China has rejected a request by the International Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to co-operate in the investigation into minority attacks and human rights abuses.
China responded as a unit to the UNHRC on this issue. Meanwhile, more than one million Uyghur living in Xinjiang has been illegally detained by other Muslims in the name of counter-terrorism.
In the name of suppressing extremism in the same order, it is obstructing the freedom of expression of the people there. Many countries have strongly condemned these actions.
“We welcome the visit of the UNHRC High Commissioner to Xinjiang,” a Chinese official said. The visit is aimed at promoting bilateral exchange and cooperation.
He said the issue was creating a political crisis in China, and some people were trying to put pressure on us. He blamed the East Turkestan Islamic Movement for the violence in Xinjiang.
Meanwhile, 42 countries in the UN Human Rights Council have expressed concern over the deaths of Uyghurs. Pressure is mounting on the UNHRC from several countries to investigate the genocide of Xinjiang Muslim militants.

The debates were focused on the Chinese record of human rights, particularly in its regional area of the Uygur; Xinjiang has been extended to the 47th UNHRC meeting, which was launched Monday.
With no legal foundation or evidence at present, the small group of Western countries, led by Canada, the USA, and the United Kingdom, was determined to pursue their groundless “genocide” charges against China.
The UN High Commissioner for HumanRights Michelle Bachelet also issued a statement on Monday stating that they have closely monitored the application of Hong Kong’s National Security Law and that the chilly effect it has had on the city and democracy, in which they refer to Chinese Hong Kong and the Xinjiang regions.
She remarked on Xinjiang that she is still talking to China on how she may visit the Xinjiang Region, including meaningful access, and hopes that “this can be done this year.”
“We urge China to allow immediate, meaningful and unfettered access to Xinjiang for independent observers,”
At the UNHRC conference in Geneva, Leslie Norton, Ambassador to Canada and UN Permanent Representative, spoke on behalf of 40 countries.
It was supported by Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Spain, and the US.
Norton further requested that China address Xinjiang-related recommendations from the Committee to Eliminate Racial Discrimination, including a halt to arbitrary arrest of Uyghur and other Muslim minorities.
The remarks indicated torts or cruelty, inhumanity and degradation of treatment or punishment, forced sterilization, sexual violence, and forced separation of children from their parents by authorities.
It further urged China to give impartial observers, including the High Commissioner, urgent, meaningful, and unrestricted access to Xinjiang.
It also voiced concerns over the decline of fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong in accordance with the National Security Law and the condition of human rights in Tibet. “We call on the Chinese authorities to comply with their commitments on human rights.”
Despite growing evidence, China rejects the mistreatment of Uyghurs and insists that “vocational training” centers to prevent extremism are simply run.
