China recruits Uyghurs to spy on their own while abroad: Report

Xinjiang : China’s crackdown on Uyghurs and other minorities have had devastating consequences within its borders. Reports have now emerged that members of the Uyghur community are being forced by Beijing authorities to spy on their own while abroad.
According to DW News, this ploy by the Chinese Communist Party expands China’s ability to threaten those members of the minority community who speak out against the atrocities.
The news outlet met up with a person Eysa Imin who was asked by the Chinese Security to spy on Uyghurs abroad. This person went to Germany where he was awaiting the outcome of his asylum application but the story begins in Xinjiang, his hometown.
In 2015, when he returned from Malaysia to Xinjiang, he was stopped at the airport and was taken into a detention centre.
“On arrival at the airport, I was told to wait at passport control until everybody was gone. Then, two policemen pulled my jacket over my head so I could not see anything. They put me into a car and drove me away,” Imin, a person who was captured by Chinese security told DW.
He added that he was taken into a room and tied his arms and legs to a metal table. “They tightened the cuffs until I could not move. I was in this position for two days,” he said.
