Xinjiang abuses may be crimes vs humanity – UN
By Agence France-Presse
Sep 02, 2022 12:36 am

GENEVA: The United Nations released on Wednesday night a bombshell report on serious human rights abuses in China's Xinjiang region, saying torture allegations were credible and citing possible crimes against humanity.

The long-awaited report detailed a string of rights violations against Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in the northwestern region. But it made no reference to genocide, one of the key allegations made by the United States and other critics.
