Last week this time, when the whole world was focus on the funeral of Micheal, there was a shocking event happened on the other side of the planet.
5th july, the July 2009 Ürümqi riot broke out. as usual a huge media bias is found. Maybe this time we can consider putting Micheal’s funeral into account, which had consumed alot the media’s resource, therefore less resource was spent on other news report?!
As usual the focus of media focus alot on the humanity and media transparency of china. It has always trying to put the same story on the screen with china. But you cant always amplify the same matter in every kind of situation, readers would get bored. In many of the reports prejudiced the fault toward the government of China. On the otherhand, no one questioned more about the start of the inhuman violence. The Uighur groups insisted their protest was peaceful while they had weapons in their hands.
Many innocents were stabbed with knives, beaten by bartons and stoned to death. Some injuries said during interview at the hosiptal ” The gangs of Uyghurs carried weapons in their hands, aimed toward Hans, they targeted men at first, then they started to attack also women and kids afterward.”
The battle was purely bloody and insane to have 156 persons beaten to death in one day, unpolished by boom, or any advance weapons. 123 of them were Han, and the rest 33 were Uyghur.
2 days after, many Han protestors were demonstarting with homemade weapons. Protestors claimed to be passively forced carrying weapons for self defence purpose. They demaged some uyghur owned shops. Luckily thhe crowd got clam down eventually, and no further volience occured.
On the forth day, both Hans ans Uyghurs, many of them escaped away from Ürümqi. During the riot, there were Han travellers reported that they were helped by uyghurs while they were traced with weapons. Some reported they hosted by uyghur families. Furthermore, the words from the spokesman for the World Uyghur Congress were so bias from the fact and reports. That convinced me to possibly believe that the violent protest was organised by some seperatists who do not respresent the will of all the ethic group. However, analyist said it was not caused by seperatists or terrorists.
