The Uighur woman, standing up to Chinese security forces and soldiers, reminded a protester who walked towards Chinese tanks in Tiananmen Square in 1989 as similar protests that seem as voices against Chinese oppression.

Meanwhile, US lawmakers urged U.S. to strongly condemn the Chaina crackdown against Muslims to avoid a repeat of the Tiananmen Square crackdown.

The violence brings up memories and comparisons to the deadly Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.

The world media has draw attention on comparisons between the Uighur woman on a crutch shouted defiantly at Chinese forces who caused to grow Urumqi incidents in 2009 and a lone man standing up to the line of tanks during the Tiananmen Square protests.

The woman became a symbol of Uighur resistance against the China's bloody move over protesters that killed at least 156 and wounded more than 800.

Han Chineses attacked on Uighur workers in a dormitory of a toy factory in China's southern Guangdong province, killing two people and injuring more than 800.

After the attack, Chinese police arrested 1,434 Uighurs two days after killing 156 dead and wounding more than 1,000 since Uighurs started the protests in the capital Urumqi.

Video appeared showing Chinese lynch that sparked Uighur protests in East Turkistan.

East Turkistan has 8 million Uighurs and historical records show that the Uyghurs have a history of more than 4000 years.

Throughout the history the Uyghurs developed a unique culture and civilization and made remarkable contribution to the civilization of the world.

The Uyghurs Islam in 934, during the reign of Satuk Bughra Khan, the Kharahanid ruler. Since that time on the Islam continuously served Uyghurs as the only religion until today.

After embracing Islam the Uyghurs continued to preserve their cultural dominance in Central Asia.

East Turkistan was occupied by the communist China in 1949 and its name was changed in 1955. The communist China has been excersizing a colonial rule over the East Turkistan since then.

Many Uighurs resent Han Chinese rule, complaining they're marginalised economically and politically in their own land, while having to tolerate a rising influx of Han Chinese migrants.

Meanwhile, human rights groups accuse Beijing of using claims of "terrorism" as an excuse to crack down on peaceful pro-independence sentiment and expressions of Uighur identity.
