"The Uighurs have a right to decide their fate

The world is ignoring another example of Chinese oppression.

AS AN ethnic Uighur, I am horrified by the riots, deaths, injuries and arrests in Urumqi, the city my parents call home. I have lost contact with them, and rely on reports filtering out of Xinjiang. I have to accept the Chinese Government figures of 156 people dead, more than 1000 injured and more than 1400 arrests."

The press is the nation's shared voice. It is an innovator, a school and a power in itself.
