*PROTEST RALLY: Uyghur Canadians Distraught due to Chinese Government Crackdown in East Turkistan (Ch: **Xinjiang)***
*Date: Wednesday July 8, 2009*
*Time: 3pm to 6pm*
*Location: Chinese Consulate, 3380 Granville Street (at 16^th Ave), Vancouver*

(Vancouver, July 6, 2009): Uyghur Canadians are desperate with worry and grief over the current crackdown in their homeland. On Sunday July 5, Uyghur residents in Urumqi, the capital of Chinese Government occupied East Turkistan (referred to by the Chinese Government as the province of Xinjiang), engaged in peaceful protests that escalated to violence due to the heavy handed and brutal response of Chinese security forces.
Official Chinese Government news sources admit to close to 200 dead and almost 1000 injured, but underground reports smuggled out of the country indicate that the numbers are far higher. As of today, reports allege that more than 411 people are known to have been killed, 1500 injured, and 5000 arrested. A curfew is in place, and the death count continues to grow. Reports also indicate that the protests, and brutal government response, have spread to other cities and the countryside.
Communication systems have been cut, and Uyghur Canadians are desperate with worry for their loved ones, and for their homeland. They are angry that the Chinese Government’s ongoing repression of people it calls “ethnic minorities” continues unabated. The Chinese Government’s policies and practices in East Turkistan amount to colonialism in its most brutal form.
In reference to the current crackdown, BBC reporter Chris Hogg says “the violence is comparable to Tiananmen Square”: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8135203.stm
Amnesty International has called for an immediate investigation: www.amnesty.org.uk/news_details.asp?NewsID=18301
/On Wednesday July 8, up to 200 Uyghurs and supporters will rally at Vancouver’s Chinese Consulate in protest, in grief, and to call for a halt to the Chinese Government’s atrocities in East Turkistan. /
