- Uyghurs in Istanbul, Washington DC mark anniversary of 1997 Ghulja Massacre | Radio Free Asia (RFA)

- Description
- World Uyghur Congress Executive Director Rushan Abbas joins activists in front of the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC and protesters gathered in Istanbul, Turkey, to mark the 28th anniversary of the Ghulja Massacre.
On a cold winter day 28 years ago, young Uyghurs in the western Chinese city of Ghulja in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) staged a protest to call for an end to religious repression and ethnic discrimination.
The events of that day would instead come to be known as the Ghulja Massacre of 1997, an incident that Uyghurs now look upon as a harbinger of an even greater level of persecution and violence against the largely Muslim community in China that has unfolded in stages since then.
As many as 200 hundred people may have been killed in the massacre — one report said thousands may have died — but it received little international attention at the time.
