People take part in an event in front of the Chinese embassy in Kuala Lumpur on July 5, 2019 in solidarity with the Uighur community in China and to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the riots in Urumqi, the regional capital of Xinjiang, that left nearly 200 people dead. - Xinjiang, home to most Uighurs in China, has for decades been struck by episodes of inter-ethnic violence. But the riots that broke out in Urumqi, the regional capital, on July 5, 2009, were a seminal event for Xinjiang. Hundreds if not thousands of rioters smashed shops, burned vehicles and attacked people after a factory brawl in southern China left at least two Uighur migrant workers dead.
