The Chinese police, esp. in Xinjiang & Tibet, routinely use torture to extract "confessions." However, any confessions from torture are inherently unreliable b/c anyone will confess to anything, even if untrue, if tortured enough. Torture rarely gets the truth.
So far many Uighurs have been imprisoned as a result of the July 2008 protests & several have been executed. We know that many Han Chinese also attacked & murdered Uighurs. Yet no Han Chinese person has yet received the same kind of harsh punishment as any Uighur. Another example of the racial discrimination practiced by the Chinese colonial regime.
