Unfortunately a lot of this stuff is compiled in a variety of place by anti-imperialist journos. And libs will try to find a way to reject them personally, so just a heads up. They'll be like, "Max Blumenthal went on RT so he's a Russian asset!"
I think a good starting place is the venerable Qiao Collective: https://www.qiaocollective.com/en/education/xinjiang. You can treat it like a middle schooler uses Wikipedia for a book report: cite their citations. So, for example, you could cite this for establishing that Kanat left China in 1971), taking a fairly conspicuous path through Afghanistan and then Turkey.
Also, these "East Turkestan" separatist types are actually pretty open about a lot of their connections. WUC touts Kanat as being senior editor with Radio Free Asia for Uyghurs for about a decade: https://www.uyghurcongress.org/en/staff/omer-kanat/

You can also cite the DOD "terror list" which conspicuously removed ETIM from it at the end of last year.
Yes yes yes. And the 2018 video of a DoD guy describing ETIM engaging in terrorism.
