Great Regulars: Woeser reported that [Mirzat] Alim, 43,

died Sept. 2 after being set upon by an armed mob of Han Chinese near his Urumqi home.

"I think that any death of any person from any race, be it Han Chinese or Uyghur, is very sad," said Woeser, whose post also mentioned the beating of Kaynam Jappar in an attempt to bring more balance to coverage online in China.

"I called for interracial understanding on my blog. We haven't seen the deaths of . . . Uyghurs reported anywhere inside China."
