Identity but about teaching employment skills and pushing out what it calls extremism year far surely by ceasing up locational education and Training Centers in accordance with the law we aim to education save those who were influenced by religious extremism and committed to mine it legal to fix it. The letter is not tied to a vote or a resolution but it will be published as an official document of the Uns Human Rights Council activists say its a good sign but chinas government has long stood defiant against foreign criticism katia locus of the young aljazeera and for more on this high cost on and wayne hay is joining us live from beijing has there been any response from the Chinese Government so far weighing. Not yet elizabeth we may well hear something in the next hour or so in a daily ministry of Foreign Affairs briefing that the government holds here and i suspect the message will be similar to what they have said before that these countries that have signed this letter are impinging on the sovereignty of china that this is a domestic affair and anyone outside of china should stay out of the Domestic Affairs here at will probably also reiterate the fact that these are not detention camps that these are vocational institutions they are designed in the end to combat extremism and terrorism which the government here in beijing says they have been successful in doing so we have to remember that it was not that long ago that the chinese denied that these camps even existed so since then since information has emerged evidence of these facilities engine jang has been revealed of being forced to acknowledge their existence and then explain to the International Community exactly what they are but they certainly do not agree with the assertion that their detention camps or that there are human rights abuses taking place there and since they say that the camps are vocational and educational any chance wayne that they will allen specters access to the camps that the letter is calling for. Yes well i think the important word in that letter when they called for inspectors to be allowed access to the camps to the area is meaningful they want meaningful access and they were referring to free access really because that is not what weve seen in the past yes the chinese may eventually agree to allow some sort of access to the facilities but extremely doubtful whether it will be meaningful because as a say in the past they have organized media trips to the facilities diplomatic trips as well by diplomats who are based here in beijing but its been a very controlled affair so there would be real debate about whether those visits have been meaningful or whether any in the future will be meaningful strictly controlled by the government they show the journalists the diplomats only what the government here in beijing wants the outside world to see and even for us right now we could fly to that area right now but as soon as we got off the plane we would be greeted by police and our movements would be severely restricted and we wouldnt be able to get anywhere near those facilities themselves so they may well grant that permission certainly wont do it any time soon i think this is being seen from those countries that signed the letter as perhaps the 1st step in applying pressure on the government here in beijing when thank you very much for that for now thats why im here with the natives live in beijing thank you.
