Al Jazeera English - Asia-Pacific - Uighurs 'disappeared' in crackdown: "Dozens of ethnic Uighurs, including several children, remain unaccounted for more than three months after China launched a crackdown on ethnic unrest in the country's far west, a human right group has said.
A report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) released on Wednesday, said the group had documented the cases of at least 43 Uighur men and boys who have disappeared in a wave of arrests across the city of Urumqi.
The group said the 43 cases were likely to be 'just the tip of the iceberg', with the real number of disappeared in Urumqi and elsewhere in the Xinjiang region thought to be much higher."
