47-member body rejected text in a narrow vote of 17-19, with 11 abstentions • FM claims victory after human rights body approves first Israeli resolution
The UN report comes out in a much-awaited but much-disappointed way. It doesn’t seriously address one of the most horrific crimes in our century in a fair and just manner.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet recommended the Chinese government take prompt steps to release all those detained in training centers, prisons or detention facilities.
This is the second year in a row that Israeli has signed onto such a statement.
China denies abuses in Xinjiang, a major cotton producer that also supplies much of the world's materials for solar panels, and says the law "slanders" the country's human rights situation.
The hacking produced thousands of files that prove that Chinese 're-education' camps are in fact security internment camps.
Most of the world didn’t seem to know, or care, that the host country is hosting a pageant of “peace and friendship” while simultaneously terrorizing its Uyghur minority.
China rejects accusations of abuse, describing the camps as vocational centers designed to combat extremism, and in late 2019 it said all people in the camps had "graduated."
It seems the CCP has quite a few friends helping them whitewash their crimes against humanity as the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing carry on despite Chinese human rights abuses.
Since 2015, China has cracked down on its Uyghur population — a Turkic Muslim minority with a presence in the country’s western Xinjiang region.
