Focus on China

China refutes leaked documents showing its crackdown on Uighurs and other Muslims as the project of "hostile foreign forces" while rights activists call on countries to break the silence on Beijing.

Why is China a member of the UN Human Rights Council?

Chinese authorities call out the media for "smearing its counter-terrorism and anti-extremism efforts in Xinjiang" as new documents show the calculated & extrajudicial nature of Uighur detention camps.

.@Reuters: China wrote to the UN this weekend urging them not to accredit our guest speaker, Hong Kong lawmaker Tanya Chan, calling her a “convicted criminal,” in connection with her 2014 Umbrella Protest advocacy. https://t.co/bAvF9o9kDC

As a critic of the UN, I welcome this strong statement by UN experts in defense of Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters. This is what UN rights chief @mbachelet should have said in her opening statement to the UNHRC on Monday, instead of—shamefully—mostly siding with brutal China. https://t.co/zghcGdD2Qo

Kowtowing to Beijing, UN human rights chief @mbachelet focuses her criticism on the Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters, opening her remarks with "My Office continues to engage in bilateral dialogue with the Government of China…" 🇺🇳🇨🇳https://t.co/QCjvAYJpjK pic.twitter.com/YmFrwSFgPk

In other words, in her opening #HRC42 address, UN human rights chief @mbachelet had the courage to deliver 5 key points about climate change (a target one can hit with impunity), but failed to mention the 5 key demands of Hong Kong democracy protesters (out of her fear of China). pic.twitter.com/pG565GOykq

.@wendyrsherman When I asked her UNHRC rep in 2013 for a resolution on China's violations of human rights, he literally laughed at me. Why should Merkel's many virtues justify German complicity with the crushing of Muslim Uighurs, Tibetans, Hong Kong & 1.3 billion other citizens? https://t.co/j71HCPTyGb

No, it's the opposite: UN Watch has focused intensively on China and its brutal repression of Uighur Muslims. Please see here: https://t.co/unzmtIQtZo

Chinese re-education camps in #Xinjiang do not stop at aiming to detain and indocrinate 1 million Uyghur Muslims—now, a system of forced labor is emerging there too. Why is China on the UN Human Rights Council?

Hong Kong moves to criminalize disrespecting China's national anthem, a Communist Party symbol. Opposition members fear the new legislation will be used as a political tool to persecute pro-democracy voices. Why is China on the UN Human Rights Council? https://t.co/oq89RlnxHh

Mihrigul Tursun, a muslim Uyghur suffered torture and abuse from Chinese authorities in detention camp. #China has 1 million Uyghur Muslims detained, yet just weeks ago China was heavily praised by most countries in the UN for their human rights record. https://t.co/pNBzrZAo2e pic.twitter.com/M90G9DFwPt
