The United States called on China's government Wednesday to grant “unhindered and unsupervised access" to the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, when she visits China and its western Xinjiang region in May.
Ambassador Sheba Crocker, the U.S. permanent representative to U.N. institutions in Geneva, said any interference in the work of Bachelet's team would support “propaganda" that denies alleged rights abuses against members of the Muslim Uyghur minority in Xinjiang and others.
