Uyghur community members of the USA recently marked the 15th anniversary of the Urumqi Massacre in front of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC.
The association also shared pictures of their protest on X.

Who are Uyghur Muslims?
Uyghur Muslims are a Turkic minority ethnic group originating from and culturally affiliated with the general region of Central and East Asia. It is now widely publicized that their human rights are crushed by China and they were sent to “re-education camps” by the communist regime in Beijing.
The Uyghurs are recognized as native to the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China.
An American representative at the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination said in 2018 that the committee had received many credible reports that 1 million ethnic Uyghurs in China have been held in “re-education camps” by the Chinese authorities.

Stolen French bulldog returned to owner, D.C. police say

“Yurman is now back with his owner,” the police announced.
Yurman is a 2-year-old dark-colored male. It was not clear who found him or how. No information was provided about any arrest or charges.
Yurman’s owner was walking her dog in the 1700 block of Fort Davis Street SE about 8:20 p.m. on June 29 when someone approached with a gun, police said.
Police reported the robbery twice on social media, once just after it occurred and again with a brief surveillance video on Wednesday.
Numerous thefts of French bulldogs have occurred in the District and around the country.
In November, three were taken at gunpoint as they were being walked near the 5200 block of East Capitol Street, according to police.
Authorities said the robbers jumped from a vehicle and seized the animals.
Many of the dogs taken here have been recovered.
Purebred French bulldogs may sell for several thousand dollars and appear to be highly prized as pets. Authorities have said they are often taken to be sold.

Another scorching day in D.C. as summer settles in
![Another scorching day in D.C. as summer settles in](https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/R66FMUUKCWKPH4NR64KRR6YTUM_size-normalized.jpg&w=1440)
Yet by comparison with Friday, that figure could offer some small consolation. On Friday the National Weather Service calculated a maximum “feels-like” temperature of 108. Saturday, it appeared to reach only 103.
Saturday was a small landmark in the advance toward the fiery heart of summer. On Saturday, for the first time this year, the average daily high temperature in the District became 90 degrees.
That may signal that the most summerlike period of summer is now at hand. With Saturday, D.C. has embarked on a long run of July days with an average high temperature of 90 degrees.
Such days may be regarded as close to the thermal height of summer and the capital is now in it.
Yet, of course, summer days here, even well into July, need not be hours of unrelieved meteorological misery.
White clouds proceeded in proud array across the skies on Saturday, and from time to time, covered and even dimmed the sun, producing instant and noticeable cooling. Cloud shadows may be among the subtle comforts that exist even deep in July.
In addition, even if they cover only small patches of ground, and extend for only a few feet or yards, relatively cool and shady places of respite seem to exist in much of the metropolitan area.
On some older streets in the city, trees stand so tall that the leaves and branches of those on one side touch the leaves and branches on the other, several stories in the air. They form a kind of high-arched natural redoubt against the swelter of summer.
The tall oak tree on the east side of the street may touch the tall oak on the other, and to stand in their shadows, peering up at blue sky and white clouds through gaps in green leaves may mitigate much of the harshness of a 98 degree day.
