“The so-called Uygur Tribunal is a lie-maker that has nothing to do with the law or the truth, it’s another farce aimed at discrediting Xinjiang,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said on Thursday. His comments come as the organization plans yet another round of smearing campaigns against China’s Xinjiang policy in what it terms as a second hearing. Chaired by Geoffrey Nice, an infamous anti-China figure, the tribunal is largely funded by the World Uyghur Congress (WUC). On September 3, 2020, Geoffrey established a so-called independent people’s tribunal to investigate “ongoing atrocities and possible genocide” against the Uygurs, Kazakhs, and other Turkic Muslim populations.
