U.N. Human Rights Chief Michelle Bachelet Praises China, Claims It Has ‘Dismantled’ Concentration Camps
Breitbart ^ | 05/30/2022 | Frances Martel

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet praised China’s “tremendous achievements” in human rights this weekend and claimed that the Communist Party has “dismantled” all of its concentration camps in the Uyghur region of East Turkistan, concluding her visit to the region.

Bachelet used the Chinese Communist Party’s preferred euphemism for the concentration camps, “Vocational Education and Training Centers” (VETC), and claimed that Party officials allowed her to visit what is now the “Kashgar Experimental School,” an alleged former camp. In her remarks on Saturday as she concluded the trip to China, Bachelet emphasized that her visit was “not an investigation” and that she had traveled to China for exchanges with Party officials to “listen to each other, raise concerns, explore and pave the way for more regular, meaningful interactions in the future.”

Bachelet did not use the word “genocide” to describe the well-documented campaign the Communist Party launched in 2017 of mass internment, torture, slavery, forced sterilization, disappearances, and other human rights atrocities against Uyghurs and other ethnic groups native to East Turkistan, which Beijing refers to by the Mandarin name “Xinjiang.” Her remarks did not address reports revealing that the Chinese government sells concentration camp victims as slaves or documentation that indicates that China is killing as many as 50,000 concentration camp victims to sell their organs, potentially yielding as many as 150,000 organs for wealthy buyers around the world.

How much did the Chinese have to pay to get her on the payroll? As much as Biden?

… what is now the “Kashgar Experimental School,” …

They just changed the sign outside the front gate. Is “Arbeit Macht Frei” right below it?

One could surmise that China, itself, is one big concentration camp...

They would never have invited her unless they knew what she would say.

Just like Robeson who went to the USSR and claimed there were no gulags and not starving Ukrainians.
