A boy surveys the aftermath of the deadly riots in Xinjiang's capital Urumqi, which also left over 800 injured. Several hundred people were arrested after a protest of a few hundred Uighurs, who are ethnically Turkic Muslims, turned into a full-scale riot. Hospitals are still treating the mostly Han Chinese stabbed and beaten in the violence.
