The Uyghur genocide is deeply integrated into the Chinese economy. We know from previous BBC reports that as well as forced labour in factories half a million are used as slaves in cotton fields.

The UN's report has found that arbitrary detention in the Uyghur homeland may constitute crimes against humanity.

Many thanks to Sir Jeffery Nice for taking on this dramatic challenge, this Uyghur tribunal is crucial to bring judgement to the CCP's treatment against my people as we believe it is genocidal at every level. We hope that the justice we having been longing for will be achieved.
This is exciting and important news. If the UN route to genocide determination is blocked, we have to find others ways.

Disney's Mulan film credits include a special thank you to the Turpan Public Security Bureau (PSB), a Uyghur region where the movie was filmed sometime after 2015, meaning likely between 2016-18, when Uyghur mass detentions were ongoing. Gives me a whole new perspective on it.

I was born and brought up under the CCP regime with total lies and deceit, which was enforced upon the people has now reached such proportions that the Wang Yi himself no longer knows what is true or untrue. It is breathtaking to hear him continuously lying so shamelessly!
The mendacity, the inhumanity, the deceit, the outright bare-faced lies of the Chinese Communist Party's foreign minister Wang Yi are breathtaking, even by the regime's standards 👇

Emotionally It was not easy to translate such horrific details of torture inflicted upon my beautiful innocent people. I felt I died many times from thoughts about the suffering of others.
"They hung me up for hours, and they beat me."
This Uyghur man claims he was tortured by police before he was sent to a 're-education camp' in China

Interpreting Witness Statements from the Uyghur Genocide

Just as Hong Kongers have stood with us, we Uyghurs stand in solidarity with them. We understand the grave implications of transnational repression. Together, we demand justice and respect for human rights and call upon their governments to protect the 8 Hong Kong activists.
Persecuted Hong Kong human rights defenders
@nathanlawkc

@finnlau_cd

It would be a strong expression of solidarity and support if
@JamesCleverly
were to make that meeting happen now.
