On Saturday 27th November at 1300 GMT, the Uyghur Tribunal will hold a third virtual hearing to introduce new evidence from expert witnesses Professor Ton Zwaan and Dr. Adrain Zenz, the Uyghur Tribunal website says.
The Uyghur Tribunal is an independent people’s court of justice launched in Great Britain in September 2020. It examines China’s human rights abuses against the Uyghur people and evaluates whether the violations constitute genocide under the Genocide Convention. The tribunal began its first series of hearings in June 2021, and the second set in September 2021.
