British tourists arrested in China for watching documentary about Genghis Khan
Breaking Newstags: China, Genghis Khan, British tourists
Three more British tourists are to be deported back to the UK by China after they were arrested during a historical sightseeing tour for watching a documentary.
They are among the last of a group of friends including nine Britons, 10 South Africans and an Indian to be freed from jail and returned to their home countries.
State media claimed the visitors had been watching “banned terrorist videos” but they insisted the film in question was a documentary about Genghis Khan.
