Uighurs protest against China’s clampdown

The Uighur Community in Oslo invites all sympathisers to join their demonstration against China’s very rough handling last Sunday of the local Uighur protests in the Xinjiang province, Western China, against China’s suppression of the Uighurs of the region. Allegedly, more than 500 uighurs were killed in the process of bringing the demonstrations under control. Similar displays of sympathy with the uighurs of Xinjiang will take place in a large number of places around the world.
