China’s Treatment of Uyghurs Amounts to Genocide, U.K.-Based Panel Finds

HONG KONG—An impartial panel wrapped up its yearlong examination of China’s therapy of Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, concluding that China’s guidelines in the region amounted to a sort of genocide.

The Uyghur Tribunal, a U.K.-based mostly panel of lawyers, lecturers and activists, claimed Thursday it identified that the Chinese governing administration, via guidelines like what it described as forced birth manage and sterilizations, intends to partially ruin the predominantly Muslim Uyghur neighborhood and its way of existence and that Chinese President Xi Jinping and other senior officers bore “primary obligation for functions in Xinjiang.”
