Paris on Tuesday said the imprisonment of ethnic and religious minorities in China’s western Xinjiang region is « unacceptable » and demanded that Beijing let independent human rights observers visit the area.
Rights groups and experts estimate that more than one million ethnic Uighurs and other Turkic-speaking minorities have been rounded up into a network of internment camps.
« France is closely following all the testimonies relayed by the press and through human rights organisations, » Foreign Affairs minister Jean-Yves le Drian told parliament.
