Massive rise in state security
arrests in East Turkestan in 2008
The Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) believes that a rise in reported arrests for terrorism, extremism and other state security charges in East Turkestan (also known as Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) in the People¡¯s Republic of China (PRC)) in 2008 represents a concerted campaign to stamp out all forms of dissent among Uyghurs in the region.
