Asia Stream - Human Rights in Xinjiang: The U.N.’s China Compromise

In this episode of Asia Stream, we discuss evidence of human rights abuses against Uyghurs in China's Xinjiang Province as a new collection of leaked documents rocks the world and U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet returns from a controversial visit to the region.

Monica Hunter-Hart interviews Michael Clarke, Adrian Zenz and Sophie Richardson about the history of Xinjiang, the Xinjiang Police Files leak and Bachelet's visit. She also talks to a Uyghur man who spent a month in pretrial detention in 2017. Jack Stone Truitt also interviews Darren Byler on Xinjiang's surveillance tech.
