ABC Tracks Down Woman Who Stood up to the Chinese Soldiers

Why their husband or brother are taken away? Someone got to be responsible for that over 100 death, right? I do not see why the wife of possible criminals should be so praised

Only in the US where we praise foreign criminal activity.

why not care about the more than 150 people killed by Uighur men? It's really rediculous you western media. I really don't understand how you guys will react if your people are killed by these gangs? will your government let these crule terrorist go? For so many years, we, including young Chinese like me who once studied in US, are also tired of you double standard hypocrites!WHY DOESN'T US LET HAWAII BE INDEPENDENT BUT ADVOCATE XINJIANG AND TIBET INDPENDENT?
NEVER SAY "HUMAN RIGHT""FREEDOM" ANY MORE.YOU SHOULD FIND MORE AND MORE PEOPLE DISLIKE WESTERNS.
REREAD "BIBLE" PLS, "DO NOT JUDGE!"
YOU GUYS ARE NOT JESUS, BUT HYPOCRITES LIKE PHARISEES!

Are you kidding? You compared this woman to the student who stood in front of the tank in 1989?!!

As we all learned that there are these small sections of Islamic population that are extremely violent and cruel, it is US and Eupropean countries' interest to support Chinese government and outlaw so called Uighur's movement in Western Countries. These people share same religion as those extreme Sunni Muslims in Iraq who killed so many US soldiers. These small but very violent sections of Muslims are dangerous to the whole world, including US, Europe, and China as well. China is gradually and surely moving into civilization and these Uighurs want to drag that western part of China into Muslim country like Iran or Afghanistan. Ask your Congressman or Senator to stop funding for these extreme Uighur Muslims otherwise US only are sowing more terrorism in China. These people are Taliban's brothers and that is why many of them ended up in Guantanamo!

I support the chinese government on this. To CZHANG 1974, many Americans know how biased our media is, and believe me we hate it as much as you, and I don't doubt these Muslims killed other innocent Chinese. Just know that we don't believe everything the media says. Just trying to get on the same page with you.

I am a Han Chinese. I thought there was gold everywhere before I came to the sates. Needless to say, I also thought the media in the states was also doing good to the world, or at least to its people. Chinese journalists may often face the situation that they are not able to speak freely their own views of an event. I believe American journalists are more privileged in this respect. But soon after I came to the states, I realize that life is as stressful as in China for people are lack of means. And now when the 156 dead bodies in China still lay unrest, yet abcnews is trying to make a hero out of a family member of possible suspects of the slaughter, I learned another big lesson in my life. Just as the country --- The United States of America --- singing the song of human rights all the time --- could take no pain waterboarding its detainees, taking pictures when it is raping its war captures, the free media can be evil and cold blooded as well. At the end of the day, the beholders should really realize that it is actually called FREE media, not media with integrity and humanity.

The correspondent who wrote the report must be a silly man. Do all reporters in the BBc News report news like this? I am a ordinary person must tell you that don't report news according to a picture. We need true imformation but not bosh.

So the Uighurs just one day decided to get up and beat Han Chinese? Did you think that maybe the allegations of discrimination at the hands of the Chinese govt. or Han Chinese had anything to do with it?
Maybe people would have a better opinion if there were not cases of abuse of Tibetans and Uighurs. Maybe people would have a better opinion if the Chinese govt. did not kill all those innocent people at Tienanmen Square (or where they terrorists as well). You have a right to criticizing our media, because we believe in that right. Our media is not perfect, but you know what we can say that, and even demonstrate against our govt. without being killed, tortured or jailed. Its called freedom of speech which you only enjoy through these venues. So before you start criticizing our media, take a look at yours.

Clarissa, This old Uighur lady is lucky that she still can have the hope that, if her relatives were not the killer on 7/5 or they are not related to the exterme terrorist group, they will be free soon after the police investigation. And she is brave because she know Chinese Police Officers will not just kill innocent citizens if they were not involved in crime. For the 156 victim's Mom, Dad, daughters and son whom was killed on 7/5 by the terrorist act, they will never be able to go home? What do you say to their Mom? Do you ever care? THis is not the first, 2nd, 3rd days the new crew was there. What are you there for? and do you ever to have a plan to have a " mission today to find" one of the victim's Mom? younger daughters, son for a interview? do they ever have a voice or right in your mind? Your photo is misleading, She is blocking the police to save life, to do their job to bring back the law and order! you just disgrace them and demonize them.

