In late 2019, China said all people in the camps had “graduated.”In June 2020, the World Uyghur Congress asked Nice to set up an independent tribunal to investigate the accusations.

The Munich-based WUC, which represents the interests of Uyghurs in Xinjiang and around the world, on Thursday welcomed the tribunal’s judgment. In a statement on Thursday, China’s foreign ministry dismissed the WUC as a separatist organization under the control and funding of anti-China forces in the United States and the West.

“This so-called ‘court’ has no legal credentials nor any credibility,” a ministry spokesperson said, describing the testimony given as false and the final judgment as a “political farce performed by a few clowns.”“Lies cannot conceal the truth, cannot deceive the international community nor stop the historic course of…Xinjiang’s stability, development and prosperity,” the ministry spokesperson said of the Uyghur tribunal.
