<p>We are aware of reports of significant numbers of individuals being detained by
the Chinese authorities in re-education camps in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region,
and that Uyghurs are subject to increasing security surveillance.</p><p>We remain
deeply concerned about restrictions on freedom of religion or belief in China, particularly
in Xinjiang. We raised our concerns about the situation in Xinjiang directly with
the Chinese authorities at the UK/China Human Rights Dialogue, which last took place
in Beijing in June 2017. In addition we issued an item IV statement at the 38th UN
Human Rights Council on 27 June 2018 which reiterated our concerns about re-education
camps in Xinjiang . We also supported the EU item IV statement at the same session,
which expressed a similar concern.</p>
