Ethnic unrest in China
According to a news item published in an Indian newspaper (“The Hindu”), the authorities in China's Xinjiang region have executed nine people for their role in July's ethnic unrest. Eight of the executed persons are believed to be Uighurs. Xinjiang has seen intermittent tension between Uighurs and Hans, who have migrated to the region in large numbers. I would like to express my concern over China's treatment of its Muslim minority.
I urge China to improve its treatment of Chinese Muslims.
