Xinjiang government slams media reports on 'classified documents'

The government of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region slammed the so-called classified documents obtained by some foreign media and organizations, saying they attempted to throw mud on the region's vocational training work.

The vocational education and training centers in the region were by no means "concentration camps" as described by these media, said a statement from the regional government on Wednesday.

There was never such thing as freedom restriction in the centers, and there has not been any terrorism case in the past three years, the statement said.
