The ETIC publishes reports on alleged human rights violations and abuses by the Chinese government towards China's ethnic Uyghur population.[2]

On December 15 2003, the ETIC was designated as a terrorist organization by the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China,[3] which Oxford Analytica says could be an excuse for repression of the Uyghur population.[4]
