Information was received from sources concerning two outstanding cases. General allegations 118. Information was submitted by sources concerning obstacles encountered in the implementation of the Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. This information was transmitted to the Government on 6 August 2010, after the Working Group’s ninety-first session. 119. The source informed the Working Group that, following the July 2009 unrest in Urumqi, Xinjiang, hundreds of Uighur young men were reportedly detained on suspicion of having participated in the unrest and some of them were also subjected to enforced disappearance. 120. According to the source, immediately after the July 2009 unrests, Chinese security forces allegedly conducted several detentions in two areas of Urumqi with a high Uighur population, namely Erdaoqiao and Saimachang, which continued, on a lesser scale, until at least mid-August 2009. Reportedly, most of the victims were young Uighur men. It was alleged that Uighur people were arrested at their homes, hospitals, places of work and streets, questioned about their participation in the July protests and, then taken away in trucks. It was further alleged that when some of the families requested information to determine the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared people, the relevant law enforcement authorities denied the arrests or just sent the families away. 121. As a result, according to the source, following the July 2009 unrests and until 18 August 2009, at least 43 cases of enforced disappearances of Uighur young men were documented in the Uighur areas of Urumqi. However, the source alleges that the real number of enforced disappearances in these areas might be much higher. It was further alleged that some Han Chinese people might also have been subjected to enforced disappearance. 122. No response was received from the Government regarding this general allegation. Total cases transmitted, clarified and outstanding 123. Since its establishment, the Working Group has transmitted 117 cases to the Government; of those, 11 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the source, 77 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the Government, and 29 remain outstanding.
