Southwick couple gassed in their camper

By Tim Ridgway, Local government reporter

A couple who fear they were gassed by crooks as they slept in their motor home were left stranded abroad for two weeks after they lost everything.

Mervyn Bryant and his wife Kirsty’s holiday in the south of France in their campervan became a summer helliday when they woke up to find they had been robbed. [...]

Mr Bryant said: “Amazingly I didn’t know anything had been taken until I started moving around the motor home.

Rumors, Suspicion and Hysteria: Urumchi's Han Residents Target Uyghurs in September 2009 Pinprick Attack Scare

[…] Rumors, Suspicion and Hysteria, a new report from the Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) details the events of late August and early September 2009 in which a series of alleged pinprick attacks shook the regional capital of East Turkestan, Urumchi. The little documented incident gave rise to a series of human rights violations against the Uyghur people that demonstrate the vulnerability of Uyghurs in contemporary China. Allegations that Chinese officials did not investigate credible accounts of killings and beating of Uyghurs during September 2009 are of particular concern. The lack of due process in trials of Uyghurs alleged of conducting pinprick attacks also indicate an absence of international human rights standards for Uyghurs in China. […]
