Do you happen to remember a Twitter handle? I bet one could use a single one of them to discover a whole network of these.

I don't, but they're easy to spot because they look really leftist and they often post about the left-wing news of the moment while at the same time downplaying Uighur atrocities. They often mostly retweet and are poor in communication when they comment. Here's one example:
https://twitter.com/Weed1_ch (mostly retweets, tweets are usually quote tweets with one word like "Xinjiang?" attached)
When this account actually comments, it barely makes sense:

And this strange Palestinian liberation + Uyghur genocide denial is hallmark of China (who has to straddle both positions due to the geopolitics of opposing the US).

Did you just compared treatment of Uyghurs in China with Kashmiri/Muslims in India ?
Last I checked Indian govt is not holding minority in reeducation camps or removing every trace of cultural heritage.

One can note certain rhetorical similarities without holding that in every aspect China and India are doing the same thing.

What is India doing ?
You can see the parallels in how both talk about their hated minorities (Uyghurs and Kashmiris/Muslims)
My favorite was a recent Twitter account with a teenage profile picture, she/they pronouns, BLM, proud feminist, and TRUMP2020 all in the bio, and all it did was claim that Uyghurs are really being educated and that the decline in birth rates among Uyghurs by ~50% in one year, according to Chinese gov't statistics is just because they are being liberated, and basically all sorts of other genocide denial.
