BEIJING (AFP) - An exile Uighur group on Tuesday demanded Chineseauthorities allow independent investigations into a clash inXinjiang where eight "attackers" were shot dead by police, the latest deadly incident in the largely Muslim region.
The Xinjiang regional government should "fully disclose all information" on the Monday violence and allow "an independent investigation to be conducted by international organs", the Munich-based World Uyghur Congress (WUC) said in a statement.
It also called on Beijing to open Shache county, where the conflict took place, to foreign media and government representatives "to allow transparency surrounding the narrative of the incident".
The area, around 200 kilometres south-east of Kashgar, is known as Yarkand in the Uighur language.
