One of the targets of #Beijing’s latest campaign to discredit is @Alfred_Uyghur or Arafat, as his father was shown in a video promising to “change himself and receive the leniency of the party.” https://www.google.com.tw/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idINKBN2BW16P">https://www.google.com.tw/amp/s/mob... https://twitter.com/alfred_uyghur/status/1380688601583915009">https://twitter.com/alfred_uy...

He has been demanding #China to share the whereabouts of his father but there were no words about that until his father appeared in that video. His case is a string of such attempt to discredit overseas #Uyghurs’ activism over the last few years.

Almost a year ago, I wrote about the case of @SamiraImin’s father, who is a prominent scholar and publisher in #Xinjiang. He resurfaced in a video published by Chinese state media to refute her activism while demanding her to return to #China. https://www.google.com.tw/amp/s/amp.dw.com/en/imprisoned-uighur-professors-release-shows-how-beijing-forces-loyalty/a-53524800">https://www.google.com.tw/amp/s/amp...

Many #Uyghurs abroad view the latest wave of videos from #China with mixed feelings, as some of them think this proves that their activism works but on the other hand, those whose family members have not resurfaced, like @RayhanAsat and @akida_p, are wondering if ...

... the same propaganda will be used against Rayhan’s missing brother Ekpar and Akida’s missing mother Rahile Dawut, a prominent #Uyghur scholar.
