It states "the close involvement of Xi Jinping" in the targeting of Uighurs would support a "plausible" case of genocide against him.
It says: "On the basis of the evidence we have seen, this Opinion concludes that there is a very credible case that acts carried out by the Chinese government against the Uighur people in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region amount to crimes against humanity and the crime of genocide."
