Beijing is pressuring the U.N. to suppress a forthcoming report on China’s human rights violations against ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, according to a Chinese letter Reuters obtained which diplomats from three countries confirmed.
Beijing’s foreign ministers have petitioned Michelle Bachelet, the U.N. high commissioner for Human Rights, with a letter urging her to scrap the release of a long-awaited report on human rights violations occurring within China’s Xinjiang province, Reuters reported after seeing the letter. The U.S. State Department determined in 2021 that China “has committed genocide against the predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang” since at least 2017.
