Uyghur father pleads for information on his son who went missing since 'Chinese invasion'

Uyghur man Abdurahman Hasan posted on Twitter: "I miss my son Paizullah, he was at the age of two and a half when I left. Today he is six and a half years old, I don't know where is he and who is raising him. Why did this tragedy happen? I think the answer is very simple, due to the Chinese invasion."

He has not been able to contact his family after he left China for Turkey, reported Uyghur Freedoms Herald as quoted by ANI.

He left China in January 2017 to Turkey when the Beijing-led administration in Xinjiang began to hunt down the influential Uyghur public figures, the Indian news agency reported.

In his earlier tweet, he had said his wife was raped  by the “Chinese invaders” in the concentration camp that has been setup by the Chinese government.

"My son's mother was raped by the Chinese invaders in the camp 2017.9. Caught in the moon," he tweeted.

Who are Uyghur Muslims?

Uyghur Muslims are a Turkic minority ethnic group originating from and culturally affiliated with the general region of Central and East Asia. It is now widely publicized that their human rights are crushed by China and they were sent to "re-education camps" by the communist regime in Beijing.

The Uyghurs are recognized as native to the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China.

An American representative at the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination said in 2018 that the committee had received many credible reports that 1 million ethnic Uyghurs in China have been held in "re-education camps" by the Chinese authorities.
