95bFM Audio: Kim Choe Interviews Uighur Political Activist Rebiya Kadeer

95bFM:

Uighur political groups have always supported peaceful Uighur nationalism and independence. However, the Chinese government has often referred to Uighur nationalists as terrorists and received more global support for its claims since 9/11.

This year Barack Obama ordered the release of four Uighurs from the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, but a Chinese court has just handed down death sentences to six men for their involvement in a riot in the far north western region of Xinjiang.

Kim talks to Rebiya Kadeer about her amazing life and what the future holds for the Uighur people, during Kadeer's visit to New Zealand on invitation by the Green Party.

Rebiya Kadeer is speaking through a translator - Alim Seytoff. For time purposes some of her words have been edited - but the translations are in full.
