Michelle Bachelet due to visit Uyghur region in May after United Nations long pushed China for ‘unfettered, meaningful’ access
to visit in May. No human rights commissioner has visited China since 2005. At the time Throssell said both the advance team and Bachelet “will go or are due to go to Xinjiang, and obviously visit Beijing and other locations”.
“What I want to tell you is that the purpose of the visit of the high commissioner for human rights is to promote exchanges and cooperation between the two sides,” he said. “We have always opposed the use of this matter for political manipulation.”not yet releasing a long-delayed report on the rights situation in Xinjiang
China’s Communist party government rejects all accusations of mistreatment and wrongdoing, and says the policies are part of anti-terror and anti-poverty campaigns. It initially denied the existence of the detention centres, where at least one million people have been detained. Later it claimed they were vocational training centres. Authorities strictly control the region, including attempting to block media access and refusing requests for international bodies like the UN to visit.
