(CNN) It is typically a time where the great and good of the NBA showcase their unique skills to an assembled crowd of fans and A-list celebrities.

The World Uyghur Congress (WUC) wrote IOC ethics chief and former U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on February 26, stating that the IOC had “acted in breach of the Olympic Charter by failing to reconsider holding the 2022 Olympics in Beijing following verifiable evidence of genocide and crimes and humanity taking place” in Xinjiang’s Uyghur detention … [Read more...] about Uyghurs Take Beijing Games Boycott to Olympics Ethics Chief
