A Uyghur rights group’s legal challenge against the British government for not investigating the import of cotton produced in the Chinese region of Xinjiang was dismissed by a London court on Friday.
The World Uyghur Congress (WUC), an international organisation of exiled Uyghur groups, had taken legal action at London's High Court against Britain's Home Office, tax authority HMRC and the National Crime Agency.
Judge Ian Dove said in a written ruling that he had dismissed all of the WUC’s grounds of challenge.
