💨 Abstract

Chinese authorities have closed down water wells in three Uyghur villages near a desert in Xinjiang, claiming they were illegal. The villages, largely populated by Uyghurs, are located in Yopurgha County, where authorities have also shut down 46 wells dug by Han Chinese settlers in another area, although no action has been taken against those wells.
