The East Turkestan Information Center (ETIC) is a group affiliated with the East Turkestan independence movement. It was founded in Munich, Germany in 1996, and has an office in Washington, D.C.[1]
The ETIC publishes reports on 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]
The ETIC's head, Abdujelil Karakash was quoted by the UNHCR saying:[2]

We have no connection with terrorists. Actually, China itself is a terrorist. It occupied our territory, our soil, our riches. Every day, it sends about 30,000 Chinese to East Turkestan, and 100 percent of them stay there.
— Abdujelil Karakash
