Hong Kong denies involvement in disappearance of Uyghur student

Hong Kong denies Amnesty International's accusation that a Uyghur student disappeared after being interrogated at the airport, stating that government records show that he had not entered or been refused entry to the city. The government condemned Amnesty's "groundless and unfounded remarks" and requested an apology from the group. Uyghur activists abroad criticized Hong Kong's denial of its role in the student's whereabouts. The United Nations and human rights groups accuse China of detaining a million or more Uyghurs and members of other predominantly Muslim groups in camps where many have said they were tortured, sexually assaulted and forced to abandon their language and religion.
