Mi familia lleva tres días sin luz, ni agua, ni calefacción, ni conexión a internet porque los soldados rusos han destruido todas las infraestructuras de la ciudad del este de Ucrania en la que trataron de refugiarse de la guerra. A duras penas se consigue cobertura. Mi tía se permite realizar una llamada al día, por la mañana, para dar un parte de guerra en toda regla: “Han estado disparando por las noches, nos hemos escondido en el pasillo donde no hay ventanas, estamos bien”. El resto del tiempo tienen el móvil apagado para que no se gaste la batería. Si eso llega a ocurrir, no sabemos cuándo podrían volver a cargarlo.

El parte de guerra de este martes ha sido especialmente duro. Después de tres días, los depósitos de la ciudad se están quedando sin el agua que tenían almacenada. Como no hay electricidad, no pueden ser rellenados. Los vecinos, después de días aguantando los disparos y viendo cómo los tanques rusos se movían por las calles, están entrando en estado de pánico. Además, las desgracias tienen la poco honorable tendencia de producirse siempre encadenadas y por si una guerra no fuera suficiente, desde hace días mis tíos y mi primo están teniendo hasta 39 grados de fiebre, dolor de cabeza y garganta. Si estuvieran aquí les diría que se hicieran un test de farmacia porque parece covid. Estando allí, no tiene ningún sentido: las farmacias están cerradas porque ya hace días que se les agotó hasta el paracetamol.

La posibilidad de escapar del bloqueo se ha extinguido como la llama débil de una vela. Con la ciudad rodeada y el avance de los soldados en mortíferas columnas imparables y de longitud kilométrica, nadie se atreve a subirse a un coche para tratar de huir. Estar sin luz e internet tensa aún más la situación porque lo único que conoces son los tanques que ves por la calle de tu ciudad, los disparos que oyes a ráfagas, los bombardeos nocturnos y las sirenas antiaéreas, si las hay. No sabes si Ucrania sigue aguantando o ha caído ya. No sabes si la ciudad de al lado es más segura que la tuya o está completamente en ruinas.

En el sexto día de la guerra, se agotan las certezas. Aunque una se dibuja cada vez más clara: las ciudades pequeñas y pueblos ucranios no han resultado ser santuarios de seguridad sino ratoneras. Es imposible estar a salvo en un país en guerra total. Si mi tía ha asumido el papel de trasladarnos la información diaria desde el frente, mi tío ha decidido, no sé si por valentía o por haber perdido cualquier esperanza en la vida, salir una vez al día por agua o para ver cómo se encuentra mi abuela, alojada en un piso en la otra punta de la ciudad. Después de huir de Mariupol el día uno de la guerra con un par de garrafas de agua, todo lo que tenían en el frigorífico y una bolsa con ropa interior, consiguieron 20 litros de gasolina. Ese mismo día, las gasolineras se quedaron desabastecidas y ahora mismo es imposible repostar el coche.

Sin luz, los electrodomésticos que usamos a diario se convierten en objetos absolutamente inservibles. No existe la posibilidad de darte una ducha, hacerte un café y luego comerte un yogur del frigorífico. Mi familia ha empezado a salar la carne que tenían para que no se eche a perder y poder comer algo. Jamás pensé que llegaría a escribir una frase así en 2022. Jamás pensé que un día estaría escribiendo sobre el hecho de que mi familia está pasando hambre y frío en Europa mientras se esconden en pasillos, sótanos y bañeras de los misiles rusos.

Amid growing pressure from rights groups, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, Michelle Bachelet, will update the 49th session of the Human Rights Council on March 7 on her efforts to assess the situation in Xinjiang, a spokesperson from her office told VOA.

In recent weeks, rights activists and U.S. politicians have been pressuring Bachelet to release a report on human rights in Xinjiang, a region in northwest China that is home to Uyghurs who are Muslim and a minority group.

