GENEVA - The UN acknowledged on Friday that a widely anticipated report on human rights in Xinjiang, where China stands accused of serious abuses against minority Uighur Muslims, will not be publish

ed before the Olympics.amid fears that China will use the Beijing 2022 Winter Games, which start next week, to distract from alleged wide-scale rights violations in Xinjiang.

Mr Colville said the way the paper had characterised the situation was"not correct in our view", insisting that the report and Ms Bachelet's visit were"separate" issues. Beijing has long said Ms Bachelet would be welcome to visit Xinjiang, but has so far not agreed to allow her the"meaningful and unfettered access" she has been seeking.
