EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell welcomed a UN report yesterday on what it said was a rigorous review of evidence suggesting systemic abuse of Muslim minorities in China. The report released by the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said that Uyghurs in the Chinese province of Xinjiang and other predominantly Muslim groups were routinely placed in reeducation camps where they were subjected to torture, rape, forced labour and abortion. 

He quoted the 48-page report as saying that the suspected abuse of Muslim minorities in China



might amount to crimes against humanity. A group of 60 Uyghur organizations from 20 countries are calling for an immediate response to put an end to atrocities against Uyghurs, following the release of a report by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). 

A groundbreaking United Nations report published on August 31 says the Chinese government has committed abuses that may amount to crimes against humanity targeting Uyghurs and other Turkic communities in the Xinjiang region.
