a campaign in Xinjiang targeting the "three evils" of religious extremism, splittism, and terrorism continued and showed no signs of abating. Before celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, in October 2005, authorities reemphasized the need to "strike hard" against these three evils and made numerous arrests, according to state-run media.
