GENEVA (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia, Russia and 35 other states have written to the United Nations supporting China’s policies in its western region of Xinjiang, according to a copy of the letter seen by Reuters on Friday, in contrast to strong Western criticism.

China has been accused of detaining a million Muslims and persecuting ethnic Uighurs in Xinjiang, and 22 ambassadors signed a letter to the U.N. Human Rights Council this week criticizing its policies.

But the letter supporting China commended what it called China’s remarkable achievements in the field of human rights.

“Faced with the grave challenge of terrorism and extremism, China has undertaken a series of counter-terrorism and deradicalization measures in Xinjiang, including setting up vocational education and training centers,” the letter said.

  1. Shame on Saudi Arabia and all Muslim countries. But it just goes to show: Trade relations, loan relations are more important than Human Rights, even of our own Muslim brothers and sisters. It goes into the same category like Western countries who talk about democracy and freedom all the time, but when it comes to arms sales all that is forgotten.

    Most Islamic leaders are hypocrite.
    It is hard to find a good leader now.
    I think JOKOWI is a good leader
