Tear gas fired in Chinese protests
Updated on 06 July 2009
Police have fired tear gas to try to restore order as hundreds of Han Chinese armed with clubs marched through the Xinjiang capital of Urumqi, smashing shops and knocking over food stalls run by Muslims.
The city, where rioting and ethnic clashes killed 156 people two days ago, was extremely tense, with security officials breaking up a separate protest near the railway station.
Muslim women faced off with armed Chinese police, wailing for the release of their sons and husbands detained after the riots.
