Uyghurs in Turkistan have been under the Chinese government since 1949 and for 65 years have been going through systematic oppression. This was achieved earlier through restriction of language, religion, culture, as well as eeconomic, social and political injustice and inequality. Sadly, In recent times, it has become more bloody Than ever. Here is a brief timeline of some of the events that has happend over the past years. However, due to the restriction on media coverage and the tight control of flow of information, the following events haven’t been broadcasted on national Chinese TV.

.
There have been over 100 incidents reported in the year of 2013 where Uighurs got killed and arrested in East Turkistan.
Since July 2009, the Chinese Authorties granted its armed police shoot to kill permission in East Turkistan. As a result, there have been constant occurrences of shooting and arbitrary arrest in East Turkistan.
