Leaked Chinese files expose a shoot to kill policy in Uyghur camps

BBC World Service - Newsday, Leaked Chinese files expose a shoot to kill policy in Uyghur camps

Beijing says the re-education camps are used to combat extremism

According to the Chinese Government the re-education camps are used to extremism issues.

A cache of hacked documents thought to be from inside China's secretive network of detention centres shows that guards operate a shoot-to-kill policy against Uyghur prisoners trying to escape.

China says a visit to Xinjiang by the UN's top rights official will help clear up misunderstandings over its treatment of Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities.

Meanwhile, China's neighbours are nervous - at a summit in Tokyo, President Biden has told leaders from India, Japan and Australia that their Quad group is about 'democracies versus autocracies'.

And the latest on the latest monkeypox outbreak - the World Health Organisation believes that it can be contained without the need for mass vaccinations.
