Kizil massacre

The Kizil massacre occurred in June 1933, when Uighur and Kirghiz Turkic fighters of the First East Turkestan Republic broke their agreement not to attack a column of retreating Hui Chinese soldiers and civilians from Yarkand New City on their way to Kashgar. An estimated 800 Chinese Muslim and Chinese civilians were killed by Turkic Muslim fighters.

Hui Chinese slaughtered several thousand Turkic people at the Battle of Kashgar (1934) the following year in revenge for the Kizil massacre.
