China Moves to Correct ‘Lies’ and ‘Misinformation’ In Australian Reporting on Uyghurs
Voice of America
SYDNEY - The Chinese Embassy in Canberra has invited journalists to a presentation to counter what it has called false reporting in Australia about allegations of widespread abuses of the Uyghur Muslim minority in Xinjiang province.
Australian politicians have compared China's treatment of its Uyghur minority to the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. One lawmaker said hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs were facing forced labor or abuse in prisons throughout the Chinese province of Xinjiang. It is alleged more than 1 million people, including other Muslim minorities, have been interned in what the United Nations has described as “reeducation camps.” China, however, has strongly disputed the allegations.Palestinians gather at the site of an Israeli strike on a camp for internally displaced people in Rafah on May 27, 2024.
