Questions Arise Over Reported Disappearance of Uyghur Student in Hong Kong

Human Rights Watch is revisiting a report on the disappearance of a Uyghur scholar after questions emerged about the accuracy of the information. The report, which was released in 2017, detailed the detention and disappearance of Rahile Dawut, a prominent scholar of Uyghur studies. The Chinese government has been accused of detaining and persecuting Uyghurs in Xinjiang, and the case of Dawut is seen as emblematic of the wider crackdown on the minority group.
