URUMQI, China – A fresh protest has broken out in the capital of China's volatile Xinjiang region, with a large group of protesters blocking a main road in a stand-off with security forces.
The demonstration comes two days after at least 156 people were killed in ethnic violence in Urumqi.
The latest clash Tuesday came in front of a group of reporters who were being taken around the city to see the aftermath of Sunday's riots, when hundreds of vehicles and shops were attacked.
About 200 Uighurs, some screaming that their husbands and children had been arrested, blocked a road. Riot police were at one end of the road and paramilitary police were at the other end.
