China's 'horrific' treatment of Uyghurs condemned by US and more than 30 countries at UN

ABC  

The United States and more than 30 countries have condemned what they call China's "horrific campaign of repression" against its Uyghur Muslims minority in the western region of Xinjiang. Key points: Beijing is alleged to be waging widescale repression of its Uyghur Muslim minority The US said UN members had a responsibility to speak up about human rights attacks Muslim governments have been silent over allegations of China's Uyghur mistreatment The move came at an event on the sidelines of the annual United Nations General Assembly, which was denounced by China on Tuesday. Mr Sullivan said it was incumbent on member states to ensure the world body was able to closely monitor human rights abuses by China and added that it must seek "immediate, unhindered and unmonitored" access to Xinjiang for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The Organisation for Islamic Cooperation — the inter-governmental peak body for the Muslim world — has been repeatedly criticised for failing to speak up China's alleged human rights abuses against Muslims in Xinjiang.
