WASHINGTON, 10 July. - (ANA) - The US Administration has announced sanctions against China for its human rights violations against Muslim minorities in Xinjiang province. 

 

Beijing is accused of mass detentions, religious persecution and forced sterilisation of Uighurs women and others. 

 

Rights groups say up to a million Muslims have been detained in high-security prison camps across Xinjiang province. 

 

China said on Friday it would take "reciprocal measures" against the United States after Washington imposed sanctions on senior Chinese officials over alleged human rights abuses against the Uighur Muslim minority.   - (ANA) -
