The so-called final ruling by the "Uyghur Tribunal" is extremely vile in nature, extremely despicable in practice and of extremely dirty means and it can be called the largest framed case in human history and the "decree absolute" is worthless, the spokesperson of China's Xinjiang regional government said in a statement on Friday after the fake tribunal "ruled" that China "committed genocide" in its Xinjiang region. 

This "trial" based on the "presumption of guilt" is a serious violation to the order of international law and a serious provocation to the 25 million people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region strongly condemns and firmly opposes this, said the regional spokesperson. 

On Thursday, the so-called tribunal ruled that China "committed genocide" against Uygurs and other ethnic minorities in its western Xinjiang region.

The spokesperson of the Xinjiang regional government said in the statement that the establishment of the "Uyghur tribunal" is not in line with international law and the judicial convention of international crime; it has no basis or effect in international law, and it has no right to perform a "trial."

The "tribunal" has a preset position, fabricates evidence and tries to deceive the world, which is a sheer violation of law and human rights. The participants of the "tribunal" included an "expert" in indiscriminate lawsuits of human rights, an "academic rogue" who fabricated lies related to Xinjiang, an "actor" cultivated by anti-China forces, and a criminal engaged in separatist and terrorist activities. The so-called trial initiated by such a group of swindlers will only make the world more aware of their hideous features, said the spokesperson. 

Soon after the "judgement" being delivered by the "Uyghur Tribunal" on Thursday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a statement that it is nothing but a political farce staged by a handful of contemptible individuals.

The "Uyghur Tribunal" hired liars to make false statements and falsify evidence, in an attempt to craft a political tool to disrupt Xinjiang and smear China. This so-called "tribunal" is completely void of any legal basis and has no credibility at all, the FM spokesperson said.

"The malicious intention of its previous anti-China activities has been laid bare by facts and deplored by perceptive people in the international community," the spokesperson said, noting that the so-called final verdict made by such a machine churning out lies is just a political farce performed by clowns, according to the statement. 

"Lies remain lies, no matter how many times they are repeated. Lies cannot cover up facts and truth, cheat the international community, still less stop the historical trend of stability, development and prosperity in China's Xinjiang," the FM spokesperson said, noting that such a stunt is doomed to be swept into the trash can and spurned by people.

On the same day, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the UK also released a statement saying that the so-called "Uyghur Tribunal" is a fake tribunal funded by the terrorist secessionist organization "World Uyghur Congress" and carried out by a small group of anti-China secessionists as a political tool for swindling. 

The tribunal is not a legal body, but a fake court without any legal power. The "tribunal" and its so-called verdict are nothing more than a poor performance by anti-China secessionists for their own amusement, and no rational person with a conscience can be deceived by them, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy noted. 

According to the spokesperson, Xinjiang-related issues are not about religion, ethnicity or human rights at all, but about combating violence, terrorism, separatism and extremism.
