1. A township in Hotan City, Hotan prefecture, Xinjiang autonomous region, China.

   “Johnson mentioned that Ilchi lies only six miles from the edge of the Takla Makan desert, and he cites reports of 360 cities being buried in the shifting sands in 24 hours.”

   “A policeman in Hotan’s Ilchi township said families in his district have been interrogated in the days around July 5. “Our focal point is whether July 5 is on their memories and, if so, what kinds of memories do they have.” The police work of visiting families has in the past year “decreased a bit because all the key families in the watch list are in training,” he said.”
