Genocide Watch Report Identifies ‘Extermination and Denial’ Stages in Uyghur Genocide
—————————-
A landmark report released by Genocide Watch has concluded that the Chinese government’s systemic campaign against Uyghur Muslims in East Turkistan (Xinjiang) has progressed to the final and most severe stages of genocide.

According to a press release from Justice For All’s Save Uyghur campaign on December 23, the international monitoring group found that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is currently operating within Stages 3, 8, 9, and 10 of the ten stages of genocide.

The report classifies the current situation as having reached the Extermination (Stage 9) and Denial (Stage 10) phases. According to the findings, “extermination” is evidenced by mass rape, coercive population control policies, and the systematic removal of Uyghur children from their families into state-run Mandarin-only institutions. “Denial” is manifested through the CCP’s ongoing efforts to frame these atrocities as “vocational training” or “counter-terrorism” while blocking independent international investigations.

Genocide Watch’s documentation reveals a wide-reaching apparatus of repression, including mass detention camps, forced political indoctrination, and the widespread destruction of mosques. The report further details a pervasive forced labor program and a total ban on the Uyghur language in public life. Arslan Hidayat, Team Lead of the Save Uyghur Campaign, stated that the report removes all ambiguity, characterizing the situation as a coordinated campaign to erase an entire people rather than a matter of domestic policy.

In response to these findings, the report issues several urgent recommendations for the international community. These include a total ban on imports produced through Uyghur forced labor, the enforcement of strict supply chain transparency, and a block on the export of surveillance and AI technologies used in the repression. Furthermore, it calls for expanded humanitarian protections and asylum for Uyghur refugees. Imam Abdul Malik Mujahid, President of Justice For All, warned that these stages represent a final warning to global governments to act before the evidence of erasure becomes irreversible.
