Family members of Rebiya Kadeer have asked her not to organize violence or undermine (破坏) the peaceful life in Xinjiang in letters made public on Monday. They blamed her for organizing the riot in Urumqi on July 5 and apologized to the victims in two separate letters.

Kadeer’s son Khahar, daughter Roxingul and younger brother Memet wrote a letter to her, expressing their discontent for her turning against her own promises of not taking part in separatist activities and voicing their anger over the violent event.

“Because of you, so many innocent people lost their lives in Urumqi on July 5, and so many houses, shops and vehicles were burnt or damaged," they wrote. "The harmony and unity among ethnic groups were undermined."

Xinjiang is a happy home to people of different ethnic groups and no one wants to destroy it, they wrote. “We want a stable and safe life,” they said. “Please think about the happiness of us and your grandchildren. Don't destroy our happy life here. Don’t follow the provocation (挑衅) from some people in other countries.”

In another letter to the victims of the July 5 riot, they held Kadeer and the World Uygur Congress (WUC) responsible for the riot. “Evidence proved the riot was organized by the WUC, led by Rebiya Kadeer, and carried on by a group of separatists within the Chinese borders.”

After an incident between Uygur and Han workers of a factory in Shaoguan of southern Guangdong Province broke out on June 26, Kadeer exaggerated (夸大) the facts on the Internet, raising the death toll from two to more than 50, and posted false pictures, which started the violent event, they wrote.

“Those who committed crimes should take the responsibilities,” they said.

The statement from the Urumqi Public Security Bureau said the 319 people had been detained (拘留) after information was received from the public or obtained through the police investigation.

The arrests are in addition to the 253 detentions, police announced on July 29. Before that, more than 1,000 suspects had been detained by July 6, the second day of the violence.The suspects would face charges in connection with the riot that left 197 people dead.

"Every suspect, without any exception, will be arrested and punished according to the law to root out any hidden danger,” it said.

A. The riot took place on July 5 B. WUC organized the riot

C. The riot left 197 people dead D. Khahar was injured in the riot

61. The letter to Kadeer was written to__________.

A. show how the incident happened B. express their sorrow over the riot

C. blame Kadeer for her wrong doing D. tell the story of Kadeer

62.How many suspects have been detained according to the passage?

A. About 1252 B. Above 1572 C. About 1319 D. 1197

63. From the passage we learn that_________.

A. the riot caused great loss to the people in Urumqi

B. WUC was responsible for the incident in Shaoguan

C. most of the suspects will be sentenced to death

D. Kadeer voiced her apology over the July 5 riot
