The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet has called for an investigation into alleged excessive use of force by police in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is in the grip of anti-government protests.
China has dismissed Ms Bachelet’s call as inappropriate interference in the country’s affairs.
China’s mission to the UN in Geneva said an article written by Michelle Bachelet in the South China Morning Post was erroneous and violates principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
In a statement, the Chinese mission said the article contains inappropriate comments on the situation of the Hong Kong.
In the article published yesterday, Ms Bachelet urged authorities in Hong Kong to conduct a proper independent and impartial judicial investigation into reports of excessive use of force by the police.
