Nearly 10,000 Uighurs involved in deadly riots in China's northwestern Xinjiang region went missing in one night, exiled Uighur activist Rebiya Kadeer said Wednesday, calling for an international investigation.
In Xinjiang's worst ethnic violence in decades, Uighurs on July 5 attacked Han Chinese in the regional capital of Urumqi after police tried to break up a protest against fatal attacks on Uighur workers at a factory in south China.
China Labor Bulletin estimated in 2007 that there are over 300,000 detainees at re-education centers. China Daily estimated that there were a total of 310 re-education centers in China at that time. In 2001, at least 5,000 Falun Gong adherents were thought to be detained in re-education camps.

If this is true, it is a show to the world that the Chinese government is as repressive as ever.
The Uighur activist called for an independent international investigation into the dissapearances, but China will not allow for this nomatter what.
The Chinese government will make it's own inquiry and claim "no one has dissapeared", or they might simply just claim so. But one thing is certain, they are not going to allow any international investigation.
