UN human rights chief to visit China in May

Catch up quick: China has been criticized by world leaders and institutions regarding their genocide of Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang region of China.

• The State Department declared that they were committing genocide against Uyghur Muslims, per NYT.

What they're saying: "In China, I remain concerned about the treatment of individuals who speak up on human rights issues that are deemed critical of the policies of the authorities at the local or national level- some of whom have faced restrictions on their freedom of movement, including house arrest, or in some cases have been sentenced to terms of imprisonment based on criminal charges stemming from their activities," Bachelet said in a statement.
