‘Uyghur Tribunal’ hears evidence of alleged China abuses
Al Jazeera
Dozens to give testimony to people’s tribunal in London, which China has dismissed as a ‘clumsy public opinion show’.
A London-based people’s tribunal investigating whether China’s treatment of its minority Uighur population amounts to genocide has begun hearing evidence from witnesses. The “Uyghur Tribunal” has no state backing and any judgement will not be binding on any government, but it has drawn a furious response from Beijing, which branded the hearings a “machine producing lies”. The first hearings take place over four days, from Friday to Monday and are expected to draw dozens of witnesses. A second set is expected in September.
