Kato: Japan to monitor Uighur human rights

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato Katsunobu says the government is watching with concern the human rights situation of Uighurs in China.

Kato was speaking to reporters on Monday about China's policy for the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Last week, Chinese President Xi Jinping indicated at a meeting to discuss Xinjiang policies that Beijing will continue to exercise ideological and religious control in the region.
