China’s brutal crackdown on Xinjiang’s Muslim Uighur minority | Foreign Correspondent (2014)

As Australia despatched troops to join the fight against Islamic State in Iraq, China was intensifying its crackdown on the Uighur Muslim community in the remote northwest of the country in what it claimed was its own war on terror.

The Uighurs have inhabited the sprawling and spectacular Xinjiang province for centuries, but cells of violent separatists prompted a crackdown from Beijing that made life extremely difficult for the law-abiding majority.
Activists claimed the Communist Government was trying to erase Uighur heritage, and when correspondent Stephen McDonell headed into Silk Road territory, a shadowy, ever-growing team was sent to follow him.
