China demands Australian film festival drop documentary about Uighurs

China has demanded that Australia's largest film festival in Melbourne drop a documentary about ethnic Uighurs, with the two countries embroiled in a separate row about commercial spying.

Chinese consular staff contacted organisers of the Melbourne International Film Festival last week urging them not to show a film about the exiled Uighur businesswoman Rebiya Kadeer, accused by Beijing of instigating this month's ethnic riots in Xinjiang.
The Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said on Thursday that Mrs Kadeer should not be allowed to spread her "splittist" views.


"Everyone knows what kind of person Rebiya is. We resolutely oppose any foreign country providing a platform for her anti-Chinese, splittist activities," he said.
The activist in turn has denied stirring up trouble in western China.
The 10 Conditions of Love tells of Kadeer's relationship with her activist husband Sidik Rouzi and the fall out on her 11 children of her push for more autonomy for China's 10 million mainly Muslim Uighurs. Three of her children have been jailed.
China accuses Mrs Kadeer's World Uighur Congress of being a front for militants pushing for a separate East Turkistan homeland. She was arrested in 1999 and found guilty of "providing secret information to foreigners".
Uighurs attacked majority Han Chinese in the city of Urumqi on July 5 after police tried to break up a protest against fatal attacks on Uighur workers at a factory in southern China. Han Chinese in Urumqi launched revenge attacks later in the week.
The official death toll now stands at 192, most of whom were Han Chinese who form the majority of China's 1.3 billion population. Almost all the others were Uighurs, native to Xinjiang and culturally tied to Central Asia and Turkey.
China's embassies and consular staff are keeping a low profile in Australia since the detention last week by Chinese security officials of four staff working for Anglo-Australian miner Rio Tinto, related to accusations of commercial spying.
