Australia Seeks UN Probe Into New China Uighur Abuse Claims
Australia has called for a United Nations investigation into allegations of human rights abuses in China’s Xinjiang region. In the statement, Australia also urged China to allow international observers, including the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, to be given immediate and unfettered access to Xinjiang
Former detainees and a guard said they experienced or witnessed systematic rape and torture inside China’s so-called re-education camps where the UN says anywhere from tens of thousands to “upwards of 1 million” Uighurs have been detained.
