Amnesty criticized by Hong Kong for Uyghur man disappearance claim.

Hong Kong government has condemned Amnesty International for alleging that a Uyghur man had gone missing after he arrived at the city’s airport. Amnesty claimed that Abuduwaili Abudureheman, born in China’s northwestern region of Xinjiang, travelled from South Korea to Hong Kong on May 10 to visit a friend and had not been heard from since. The Hong Kong government said Amnesty’s claims were “groundless and unfounded” and “slandered the human rights situation” in the city. Amnesty told AFP in response that the group “will remain concerned for (Abuduwaili’s) safety” and that his friend is still unable to contact him.
