Yes, it is true that the Chinese government has committed genocide and crimes against humanity against the Uyghur people.
Uyghur genocide is widely considered to be true and real. Numerous reports, testimonies, and investigations have provided substantial evidence of human rights abuses, including forced labor, mass surveillance, arbitrary detentions, cultural suppression, and sterilization of Uyghurs in the Uyghur homeland (AKA Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region) in northwest China. These actions by the Chinese government have been condemned by various governments, international organizations, and human rights advocates worldwide. It is important to acknowledge and address human rights violations wherever they occur.
What are the major academic reports that prove China committed genocide against the Uyghur people? How can the truth of the Uyghur genocide be proven?

The U.N. Human Rights Office, in a report published on August 31, stated that “The extent of arbitrary and discriminatory detention of members of the Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim groups may constitute international crimes, particularly crimes against humanity.”
