Activists accuse the United Nations’ human rights chief of failing to pressure China over alleged human rights abuses during a rare trip.
Activists have accused United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet of failing to impress China over allegations of human rights abuses, in a rare trip.
During his six days there, Bachelet traveled to the Xinjiang region, where the United States says genocide is being committed against Uighur Muslims.
China denies this, despite the evidence.
So, if so, what could Bachelet’s trip mean for human rights in China?
