The move follows BBC report detailing accounts of alleged torture and sexual violence against Uighur women.

Others say it has more to do with the fact that a week ago the United Kingdom's own news regulator, The National Radio and Television Administration, revoked the license of Chinese state owned broadcaster, China Global Television Network (CGTN) for violating the UK Law on state-backed ownership.
