In response to the Star news report, WADAH urgently appeals to the Minister of
Home affairs not to extradite the Uighur political refugees. Uighur political
activists are being persecuted and unfairly treated in their homeland. These
refugees if extradited shall face oppressive measures and subject to
mistreatment.
The People’s Republic of China has embarked on rigorous policies
discriminating against Uighur Muslims and is actively pursuing programs that
suppresses freedom of religion and is persistently victimising religious
adherents. It has acted harshly against all dissidents and opponents.
Previous Uighur refugees deported to their country has faced severe
punishments devoid of fair trial.
Once again, WADAH pleads to the Minister to use his discretion and authority to
allow due process and prevent the expulsion of the Uighur political refugees.
