The Uyghur Victims Data Center is a vital repository dedicated to documenting and raising awareness about the human rights abuses and genocidal practices faced by Uyghur individuals in their homeland and those experiencing repression outside China. Established by Tahir Imin in May 2024, this initiative is essential for recording and archiving visual evidence of the ongoing Uyghur genocide.

In its operations, the Uyghur Victims Data Center adheres to the principles of accuracy, authenticity, consent, privacy, respect, sensitivity, and confidentiality. Utilizing robust professional verification methods in open-source investigation, the center ensures that all collected testimonies, videos, and other evidence are credible.

To maintain high standards of professionalism, the center follows strict documentation guidelines, including key video metadata elements such as title, description, original text and translation, creator/speaker information, content category, recording date, source, original platform, language, verification status, and rights and permissions.

Committed to transparency and collaboration, the Uyghur Victims Data Center encourages responsible sharing of materials while emphasizing the importance of attribution. Through these efforts, the center aims to amplify the voices of Uyghur victims and contribute significantly to global human rights advocacy. By providing a platform for visual evidence and factual documentation, it seeks accountability and justice on an international scale, ensuring that the stories of those who have endured significant hardships in East Turkistan, also known as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, are not forgotten.
