Chinese security forces walk near the entrance to a mosque as ethnic Uighurs leave after Friday prayers in Urumqi in China's Xinjiang Autonomous Region July 10, 2009. Hundreds of Uighur Muslims crowded into at least one mosque in riot-stricken Urumqi on Friday after authorities relented on a decision to close mosques for the main day of prayer to minimize ethnic tension.
