A Chinese official has denied that over 1 million Uyghurs and other Muslim ethnic minorities are being held in re-education camps in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The official, Hu Lianhe, was answering questions Monday raised by the United Nations’ Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Hu told the group, “The argument that 1 million are detained in re-education centers is completely untrue.” Hu said officials in Xinjiang officials protect the human rights of all citizens equally. But Hu also said that “those who are deceived by religious extremism…shall be assisted through resettlement and education.” Last Friday, UN committee member Gay McDougall cited reports that estimate 1.1 million people in Xinjiang are being held in political re-education camps. McDougall also noted reports of an additional 2 million people being required to take part in “open re-education camps.”
