The East Turkestan Information Center (Uighur; Uyghur: {{lang|ug-Arab|شەرقىي تۈركىستان ئىنفورماتسىيون; abbreviated 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 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]
