Exhibit shows progress of human rights in Xinjiang

Romain Perez, a member of the secretariat of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, was taking a break on Friday morning when he stopped in a hall of the UN Geneva Office to see an exhibition about human rights development and other progress in China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

The 84 photos on display covered a wide range of subjects - from people's daily lives, cultural diversity, freedom of religion and ethnic unity to grassroots democracy, economic modernization and infrastructure upgrades.

Perez was absorbed by several photos of bullet trains, livestock and manufacturing.
