Uyghur’s Afraid To Return To China
13 October, 2011
Refugee Uyghur’s are afraid to return to China. The pressure from the Netherlands on Uyghur’s to return is intense. Uyghurs who apply for asylum in this country have their applications denied more than once. Their biggest fear is that if forced to return to China they will encounter prosecution from Chinese government or worst vanish like many other Uyghur refugees. One refugee claims he’s afraid to go back because he doesn’t want to be tortured by Chinese police. As of now Uyghur’s are divided into two camps. The open camp has no restriction amongst Uyghur’s but the closed camp is for those who are forced to return to China. A Netherlands based translator reports that currently there are more people living in the closed camp.
