Human rights groups call for UN update, action on China's Xinjiang

Uyghur and other demonstrators hold a banner and placards as they await the arrival of Chinese Premier Li Qiang in Adelaide, Australia, on June 16, 2024. Human rights groups said on June 20 that the U.N. must act on a two-year-old report of rights violations against the Uyghurs.

Human rights groups on Thursday called for the United Nations to act and provide more updates on a report published nearly two years ago about a range of rights violations in China’s remote western region of Xinjiang.
