Uighur Muslims in Türkiye ask UN human rights chief to investigate so-called 're-education camps' when she visits China's Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region this month

Uighur community in Türkiye has staged daily protests outside the Chinese consulate in Istanbul over the past few years.

"Because if the UN goes there and listens to the one-sided Chinese thesis ... it would come up with a completely false report which would be very embarrassing for the UN and the human rights agency," he said. Rights groups say that at least one million mostly Muslim minorities have been incarcerated in "re-education camps" spread across the vast northwestern Chinese region, where China is accused of widespread human rights abuses.

Medine Nazimi, a Uighur woman whose sister is held in one of the camps in Xinjiang, demanded "true answers" about her whereabouts, holding a picture of her with the writing "China, Release my sister!". "The Chinese government separated us from our loved ones. We don't get any information about them. We want the UN to close the concentration camps and rescue our family members."
