主题：英国每日电讯报驻上海记者对新疆暴乱的报导 -- frnkl

Malcolm Moore is the Telegraph's Shanghai Correspondent. He arrived in China in July 2008 after three years in Italy as the Telegraph's Rome Correspondent. Before that, he was the paper's Economics Correspondent.

Turning over the riots in my mind, I concede I was wrong in my last post to suggest that Rebiya Kadeer would rise in stature as a result of the riots.

When I wrote the post, I had limited information and I jumped to the conclusion that the 156 victims of Sunday’s violence were Uighur.

In fact, it appears that the majority of the victims were Han Chinese, brutally killed by gangs of Uighurs roaming through the back streets of Urumqi. There are some horrific pictures circulating of rows of bloodied bodies and cyclists lying in puddles of blood with their heads bashed in.

I apologise for running ahead of the facts, but the idea that Chinese troops had been unable to prevent the Uighurs from murdering Han Chinese honestly never occurred to me.

Now that the sequence of events is clearer, I have a lot of praise for the Chinese security operation in the city. According to Peter Foster, who is on the scene, they managed to prevent escalating situations getting out of hand several times yesterday with calm and judicious policing.

In addition, allowing journalists to circulate and protecting them from the crowd has clearly paid dividends. Rebiya Kadeer’s claims that 400 Uighurs were killed on Sunday were dismissed by my colleagues on the ground, who have neither seen nor heard any evidence to back up her accusation.

CNN较早的一篇《中国新疆发生动乱》的报道中，通篇只引用了对一名维吾尔族目击者和一名世维会发言人的採访，认为週日下午的警民衝突是由维族人的和平游行演变而来的，让人以为受害者多为维族人。这篇报道受到了中国众多网友的抨击。而动乱发生的第二天，自由亚洲电台（RFA）、路透社也将一张上月湖北石首事件的照片误当新疆暴乱的图片发出来，被英国《每日电讯》、香港及台湾等一些媒体转载引用。更荒谬的是，这幅「张冠李戴」的图片也被世界维吾尔代表大会主席热比娅在七日接受半岛电视台採访时亮出，作为中共解放军进城镇压的证据。

台湾支持台独的《自由时报》标题出现「中国血腥镇压」，通篇报道只引用了世界维吾尔大会的数据和消息，并且在六日就发出乌鲁木齐市有「坦克辗毙学生」的报道。而七月六日开始在网上疯传被认为是维族学生倒地的一张图片，后来被中国网友发现其实是零八年八月上海人民广场的一张图片。

最新的消息是，八日下午从深圳等地抽调来的五千特警刚下飞机。目前当地所有武装力量均为武警或警察，并未见到解放军进城。在友谊医院，亚洲週刊记者发现死伤者身体上都是刀伤、砍伤、钝伤等外伤，没发现枪伤。英国《卫报》记者Malcolm Moore七月七日在twitter上发的消息也称「极少枪伤」(Very few bullet wounds)。

面对国际媒体错误不断的报道，北京当局七日下午发布了部分「七五事件」现场图片。图片之血腥让人震惊。有意思的是，这些图片都只是对境外媒体发放，境内媒体和网站没能刊出这些图片。饭否网友认为，北京官方对于死伤具体数字的暧昧和对受害者民族身份的有意模糊，不仅仅是出于习惯性的新闻控制，更主要是怕各地的汉族民众得知残忍的真相后，对身边的维族进行报复性攻击。北京当局用心良苦，但似乎反而使国际媒体出现更多失实报道。

其他的媒体就更技巧的利用这种语言模糊的歧义，甚至加上血腥镇压、暴力镇压的字眼。因此不少读者以为这次又是一个「天安门事件」。七月七日BBC的记者 Chris Hogg说，这次新疆动乱是和天安门事件等同的暴力事件，不过他这句话后来被替换成了「这是中国几十年来最严重的暴力事件」。不少国际媒体和人权组织后来只关注中国当局抓了多少维族人，而不深究残暴屠杀的受害者，被人质疑他们的公正性。

北京当局的欲言又止，国际媒体有意无意的偏向性报道，让上千无辜死伤者冤魂难安。新疆乌鲁木齐的种族仇杀事件已经进入第四天，儘管当局已基本控制局势，但是恐怖紧张的气氛仍笼罩全疆。

不过，在部分国际媒体的报道中，这些汉族示威者被称为「暴徒」（mob），而对维族人一直使用中性的「示威者」等词。美联社当时发出的报道称：「週二，在中国新疆首府乌鲁木齐街上，汉族暴民(mobs of Han Chinese)挥舞著菜刀和棍棒，而成群的穆斯林维族人(groups of Muslism Uighur men)则打人。」这种明显差别对待汉族人和维族人的做法，被中国网友批评为「颠倒黑白」。在乌鲁木齐的外国记者发现，示威汉族人对西方记者不信任，而维族人则对汉族面孔的记者有敌意。
