WASHINGTON: August is a significant month for international human rights organizations and the Uyghur diaspora, who have been anticipating a long-promised report on Xinjiang from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

“As we have said, the high commissioner has committed to publishing the report before her term finishes at the end of the month,” OHCHR spokesperson Liz Throssell told VOA.
