What do Uyghurs believe, though?

Everyone we spoke with expressed happiness that the report had been released, as they had worried it would not due to delays.

The report was the “basic least” that could be expected from the international community, they emphasised, and this was just the beginning.

When the study was made public, Mehray Mezensof, a Uyghur lady from Melbourne, Australia, had a “great pang of relief.”

Genocide wasn’t mentioned in the study, she said. “I feel the Chinese government is perpetrating genocide against my group. That is exactly what is occurring,” the speaker said.

She added: “The UN’s publication of this report took a very long time. Five years is a long time, particularly for someone who is suffering like me. It is difficult to let even a day or an hour pass.”

She stated, “The world community and nations cannot overlook this any longer. “If they do nothing, that would be intentional complicity,”
