TOPSHOT-CHINA-XINJIANG-UYGHURS

TOPSHOT - This picture taken on July 19, 2023 shows a watchtower of an alleged detention facility in Artux in Kizilsu Prefecture in China's northwestern Xinjiang region. Beijing stands accused of incarcerating over one million Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in a network of detention facilities across Xinjiang, a region in northwestern China that is shrouded in secrecy, under extreme surveillance and under-reported. However, China insists allegations it has committed genocide are the "lie of the century" and says its actions have helped to combat extremism and enhance development.
