Fresh fears have been raised about Britain becoming a 'dumping ground' for slave-made goods following an expansion of air cargo routes from China's Xinjiang region.
An analysis of air freight data showed routes are rapidly expanding between Xinjiang and more than a dozen European cities, including in the UK.
Xinjiang is where more than a million members of the Uighurs, a Muslim community, have been detained in camps and prisons, according to human rights groups.
There have also been mounting allegations of Uighurs being used as slave labour in the northwest region as part of human rights violations sanctioned by Beijing.
Research by the Uighur Human Rights Project (UHRP), found - since June last year - nine cargo companies have launch new air freight routes between Xinjiang and cities across the EU, UK and Switzerland.
