A Foreign Ministry spokesman said the allegations were "untrue and slanderous" and claimed that China had fulfilled the obligations set out in the UN convention against torture. The UN Committee against Torture released a report on Friday that accuses China of widespread use of torture and ill treatment of suspects in police custody.
