A secret prison in Dubai is a follower of China in which the Uighur is being held .. a previous prisoner reveals the scandal
Al -Dabour - A secret prison in Dubai, a follower of China, was revealed by a previous prisoner in a new Emirati scandal.It is known that the UAE has secret prisons for it outside the Emirates.But for the first time it reveals that Dubai also maintains secret prisons for Western countries on its soil, in which it helps them to eliminate Uighur Muslims.
In a report by the American Associated Press, published on Monday on the scandal of a secret prison in Dubai, it stated that China is running a secret prison in Dubai in which the Uighurs are being held, while it may be the first evidence that China is running the so -called "black site" outside its borders.The report stated that a Chinese young woman said that she had been detained with at least two Uighurs for eight days in a secret detention facility run by China in Dubai.
The 26 -year -old young woman, who escaped to avoid handing her over to China, told her fiancé was considered a dissident, the Associated Press that she was kidnapped from a hotel in Dubai and was detained by Chinese officials in a villa that was transferred to a prison, where she saw or heard other prisoners, both of them from the Uighur.
She said that she was interrogated and threatened with Chinese and forced to sign legal documents condemning her fiancée to harass her.She was finally released on June 8 and is now seeking to obtain asylum in the Netherlands.
While "black sites" are common in China, Wu's novel is the only known testimony of experts that Beijing created a site in another country.Such a site will reflect how China uses its international influence increasingly to detain or return the citizens you want from abroad, whether they are dissident or suspected of corruption or from ethnic minorities such as Uighur.
The Associated Press was unable to confirm or refute the Wu account independently, and was unable to determine the exact location of the "Black site".However, the correspondents saw and heard supportive evidence, including stamps on her passport, and a phone recording of a Chinese official asking questions, and text messages that she sent from prison to a priest who helps her and her fiancée.The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Dubai Police denied the story of the young woman.
Black sites are secret prisons where prisoners are not generally accused of committing a crime and have no legal way, without a guarantee or a court order.Many in China are used to preventing petitions from submitting complaints against local governments, and they often take rooms in hotels or hospitality houses.
A secret prison in Dubai is not the first
Wu and her fiancée Wang Jingio, 19, were not an Uighur, but rather from the Chinese Han, and they form the ethnic majority in China.Wang is required by China because he published messages questioning Chinese media coverage of Hong Kong protests in 2019 and China's actions in the border clash with India.In addition to the Uighurs, China opposed opposition and human rights activists, and began huge efforts to restore suspect officials as part of a national anti -corruption campaign..
During the era of President Xi Jinping, China's most tyrannical leaders decades, Beijing returned 1421 people in 2020 alone due to corruption and financial crimes in the framework of the SkyNet operation..Dubai also has a date as a place where the Uighurs are interrogated and deported to China.Activists say that Dubai itself has been associated with secret interrogations with other countries.
Radha Sterling, the legal lawyer who established the Dubai Dubai Call Group, said that she worked with about ten people who reported that they were being held in villas in the Emirates, including citizens of Canada, India and Jordan.
"There is no doubt that the United Arab Emirates detained people on behalf of foreign governments allied to it.I don't think they will ever have their shoulders to ask this strong ally..
The report continued, that the young woman, who belongs to the millennial generation with a short, dyed hair, has never been interested in politics before.But after the arrest of her fiancé in Dubai on April 5, on unclear charges, she started conducting interviews with the media and contacting Chinese opponents residing abroad for assistance.
Wu said that Chinese officials interrogated her on May 27 at the "Element Al-Jaddaf Hotel", then the police took her to the Ber Dubai Police Station.The hotel staff refused to confirm its stay or leave, saying by phone that the disclosure of information about the guests is inconsistent with the company's policy.
Wu confirmed that she had been detained for a period of three days at the police station, with the confiscation of her phone and personal belongings.She said that on the third day, a Chinese man came to visit himself as Zuhang, he told her that he was working at the Chinese consulate in Dubai, and asked her if she had taken money from foreign groups to work against China."I said no, I love China a lot.Chinese travel passport.I am a tray ... How can I do that? ”.
