editBarin Township is located between the Gez River (Gez Darya; 盖孜河) to the west and the Kushan River (K'u-shan Ho; 库山河) to the east. The word "Baihal" (拜哈勒), from the Arabic language, refers generally to the area between two rivers. The pronunciation of this word gradually evolved into the Uyghur word "barin", which became the name of Barin Township.[3][11] Barin is transliterated into Chinese characters as '巴仁', which is read in Mandarin Chinese as Baren (pinyin-derived) and Pa-jen (Wade-Giles derived). Barin was also called Balong (八龍) during the Qing Dynasty.[3]

A police officer in Barin township, who declined to give his name, said officers have recently been watching the station around the clock lately because the situation in the area, which is the most sensitive part of the Kizilsu Kirghiz prefecture, remains tense. The township is where an uprising and armed revolt occurred between Uyghur militants and Chinese government forces in April 1990. Reports of the incident vary, but Uyghurs maintain that security forces killed and arrested hundreds of Uyghur fighters.
Authorities also arrested more than 7,900 Uyghurs following an ensuing crackdown on "criminal activities of ethnic splittists [separatists] and other criminal offenders," according to reports at the time. - ^ a b c Alessandra Cappelletti (2020).
