A high-level UN panel on Oct 26 slammed Beijing's ongoing and egregious human rights abuses in the western Xinjiang regions of the People's Republic. China's human rights violations have been committed through the use of "severe and undue restrictions" that are "characterised by a discriminatory component, as the underlying acts often directly or indirectly affect Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim communities".
In other words, the Beijing regime is targeting specific ethnic and religious communities for discrimination and violence.
The presentation, "The situation of Uyghur and other Turkic Muslim minorities in Xinjiang," followed the report by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, (OHCHR) which found credible evidence of patterns of torture, forced medical treatments, forced labour, incidents of sexual and gender-based violence, violations of reproductive rights, and the destruction of religious sites. This is in addition to the widespread use of massive detention and re-education camps for over a million local residents.
