OSLO (AP) - About 100 ethnic Uighurs are protesting outside China's Embassy in Oslo against the violence in western China.
Protesters are waving the Uighurs' national flag and calling on China to end the violence and ethnic discrimination in the Xinjiang province in China, where at least 156 people have died in rioting in recent days.
A large police force in riot gear was standing between the crowd at the main entrance to the embassy in Oslo late Tuesday afternoon.
Police have warned protesters that they would be arrested if they did not move further away from the embassy compound, but the protesters have refused to obey.
