China used ETIM’s designation as terrorist group for genocide of Uyghurs: Human rights group
Campaign for Uyghurs (CFU), a non-profit human rights organization, has said that China used the designation of East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) as a terrorist organization for the genocide of the Uyghurs and people have been falsely linked to the ETIM movement for expressing their ethnic identity and religious beliefs.CFU’s remarks came as it hailed the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s decision to revoke the designation of ETIM from its terrorist list after nearly two decades that has led to the weakening of China’s anti-terror pretext for crackdown on Uyghurs in Xinjiang.“The integrity of this decision speaks volumes, and as the leadership of the Chinese regime has changed to a softer tone as it tries to suck up to what it views as the sure next US administration,” the CFU said
