China devastates Uighur family in anti-terror raids
2015-04-09
[RFA] Security forces in Xinjiang have killed three people and jailed two others from an ethnic Uighur family during a three-month operation targeting terror suspects, according to official media and a relative of one of those killed.

Tursun Hoshur and his daughter Maynur Tursun were sentenced to 12 and eight years respectively, for harboring "terrorists". The two had been recovering after being shot by authorities during a June 2014 raid on their home, which also saw Hoshur's wife gunned down when she refused to open her door to police, state media reported.

Two sons of the family, Turdimemet Tursun and Nurmet Tursun, were among nine Uighur "terror suspects" gunned down by police in a second incident on August 1 last year, the report said.

Yasin Hoshur, Tursun's brother, who served as the Communist Party secretary of Dongjay village and village chief for 32 years before retiring, said that the two incidents had destroyed his family.
