China loosens some Uyghur travel restrictions but maintains strict controls, amid rights abuses claims.

Human Rights Watch reports that while China has loosened some travel restrictions for Uyghurs, it still imposes strict controls on international travel and family visits within Xinjiang. The Chinese government denies UN accusations of detaining over a million Uyghurs and other Muslims, claiming their policies combat extremism and promote economic growth. Despite some Uyghurs receiving passports, they face strict conditions, including disclosing travel purposes and not criticizing the government abroad.
