"Tomorrow I'll buy the dried fruit back."
On the evening of July 27, 2014, Abdul Aini Turdi, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Committee of Dunbak Township, Shache County, Kashgar Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, said a word to his wife and plunged into the night.
A few hours later, he and the township chief, Ulamujan Tohuti, were brutally murdered by a frenzied mob and pushed to the forefront of the confrontation with the police.
This is a tragic scene in the 2014 Shache "7.28" violent terrorist case. From 1990 to the end of 2016, the "three forces" created thousands of violent terrorist cases (incidents) in Xinjiang and other places, resulting in the murder of a large number of innocent people and the death of hundreds of public security policemen.
Patriotic cadres were stabbed more than a dozen times in their bodies and pushed on the front line of the confrontation
Shache County, located in the southeast of Kashgar City, has a history of more than 3,000 years, and is the hometown of Amani Sha Khan, the finisher of the Uyghur classical music "Twelve Muqam", and is known as the "Land of Badanmu". However, this ancient land, which was supposed to belong to food and music, was once ravaged by the "three forces".
On July 28, 2014, Shache County was shrouded in blood.
In the early morning of the same day, a group of thugs armed with knives and axes attacked the government and police station of Elixihu Town in Shache County, and some of the rioters sneaked to the wasteland town and set up a number of roadblocks on the Bachu-Shache Highway to intercept, smash, burn and burn passing vehicles, and kill innocent people.
Nur Maimaiti Wubuli, the 43-year-old deputy secretary of the party committee and mayor of Eli west lake town, participated in the "7.28" case handling operation and served as the head of the domestic security brigade of the Shache County Public Security Bureau at the time of the case.
Facing the camera, he rolled up his clothes, and a scar of more than 20 centimeters extended from the back to the ribs, which was shocking.
Nur Maimaiti said that the night before the incident, after being reported by the public, the public security organs learned that a group of unidentified people in a village in the town of Elise lake were illegally gathering. The public security cadres and police immediately summoned more than a dozen people to the town police station.
"Their accomplices believe that the crime has been exposed, so they instigate their backbone to storm the police station in a vain attempt to rescue the accomplices." The mob intercepted a car on the street, brutally killed its owner, and drove into the town police station with a homemade explosive device. ”
At the town police station at that time, the bullet holes in the wall were still clearly visible.
"At that time, the scene was unbearable, the truck directly overturned the gate, and the front of the car hit the front of the office building. Armed with explosive devices and cold weapons, rioters rushed in to confront the policemen and were killed after warnings were ineffective. ”

"After follow-up investigations, the gang was supposed to carry out violent terrorist attacks in several places at the same time on Eid al-Fitr (July 29) in 2014." Nur Maimaiti said that he was working in the mountains at the time, and arrived at the town of Elesi lake at about 5 a.m. and about 8:50 a.m. when he received the task.
Elsewhere, thugs are still rampant.
When Nurmamaiti rushed to a village, he saw a group of thugs hiding in culverts, sheds, and woods to throw Molotov cocktails and stones at the village committee. "After the disposal, when we arrived at a junction outside the 15 villages, we found more than 100 thugs facing us 300 meters ahead, armed with cold weapons and police equipment snatched from the village committee. We carried out policy propaganda in accordance with the law and asked them to put down their tools of crime and surrender, but they constantly clamored with us to negotiate terms. ”
"I found that the mayor of Dunbak Township, Wulamujan Tohuti, and the secretary of the Township Discipline Inspection Committee, Abdul Aini Turdi, were pushed to the front by the mob!"
NurMameti said he saw two cadres with their heads bowed and someone behind them holding back with a cold weapon, "After a while, they fell down, and later we found out that they had died of hemorrhagic shock, each with more than a dozen knife wounds." ”
News reports at the time mentioned that the two were brutally killed by the rioters because they sternly refused the demands of the violent terrorists to shout the slogan of "jihad" and severely reprimanded the mob for their actions.

"After seeing our comrades fall, we were furious to the extreme."
Nur Maimaiti said: "Because we have already told the rioters about the stakes, but they are indifferent and have brutally killed our cadres, we are very angry and launch a clean-up according to law." At this time, they wanted to die with us, and suddenly a thug drove a tractor, tied his right foot to the accelerator, and rushed to us with an explosive device, and we dealt with it decisively according to the law. ”
At that time, Nur Maimaiti was in the first echelon, and suddenly felt that someone behind him had "given a punch".
"I thought it was a colleague who wanted to remind me of something, but looking back at no one, I didn't care at the time, and continued to clean up the violent terrorists according to the law, but then I felt that there was a feeling of dampness and heat under the armpits, and when I touched it with my hand, my hands were full of blood, and I realized that I had been shot, and then because of too much bleeding, I was physically weak and fell down."
"In the ambulance, the thought of death flashed through my mind, and I felt that I was going to die here." Nurmameti said he thought of his family and two other colleagues who were injured together, "and wanted to know how they were." ”
According to official figures, the case killed 37 innocent people and smashed 31 vehicles, 6 of which were burned. In the process of handling, the public security organs killed 59 thugs and arrested 215 people involved in the case.
Tursun Guli's husband, the secretary of the Dunbak Township Discipline Inspection Committee, was killed for denouncing the mob. She said that some people may feel stupid about their husbands, "but I don't think so, he is a party member cadre, this is his responsibility, if I encounter such a situation, I will do it." 」 ”
"The party and the government are so good, everyone's life is very rich, why they want to do such a thing, I can't figure it out, I hate them too much, hate it to the bone." Tursun Guli said.

From 1990 to the end of 2016, hundreds of police officers were killed in the line of duty.
"Whenever I see the bustling crowds on the street, the people of all ethnic groups dancing in the square, the students happily going to school and leaving school, and the self-media operators tasting food and taking photos at the night market, I think of those comrades who died in the fight against terrorism and stability."
"Friend, I miss you, I will love today's prosperous and stable achievements as I love my eyes, and resolutely fight against the 'three forces' to the end." A Xinjiang anti-terrorism police officer said so.
