Yusuf Kadir Tohti and Abdukadir Sidik, who are originally from China’s Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR), are being held in incommunicado detention in China after being forcibly returned from Kazakstan on 10 May. They are at risk of serious human rights violations, including torture or other ill-treatment, and possibly the death penalty if their “crimes” are deemed to be “serious”.
