The suppression of information in the Asiatic country in the pandemic drew their attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At that time, attacks on human rights defenders, journalists, lawyers and critics of the Chinese government had been registered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the letter the undersigning organisations also list precedents of rights violations in the country and say they are outraged by China\u00b4s efforts to distort the mandate of the UN Human Rights Council, through cooperation rather than accountability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The organisations endorse the experts and await a special session to evaluate the situation and an impartial mechanism set up
