This question was answered on 23rd June 2021

We have serious concerns about gross violations of human rights occurring in Xinjiang and welcome any work that is rigorous, balanced and raises awareness of the situation faced by Uyghurs and other minorities in China. We are following the work of the Uyghur Tribunal and remain in contact with Sir Geoffrey Nice. We will study any resulting report carefully.
