Freedom House has published an article shedding light on the case of Abdulhakim Idris, Executive Director of the Center for Uyghur Studies, who was detained and deported from Malaysia in March 2026 under pressure linked to the Chinese government. The article highlights Idris’s long-standing advocacy for Uyghur human rights, China’s expanding campaign of transnational repression targeting Uyghur activists abroad, and the broader efforts by Beijing to silence critics beyond its borders. It also examines the intimidation, surveillance, and restrictions faced by Uyghurs in exile, framing the incident as part of a wider global pattern of repression against the Uyghur diaspora.
