Thousands of Uighurs fleeing atrocities in China have been forcibly returned in a campaign of abductions waged by Chinese agents, the International Criminal Court will be told today.

Lawyers for Uighur exiles will file new evidence of forced disappearances and returns to the ICC as part of an effort to hold President Xi accountable on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity.

Because China is not a state party to the ICC, the court does not have jurisdiction to investigate crimes perpetrated in Xinjiang, where more than one million Muslim Uighurs have been incarcerated and subjected to torture, starvation, rape and enslavement.
