Hanerik[3] (Uyghur: خانئېرىق بازىرى, romanized: Xan'ëriq baziri; Chinese: 罕艾日克镇, romanized: Hǎn'àirìkè zhèn), formerly Hanerik Township (Uyghur: خانئېرىق يېزىسى, romanized: Xan'ëriq yëzisi; Chinese: 罕艾日克乡, romanized: Hǎn'àirìkè xiāng), is a town in Hotan County, Hotan Prefecture, Xinjiang, China.
In 1984, Hanerik Township (罕艾日克乡) was established.[2]
In 2012, Hanerik was changed from a township into a town.[1]
On June 28, 2013, an incident involving Muslim protesters and local police in Hanerik occurred.[4][5] Chinese state media said no one died during the confrontation. There were reports of protester deaths, as many as over 100.[6]
