So I checked it out... never directly states where the data is from ("PRC state media and data", "party documents and data reportedly obtained from local public security bureaus in Xinjiang", it continues to be this vague never specific throughout), most of the dates end in 2021/2022 (for the latter e.g. "the last date for which authorities have issued such reports", so that doesn't show it hasn't ended in 2021)
The closest thing you have in there is
Are there other, better, sources?
Two years after Xinjiang findings, UN reports ‘limited access to information’, ‘reprisals’ against activists | ISHR https://search.app/rTPVgDbwvYQ9ozAEA
China is refusing to allow an investigation. That's a presumption of guilt.
I never heard of the ISHR. They seem to be cagey about their funding sources 🤔
The actual UN OHCHR report is a one-pager that provides no detail or evidence to back up its mention of “limited access” and “fear of reprisals”: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-briefing-notes/2024/08/china-update-work-un-human-rights-office
Weak tea.
ETA: Looking deeper, the funding seems to mostly come from NATO & NATO “partner” governments and the Ford Foundation.
