Uighur group celebrates UN human rights chief stepping down
Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, delivers her statement during the opening day of the 50th session of the Human Rights Council, at the European headquarters of the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, Monday, June 13, 2022

A CIA-backed Uighur group has claimed success in its campaign to oust UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet after she refused to back Western claims of a genocide in China. 

Adviser to the World Uighur Congress Luke de Pulford celebrated her resignation saying that the “Uighur-led campaign” had “achieved its goal.”

He called for “someone who is up to the job” to replace her.
