Urumqi: Filled with one-sided voices and fabricated stories of so-called “victims” that are hard to verify, the latest farce that tries to label China for committing “genocide” in its Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region – the “Uyghur Tribunal” – began its “hearing” in London on Friday. Being neither a legitimate legal body nor having the authority to review “genocide” accusations against a country, the “tribunal” only exposes the malicious purpose of anti-China forces behind the event, analysts said.
Qelbinur Sidik, the first so-called victim from China’s Xinjiang, sat in front of a number of “counsels” and “experts,” telling her stories of being a “teacher” in the re-education center and “witnessing” almost all “crimes” that seem to fit the malicious imaginations of the West to the training centers in Xinjiang, from torturing to forced sterilization–and, of course, death.
With pictures of satellite images of “re-education” centers waiting for her to display and tissues putting ahead of Qelbinur’s “touching” narration, reasonable people will question “If people are strictly oppressed in the centers as Qelbinur claimed, how could she see all the torturing?”
Omir Bekali, another “victim,” brought a chain to the “hearing” and said [through translation] that it was the chain that was used on him in Xinjiang for seven months. But later after the chair questioned how he got the chain, Omir said he bought it online.
Like Qelbinur and Omir, many “victims” came to the Friday “tribunal” with their stories full of loopholes and contradictions. At a press conference on May 25, the Xinjiang regional government exposed the lies of these “victims.”
Established in September 2020 in the UK upon request of the World Uyghur Congress (WUC), a US-funded secessionist network, the “Uyghur Tribunal” is a “pseudo” one that follows the presumption of guilt and serves anti-China forces’ smears on Xinjiang, analysts said.
The “tribunal” is not a legitimate legal body nor does it have the right to review “genocide” accusations, Zhu Ying, deputy director of the National Human Rights Education and Training Base of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, told the Global Times.
