Death toll from riot in Urumqi rises to 184

URUMQI, July 11 (Xinhua) -- The death toll from the riot in Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, rose to 184 as of 11 p.m. Friday, the information office of the regional government said.

Among the dead, 137 were Han people, including 111 men and 26 women. 46 were Uygur people, including 45 men and one woman. A man of Hui nationality also died.

The spokesman said on Saturday that the death toll is likely to go up, because some hospitalized victims are still in critical condition.