Sad, US media should not be the spoken person for the terrorist group; US should NOT be the save haven for the terrorism either. 156 innocent life had lost for just because they were at the wrong place and at the wrong time in Urumqi, China. US should investigate, if Rebiya Kadeer is truly behind or related to the planning of the terrorist riot on 7/5/09 in China, US should deport her back to China for a fair trial by the LAW for the crime she committed.

So chinese officers/police will not kill innocent people. You mean like in Tienanmen Square? Where you are not allowed to take pictures of even talk about what happened. Give me a break.

The only information I have on what is happening in Urumqi is what is reported by journalists. In this story, it is reported by the woman that her husband and brothers are guilty of nothing, they were taken away and she doesn't know where they were taken or why. She may be lieing, but there is no evidence that she is. There seems to be a lot of ethnic prejudice between the Han Chinese and the Uighurs. Many of the comments seem to imply that because the people involved are Uighurs and muslims, they must be terrorists or at least support terrorists. This is similar to the attitude I have seen in US regarding middle eastern muslims and it is just as wrong.

In the US, it appears that most of this prejudice (which is wrong)is acted upon by private individuals. It appears that in China, the government is taking actions based on ethnic prejudice, not the rule of law and factual evidence. That is why to me, an American, the situation seems unjust.

You make me sick again by picking up one point to cover the whole thing.

You what-so-ever must get used to the rising China and the people and the culture.

I must say I was one of the pro-dem student in China at the time, and even now I do not like the current China regime and the gov, but, your ways of reporting China make me sick of you, who and what have made you so much biase when dealing with China issues.

How do you know that her husband is a killer ? it is a common behavior that chinese governmet arrest 50 innocent people for one criminal .

We have been lied to in the media about the Uighur incident. They started a riot and killed over a hundred Han Chinese in cold blood. THAT is why Han Chinese came out on the streets the next day with weapons, ready to get even.
The Chinese fear of a Uighur separatist movement and Uighur terrorism is real, despite the long history of Chinese govt domination of the region.

We want the truth....we're not getting it.

to WC Read :
What you mentioned about Tienanmen Square is sth that happened 20 years ago, you have no idea how much change has happenned in China since then, not just in the economic development, but also in politics civilization. So please don't keep your mind staying in 20 years ago, if you'd like to comments sth involves China, just keep your mind refresh.

YOu mean like how in the olympics people were carted away. How after promising freedom of expression people were arrested for voicing their opinion or complaints. How parents whose children died in shoddy schools because of govt. corruption, who tried to complain were arrested,or silenced by the govt. Come on you guys are incredible. You know no matter how much you complain about the US our opinion our media, there is still nothing in China that allows freedom of expression or transparency in govt. as in the US. The U.S. is not perfect, but our liberties and rights for our citizens is what makes us great and china has nothing to compare with it.
I dare you to go to Tiananmen Square and say the Communist party *$#@!!, I can go to Washington DC stand in the memorials and say Obama *%$@#$, I can hold a protest against the Iraq or Afghanistan incursions by the US. You on the other hand, can do none of that, so your media and your govt. are much worse when it comes to freedom of expression and guaranteeing civil liberties and rights to its citizens.

I'd be the last one to defend the Communist Chinese Govt, but the fact is, Uighurs started a riot and murdered over a hundred people in cold blood...it isn't a coincidence they are ethnic Han.

The Western media has lied about it and covered it up because they want the narrative to be the repressive policies of the govt to be to blame.

The world media simply cannot be trusted anymore to report the facts and not shape the 'news'.

See the photos of innocent Chinese women walking down the street with their heads bashed in and tell us the media cannot tell what happened?

It is pathetic and makes one wonder what else they are hiding from us, including what really happened in Iran.

Tell me, you Chinese responders, if your government is in the right of the treatment of the Uighur, how come your government has felt the need to block internet use to its people?
The American government would NEVER do this. FREEDOM OF SPEECH is one of the basic HUMAN RIGHTS guaranteed in our country. The same can't be said of China.

Face it, your government is afraid of you and if you say anything bad about your beloved government, you will disappear, just like Tursun Gul's husband and brothers.

We may not be getting the whole story, but what I am saying is that a people just does not rise up and start beating other people for no reason. Specially knowing the kind of retribution they can get from the govt. If there is prejudice and discrimination against the Uighurs which from comments by interviewed chinese its apparent that there is. Maybe the Uighurs rose up because of that. People can only take discrimination up to a certain point, specially if the govt. does nothing about it or encourages it.
