Taiwan film festival Web site hacked ahead of screening of Uighur activist documentary: "Uighur film screening in Taiwan has angered China

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Hackers on Monday posted vulgarities and pro-Chinese slogans on a Taiwanese film festival’s Web site to protest plans to screen a documentary about an exiled Uighur activist accused by Beijing of inciting recent ethnic violence in China’s west.

The cyberattack came despite a decision by Kaohsiung’s government last weekend not to air “The 10 Conditions of Love” at its Kaohsiung Film Festival next month. The film is about U.S.-based World Uighur Congress leader Rebiya Kadeer, whom Beijing says was behind July riots that left nearly 200 people dead in China’s Xinjiang province."
