Now Sir Geoffrey Nice making clear that the work of Etham Gutman has not been relied upon by the Tribunal. Significant. Gutman’s work includes speculation about organ harvesting and crematoria.

Sir Geoffrey now outlining the importance of the documents leaked to the Tribunal analysed by @adrianzenz and reviewed by @ReasonablyRagin and @JimMillward Goes on to criticise governments for refusing to participate. Especially the United States, given their determination.

Makes clear that the Tribunal is working to the highest criminal standard: proof beyond reasonable doubt. Sir Geoffrey also explaining the state of mind of perpetrators.

Returning to the question of whether “there was a plan”. Before the leak, a conclusion had already been reached that a vast operation of state repression could not be possible without authorisation at the highest levels. This conclusion was merely reinforced by the leak.

Citing the #XinjiangPapers Sir Geoffrey places responsibility squarely in the lap of Xi Jinping. “Initiated and sustained by the Party Secretary”.

Tribunal “is satisfied” that the policies of repression could not have happened without explicit authorisation “from the very top” Is satisfied: - sexual violence is widespread - circa 16k mosques desecrated - mass torture happening - built an very extensive prison network

Significant. Tribunal “is satisfied” that the PRC is implementing population optimisation program with the long term aim of reducing the minority population. Biggest hint so far that the Tribunal may reach a genocide determination.

Overall strategy of population optimising according to Tribunal has three main strands: - population dilution - transfer out of region - reduction of birth rates Hundreds of thousands of people affected at a minimum.
