WASHINGTON — The woman Chinese authorities blame for violent unrest in western China’s Xinjiang region is asking for outside intervention to create a dialogue between her ethnic Uighurs and Chinese authorities.
In an interview with AP Television, Rebiya Kadeer said the Uighurs want a dialogue for a peaceful settlement.
Meanwhile, China raised the death toll from the riots to 184, the official Xinhua News Agency said Saturday, giving an ethnic breakdown of the dead for the first time.
Of the victims, 137 belonged to the dominant Han ethnic group.
