On February 5, 2001, Uighur organizations and communities around the
world commemorated the fourth anniversary of the Ghulja uprising with
anti-Chinese demonstrations, meetings, and other activities.
In particular, Uighurs in Germany held a picket in front of the
Consulate of PRC in Munich protesting killings and arrests of
Uighur residents of Ghulja by the Chinese communist authorities.
The demonstrators distributed leaflets, shouted
anti-Chinese-government slogans, and displayed memorial pictures of
the tragic events in Ghulja.
Along with the incident of Barin in 1990, the events in Ghulja in 1997
attracted the attention of the world community to the anti-colonial
struggle of the Uighur people of East Turkestan and received a
relatively wide coverage in world media. |
