Bachelet denies pressure from Chinese authorities on Xinjiang report

Lima, Jul 20 (EFE), (Camera: Mikhail Huacàn) .- The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, denied Wednesday having received a letter from Chinese authorities asking her to refrain from publishing a report on alleged human rights violations against Uighur inhabitants of the Xinjiang region.

"There is no letter from the Chinese authorities, no. The truth is that there is a letter from countries, just as there are letters from countries asking me to publish it there are letters from countries asking me not to publish it, that is something that is normal," Bachelet declared in a press conference from Lima.
