China’s treatment of Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) meets international legal definitions of “crimes against humanity” and merits a U.N. inquiry, sanctions and efforts to prosecute responsible officials, human rights researchers said in a report Monday.
“Since at least 2014, the Chinese government has subjected Turkic Muslims to various crimes against humanity, including mass arbitrary detention, torture and deaths in detention, and enforced disappearances,” said Human Rights Watch and the Stanford Law School Human Rights & Conflict Resolution Clinic.
Researchers evaluated Chinese practices toward Turkic Muslims – mostly Uyghurs, but also Kazakhs and Kyrgyz – against crimes against humanity criteria under Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, the treaty that set up the International Criminal Court (ICC), and came into force into 2002.
