UN asks for unfettered access to China's Uyghur region

The United Nations rights chief Michelle Bachelet welcomed China’s invitation to tour the Muslim-majority Xinjiang region, notorious for its reeducation camps, which the Communist Party claims are designed to combat religious extremism, and have been repeatedly condemned by the West for violating human rights.
Beijing has promised to let UN officials to Xinjiang on the condition they stay out of its internal affairs.”We will seek to analyse in-depth the human rights situation in China, including the situation of members of the Uighur minority. We will continue to request unfettered access for an advance team in preparation for this proposed visit,” Bachelet said.
According to recently leaked documents from the camps, China is tracking every family and every movement of Muslim minority Uighurs. The documents reveal that Uyghurs have been arrested for growing beards, fasting, or having too many ”children. The inmates in the camps get points for following strict rules. Earning points makes it possible for the detainees, which Chinese authorities classify as “students”, to “graduate” from the camps.
China’s ambassador to the UN, Chen Xu, rejected the allegations as “unacceptable”: “We are looking forward to the visit of the High Commissioner Mrs Bachelet to China, including to Xinjiang this year, and we are working closely with her office on detailed arrangements for her visit”, he said.
