Authorities and individuals from Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region have exposed that the Uyghur Tribunal, which was established via collusion of some self-claimed human rights groups and some Western forces, is an anti-China, politically driven clique in nature, and its hearing, which is scheduled for June 4-7, is nothing but a case of recruiting actors in a farce to repeat old lies.
The tribunal was established in September 2020 in the UK upon request of the World Uygur Congress (WUC), which claimed to work for human rights but was proven to be a US-funded secessionist network. Geoffrey Nice, a British barrister, was founder and chair of the tribunal.
