We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Students for a Free Tibet's Online Action Center.

The short explanation of this alert was:
Chinese authorities have flooded Urumchi (Ch: Urumqi) in Chinese-occupied East Turkestan with troops following the violent unrest which started as a peaceful protest by Uyghurs on Sunday, July 5th.

Hundreds of people have been killed, but instead of taking responsibility for its decades of failed policies in East Turkestan that have fueled the unrest, the Chinese government is blaming the violence on the Uyghurs, arresting more than 1,400, blocking phone lines and internet, and vowing severe punishment, including executions for those responsible for the unrest.

Please sign the petition below calling on the Chinese government to stop the crackdown on the Uyghur people and allow an immediate investigation into the unrest in Urumchi.
