The new film adaptation of the 90's classic Mulan was partly shot in Xinjiang province.
The region, located in northwestern China, is known for its prison-like retraining camps, where mainly members of the Muslim minority group Uighurs have been held captive and forced to learn loyalty to the central government in Beijing.
Amnesty's lobby coordinator Maja Åberg has a hard time understanding that the film company has chosen to record the film in the area.
- Given the attention that Xinjiang has received in recent years, it feels strange that they have chosen to do this, she says.
"Must make demands"
In the film's subtitles, Disney addresses a special thank you to four Chinese propaganda departments and the security agency in Xinjiang, writes The Washington Post.
Maja Åberg does not want to comment on the afterwords, but believes that demands should be made on the companies that operate in the province.
- You must demand from film companies, like all other companies, that you inform yourself about the situation: that you know what it looks like with violations of human rights and that you do not in any way contribute to what is going on, says Maja Åberg.
