China's other oppression - Muslim Uighurs in Xinjiang


While the eyes of the media are focused on the oppression of Tibet, far away to the northern reaches of the worlds greatest nation(population over 1.2 billion), lies the province of Xinjiang surrounded by Mongolia, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, India, Tibet, Chinhai, and Gansu.
Once backed by the US to rebel, the situation in this harsh land is dire.

Of course China's opening up, as evidenced by the media coverage of the 2008 earthquake allowed to be seen by the world...nobody is watching what goes on in their back yard.
