‘People’s Tribunal’ Probes Uighur Atrocities

A London-based “people’s tribunal” is investigating whether China’s alleged persecution of its Uighur minority amounts to genocide, with witnesses detailing mass torture, rape and other abuse. Hearings began on Friday and will continue until Monday. A second hearing could be scheduled in September. The jurors, comprising lawyers and human rights activists plan, to come out with a report in December on whether China is guilty of genocide.
