Uighur dissidents, who have complained that waves of Han Chinese migrants have marginalised the Uighur culture.

The situation in Hotan is reported to be "under control".

More than five people are dead after an angry mob attacked a police station in western China.

According to Chinese media reports, a mob attacked the police building in Hotan in the Xinjiang region, taking hostages and setting it on fire.

Paramilitary police are said to have then launched a counter attack in which several hostage takers were killed.

Information about the incident is scarce but one police officer, one paramilitary police officer, an assistant and two hostages were also reportedly killed.

In recent years separatist groups have clashed with local authorities in Xinjiang, but the reason for this attack is not known.

State television says the situation was brought "under control" and a team from the state anti-terrorism office was on its way to the scene.

The Xinjiang government was not immediately available for comment.

Rioting in Xinjiang Claims at Least 4 Lives
Monday, July 18th, 2011 at 11:30 am UTC

http://blogs.voanews.com/breakin ... s-at-least-4-lives/

Chinese state media say at least four people were killed Monday when rioters attacked a police station in western Xinjiang province.

The official Xinhua news agency said the rioters attacked the police station in the city of Hotan, seizing hostages and setting the building on fire. It said additional police converged on the station and shot a number of rioters while freeing six hostages.

The agency said one policeman, a security guard and two hostages were killed. It said a number of hostages were taken to hospital.

Xinjiang in the past has been the scene of violent clashes between ethnic Han Chinese and its native Uighur population. The Chinese government says almost 200 people were killed during ethnic rioting in the region in 2009.

The Associated Press quoted a spokesman for the World Uyghur Congress based in Germany saying he was told that the rioting began after police fired on a demonstration against illegal land seizures.

The spokesman said more than 100 Uighurs had gathered to protest the seizures and to seek information about relatives who disappeared after the 2009 riots.

现在有一批西媒在散播世维会对这次突袭的解释版本,  说成是100维吾尔人聚集在一起举行和平抗议，抗议的原因之一是之前中国政府在和田地区对维吾尔人任意扣押、任意盘查、任意非法监禁，导致大量的维吾尔年轻人失踪；另一方面是所谓的援疆政策，中国大量的企业进入当地，在当地进行圈地，导致维吾尔失去土地和家园。但是抗议活动遭到中国政府的提前镇压。镇压过程中，中国警方采取了粗暴的手段，甚至直接开枪，导致一名维吾尔人重伤，现场直接逮捕了13人，其后果就是发生了进一步的冲突。 这跟暴徒冲进一派出所袭击民警，劫持人质和纵火有什么关系呢？  没有交代， 让读者自己想入非非好了.....

“和田地区今天上午原本是维吾尔人聚集在一起举行和平抗议，但是抗议活动遭到中国政府的提前镇压。镇压过程中，中国警方采取了粗暴的手段，甚至直接开枪，导致一名维吾尔人重伤，现场直接逮捕了13人，其后果就是发生了进一步的冲突。”

迪里夏提告诉记者，抗议的原因有两方面。他说：“抗议者的原因之一是之前中国政府在和田地区对维吾尔人任意扣押、任意盘查、任意非法监禁，导致大量的维吾尔年轻人失踪；另一方面是所谓的援疆政策，中国大量的企业进入当地，在当地进行圈地，导致维吾尔失去土地和家园。”

San Francisco Chronicle:

The Munich-based World Uyghur Congress, citing unidentified people in Xinjiang, said police fired on about 100 ethnic Uighurs protesters in the city's main bazaar, according to a statement from the affiliated Washington-based Uyghur American Association. The demonstration was against land seizures and disappearances after riots two years ago, the group said.

Los Angeles Times

Dilxat Raxit of the World Uyghur Congress told Reuters that police opened fire on peaceful demonstrators, which sparked the fighting.

"The people cannot stand the government's repression any longer," he told the news agency.

New York Times :


Dolkun Isa, The secretary general of the World Uighur Congress, the exile group based in Germany, said in an interview that the assault on the station took place after a crowd of perhaps 100 Uighur protesters massed there to complain about arrests of young men.

Mr. Isa said that, judging by scattered reports, security officers have been cracking down in the last two weeks, searching Uighur homes and detaining many men and boys. Similar crackdowns, called “strike hard” exercises by Chinese officials, have been mounted occasionally in recent years to root out people who might foment unrest.

Supporters of the detained youths gathered at the station and “asked for the local government to release their friends and family,” Mr. Isa said. “But the local government refused to give an answer. The local people got angry and attacked the police station, and some people were killed.”
