Taiwan stops Uighur activist trip
Taiwan will not allow exiled Uighur activist Rebiya Kadeer to visit the island as she had planned, a government official has said.
Ms Kadeer, a Chinese Muslim from Xinjiang, had been invited by an entertainer close to the opposition.
China has accused Ms Kadeer of orchestrating recent violence in Xinjiang - a charge she denies.
In July about 200 people were killed in riots between Uighurs and Han Chinese in which mostly Han were killed.
Taiwan is self-ruled after breaking away from China at the end of the civil war in 1949. Beijing considers the island part of its territory.
"We have decided not to allow Kadeer entry considering that her visit could affect national interest and social order," Interior Minister Jiang Yi-huah was quoted as saying to members of parliament.
Despite opposition from China, a documentary about Ms Kadeer was screened this week in Taiwan's second city, Kaohsiung.
Local tourism officials had spoken out against the move, Taiwanese media reported, fearing it would drive Chinese tourist numbers down.
Rebiya Kadeer heads the World Uighur Congress, which represents the Uighur community in exile.
