Maybe it's just late and I'm too tired but you mentioned the UN saying it had a report but your link talks about a Canadian newspaper issuing a correction in 2006, am I missing how they are related?
What evidence?
The UN says it has "credible reports." There's absolutely no information about the contents of these reports or where they came from -- only a blind assertion that they exist.
Meanwhile China has always been transparent about what is happening in Xinjiang and makes little attempt to hide it. The public ceremonies and mandatory educational courses are public -- that's kinda the point.
The only thing remarkable here is that after the Iraq War, after the endless propaganda effort against Iran (remember all the breathless reporting about Iran forcing non-Muslims to wear badges [1]?) so many people are still dumb enough to accept this sort of "reporting" without any verifiable, documentary evidence let alone actual first-hand witness accounts.
