Uyghur human rights leader Rebiya Kadeer and China’s communist authorities are not waging a morally equivalent propaganda war, writes James P. McGovern, co-chair of the House of Representative’s Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission. He objects to a recent news story which praised Beijing for allowing journalists access to Urumchi in the aftermath of recent disturbances:
If China was so gracious as to grant access, why would it reject an impartial investigation by the relevant U.N. human rights agencies, which can genuinely investigate the circumstances of the violence and the legality of the subsequent mass arrests and detentions?
