Diplomatic Immunities and Privileges

It may still be a matter of debate whether the Urumqi riots were started by the Uighur separatist attacks or the Chinese police crackdown. But there was little dispute over what triggered the attacks by some Uighur supporters on the Chinese embassy in the Netherlands. The violent bent of the East Turkestan movement went on full display as the protest was peaceful until "protesters saw somebody taking photos of them from inside the embassy", according to Gheyretjan Rozi of the Dutch Uighur Support Group. A Chinese FM spokesman strongly condemned the attacks, and the Dutch Government apologised and agreed to pay for repairs to the embassy.
