Pakistan’s prime minister embraces China’s policy toward Uyghurs in remarks on Communist Party centenary

Much of the international community had condemned the mass detention and efforts at forced assimilation of Uyghurs, which the U.S. State Department has described as “genocide.” More than 1 million Uyghurs, a mostly Muslim ethnic minority group, have been sent to what Beijing calls “vocational educational and training centers,” but which human rights groups say are detention camps, where extensive abuses have been reported.
