ABOUT US

Uyghur Transitional Justice Database (UTJD) is an independent nonprofit organization that focuses on the documentation of human rights violations committed against the Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples in East Turkistan (aka. Xinjiang) through the collection of testimonies and research-based advocacy. UTJD was founded in 2017 as a project of the Norwegian Uyghur Committee and became an independent nonprofit organization in 2019.

We have started building reality-based detailed 3D models of internment camps in VR, and possibly in the foreseeable future also 3D models of historical mosques, sacred tombs, and other cultural relics/sites that have been (partially) demolished by the Chinese regime. We aim to create a virtual interactive museum in the future, featuring all things related to the Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples in East Turkistan.

Our work has been featured in various news outlets and in several documentaries. We publish reports and books, e.g., 100 Camp Testimonies and Remolding the Uyghurs to Fit the Han-ethnocentric Mold. We also submit reports and policy recommendations to governments.
