EU member states have agreed to impose sanctions on four Chinese officials and one entity over Beijing's crackdown on the Uighur minority, European diplomats said Wednesday.

The measures, to be confirmed by foreign ministers at a meeting on Monday, are part of a package of human rights sanctions, that will also see individuals in Russia, North Korea, Eritrea, South Sudan and Libya targeted, diplomats said.
