Chinese authorities accused of intimidating Uyghurs in Australia

One of the Australian Uyghurs, Dawud*, said he first received contact from his family in Xinjiang in September 2017, asking him to return to China or explain to the police why he could not go back. In response to questions, China’s foreign ministry referred the ABC to a government statement about terrorism, extremism and human rights protection in Xinjiang. Mr Majid said the Australian Government needed to increase pressure on China about the human rights situation in Xinjiang.
