Xinjiang slams lies about human rights

BEIJING: The government of Xinjiang Uyghurs Autonomous Region on Monday refuted the lies fabricated by the United States and some other Western countries about human rights in the region with evidence and facts.

At the recent 48th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, some Western countries made groundless accusations against China over Xinjiang-related issues based on disinformation, rumors and lies, said Xu Guixiang, a spokesman with the regional government, at a press conference in Beijing.
