The year 2016 saw no relief in terms of the continued harassment of Uyghurs living in East Turkestan (officially the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China). The Communist Party of China (CPC) extended its outright assault by effectively criminalising even the most basic aspects of Uyghur life, and in doing so violating human rights and fundamental freedoms guaranteed under international law.
