Western countries sanction China over rights abuses

Several Western countries have imposed sanctions on officials in China over rights abuses against the mostly Muslim Uighur minority group, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
China has detained Uighurs at camps in the north-west region of Xinjiang, where allegations of torture, forced labour and sexual abuse have emerged, said the BBC report.
The sanctions were introduced as a coordinated effort by the European Union, UK, US and Canada.
China responded with its own sanctions on European officials.
It has denied the allegations of abuse, claiming the camps are "re-education" facilities used to combat terrorism, the report added.
