UNHRC Chief calls on China to repeal the “Ethnic Unity Law”
Geneva — UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk delivered his global report on Monday during the 62nd session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva. He expressed deep concern over China’s assimilation policies, particular "ethnic Unity Law", which restricts the freedoms of language, education, practice of religion, culture, expression and assembly; and penalizing the peaceful exercise of minority rights in general. "I call for the law to be repealed and for these practices to end," he said.
