Washington: The World Bank said it is again reviewing a loan to China to provide vocational education to the Muslim Uighur minority, but has “no indication” the funds were used for anything other than schooling.
China’s treatment of the Uighurs – a mostly Muslim, Turkic-speaking minority concentrated in the country’s tightly-controlled northwestern Xinjiang region – has come under growing scrutiny.
“Nevertheless, based on recent claims, we are conducting an additional review led by a diverse team of experts... If action is warranted, we will take it.” “In these camps, Chinese authorities mistreat and torture detainees while requiring them to engage in forced labour, and to renounce their religion and culture, ” adding that the actions “may constitute crimes against humanity.”