Mainly Western countries, including the United States, and rights organizations accuse China of human rights violations, including forced sterilization of Uyghur women, torture, forced labor and the detention of more than 1 million Uyghurs and other Turkic groups in internment camps in Xinjiang. The U.S. government has described the violations as genocide and crimes against humanity.

The push for the release of the report comes after years of unsuccessful efforts by Bachelet’s office to negotiate the terms of a visit to Xinjiang to assess the human rights situation there.

In a video speech to the 49th United Nations Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva on Monday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said, “The door of Xinjiang is open, and we welcome people from all countries to visit Xinjiang and have exchanges.”

He went on to refute allegations of abuse and said, “The so-called genocide, forced labor and religious repression, are lies that are completely fabricated.”
China says the facilities in Xinjiang are only vocational training centers – and that Beijing’s Xinjiang policies are aimed at fighting extremism, terrorism and separatism.

While discussions between Bachelet’s office and Beijing are ongoing, “the parameters for a visit will have to be such that the High Commissioner has unfettered, meaningful access, including unsupervised interviews with civil society,” the high commissioner’s spokesperson, Liz Throssell, told VOA in an email.

Doubtful Uyghurs

Uyghurs’ rights groups are doubtful there will be changes to the status quo.
“We don’t expect the visit will take place soon, given that the high commissioner has failed to reach an agreement with the government of China for the past three years,” said Zumretay Arkin, program and advocacy manager at the Munich-based World Uyghur Congress.

A Uyghur government official in Xinjiang’s capital, Urumqi, told VOA that for any Uyghur “to be able to speak [freely] and tell what is happening, they [would] have to be out” of China.

“There’s a tragedy in every [Uyghur] family, at least someone has disappeared without a trace. But I can’t tell you in detail,” the Uyghur official who requested anonymity for his safety said. “No one is calm. Every family is weeping over someone.”

Abdulhakim Idris, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Uyghur Studies, accuses Bachelet of being mostly passive on Uyghur human rights since she assumed her position in September 2018.

“These are not only my words; even her official told us that she had been disregarding the reports and documents detailing Uyghur human rights” in China, Idris told VOA.

Idris said that in late 2018, he and other Uyghur rights activists met a Bachelet office staffer in Geneva who was working on the China human rights issue.
“We were told that when reports and documents got into her office, the reports they had submitted would be ignored,” Idris said.

“Every year Uyghurs hoped that on behalf of the U.N., Bachelet would say something about the Uyghurs’ dire human rights situation,” Idris said. “All these years, Bachelet had been careful not to anger China, that’s why she has been delaying this urgent report.”

In an email, Bachelet’s office told VOA the accusations are false and that since allegations of “human rights violations in Xinjiang emerged, the U.N. Human Rights Office has been consistently gathering, documenting and analyzing the information that has come to our attention.” Bachelet’s office also said she has been working on visiting Xinjiang “based on meaningful access” while continuing to monitor the situation and assess the situation there remotely.

Last September, Bachelet expressed regret at not making any progress on her “efforts to seek meaningful access to the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region” to probe human rights.

“In the meantime, my office is finalizing its assessment of the available information on allegations of serious human rights violations in that region, with a view to making it public,” Bachelet said at the opening of the Human Rights Council in September in Geneva.

In December, after an unofficial tribunal in London said that China has “committed genocide and crimes against humanity and torture against Uyghurs, Kazakh and other ethnic minority citizens” in Xinjiang, a spokesperson for the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, Rupert Colville, said that Bachelet had hoped to publish the report on Xinjiang in the coming weeks.

Adrian Zenz is director and senior fellow of China studies at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in Washington. Zenz said the only way to make genuine progress on documenting China’s actions would be to take Uyghurs out of Xinjiang for completely unsupervised conversations with U.N. officials.

However, if it is a visit as suggested by Wang, Beijing will “closely control what people see on the ground, and that’s all the more because actually a fairly substantial number of internment camps have been securitized or closed down,” Zenz told VOA. “People have been shifted into forced labor or sentenced to long-term prisons.”
