Written by Owen Churchill, South China Morning Post.
- Forced birth control and sterilisation policies targeting Uygurs would lead to ‘partial destruction’ of the ethnic group, the inquiry chief says
- The Uygur Tribunal also concluded that crimes against humanity were committed, including the torture and rape of some held in detention centres
An independent panel set up in Britain to examine China’s crackdown against Uygurs and other ethnic minority groups ruled on Thursday that the Chinese government’s actions in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region constituted genocide.
