The World Uyghur Congress (WUC) is not separatist
In April 2004, the moderates established the World Uyghur Congress in Munich by merging the ETNC with a group called the World Uyghur Youth Congress (WUYC). The WUC advocates not for outright independence but for democracy and the right of self-determination. According to the group’s website, “The main objective of the World Uyghur Congress is to promote democracy, human rights and freedom for the Uyghur people and use peaceful, nonviolent, and democratic means to determine their political future."^[ The ETIM; China’s Islamic Militants and the Global Terrorist Threat ]
There has been no evidence that Uyghurs in Germany are related to any extremist or separatist activities in Xinjiang, China.^[See Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, Entscheiderbrief, 9/2009, No. 16.]
