UN rights chief acknowledges ‘tremendous pressure’ on China's rights report

Geneva, Aug 25 (EFE).- (Camera: UN) The outgoing UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet Thursday acknowledged that there was “tremendous pressure” over a long-awaited report on human rights in China.

Speaking to reporters in Geneva days before her four-year term ends on Aug.31, Bachelet said none of it would deter the United Nations human rights agency from publishing the delayed report on China’s Xinjiang region.

The report focuses on the human rights situation of the Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in the north-western region.
