Talks with the Commissioner for Human Rights

: During her visit to China, the UN Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, spoke with the Chinese Prime Minister Xi Jinping.

The exchange took place via video.

Recently there had been sharp criticism of human rights violations and the persecution of minorities in China.

Bachelet's visit is the first by a UN human rights commissioner to China in 17 years.

Just a day earlier, the "Xinjiang Police Files" had caused an international stir.

This is a data leak that sheds light on China's treatment of the Uyghurs and other minorities in Xinjiang, northwest China.

Bachelet traveled to Xinjiang to see the situation on the ground for himself.

Human rights organizations have expressed doubts as to whether the UN human rights commissioner will actually have free access to camps, detention centers and inmates in order to get an independent picture.
