We've learned about the plight of the Uighurs via their imprisonment in the Guantanamo Bay prison facility. See the articles here:
03/12: Guantanamo: what to do with the Chinese Muslims
05/05: Guantanamo: Germany will take in Uighur detainees
06/10: Guantanamo: the Chinese Uighurs are going to Palau
Despite China's repeated rhetoric that the Uighurs are a separatist, terrorist organization, it appeared that the real story is that theirs is a plight similar to that of Tibetans.
According to Rue89, this eruption is yet another crack in the homogeneous facade presented to the world between the majority Han and other minority sects in the Republic of China.