The Associated Press notes that Lee Zohang has been listed as the Consul General on the Chinese consulate website in Dubai.The consulate did not respond to multiple calls, asking for comment and talking to me directly.
Wu said that I took her out of the police station with another Chinese man who restricted her hands and put her in a black Toyota.There were many Chinese in the car, but Wu was very afraid to take a clear look at their faces.After half an hour has passed, they stopped on a deserted street with rows of similar complexes.She said she was transferred to a three -storey white villa, where a series of rooms were converted into individual cells.
The house was calm and cold, unlike the desert temperature.Wu has been taken to her own cell, a renovated room to have a heavy metal door.There was a bed in her room, a chair, and a white Florence light, throughout the day and night.The metal door remained closed except when feeding it.Wu said: “You don't know time..There is no window, and it is not possible to see whether it is time or day. ”.
Wu said that one of the guards took her to a room several times where they interrogated her in the Chinese language and threatened her not to allow her to leave.The guards were wearing face masks all the time.Wu added that she saw another prisoner, a woman from the Uighur, while she was waiting for the bathroom to use once.The second time, I heard a woman from the Uighur screaming in Chinese, "I do not want to return to China, I want to return to Turkey.".Wu has determined that they were from the Uighur based on their appearance, but they are distinguished.

Wu said that one of the guards gave her a phone and a smart card and ordered her to contact her fiancée and the priest Bob Fu, Chinaaid president, a non -profit Christian organization, was helping the couple..Her fiancé Wang confirmed to the Associated Press that Wu called him and asked him about his site.
Fu said that he had received at least four or five calls during this time, some of them on an unknown phone number in Dubai, including a call she was crying and collapsed.She blamed again on Wang and said that Fu should not help him.
The Associated Press reviewed the text messages that Wu sent to Fu at the time, which was irregular.
"I can say that she was hiding and did not tell me about her existence.At that point, we concluded that something had happened to her, even from speaking. ”.Wu said that near the end of her stay, she refused meals, shouted and shouted in an attempt to release her.She said that the last thing that her kidnappers asked her is to sign documents in both Arabic and English.."I was really afraid and forced to sign the documents.I did not want to sign them. ”.
Reports have emerged in recent years about the transfer of Emiratis and foreigners to villas, sometimes indefinitely.
Perhaps the most famous issue related to Sheikha Latifa, daughter of the ruler of Dubai Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who tried to escape in 2018 on a boat, but the Indian Coast Guard objected to it in the Arabian Sea and returned it to the Emirates
In the BBC videos in February, she confirmed that she had been reserved against her will in a villa in Dubai."I am hostage.This villa has been transferred to a prison. ”.
China and the UAE have deep economic and political relations and are also working in the field of anti -espionage.China has ratified the agreement to hand over criminals with the UAE in 2002 and a judicial cooperation agreement in 2008.The UAE was a experimental site for Chinese Kofid vaccines, and cooperated with China in conducting tests.
Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and the actual ruler of the country, had previously said that he was ready to work with China to "jointly beating against extremist terrorist forces", including the Islamic East Turkestan Movement, an armed group accused by Beijing of strengthening the separation of Uighur.
In late 2017 and early 2018, the UAE authorities arrested and left at least five Uighurs to China, according to four friends and relatives who spoke on the phone with the Associated Press..
It seems that the UAE is the Chinese intelligence center on the Uighurs in the Middle East, former Uighur residents told Associated Press..The Uighur linguist, Abdel -Wali Ayoub, said that he spoke with three Uighurs who were forced to work as spies in Turkey who passed through Dubai to capture SIM cards and cash and meet with Chinese clients.
Jasour Aibulla, a former worker in the Shinjiang government, also told the Associated Press that the Chinese state security lured him from the Netherlands to the UAE in 2019 after his ex -wife, Asia Abdullah, obtained secret documents on the Chengiang detention camps.He said that he was welcomed by more than ten people working for the Chinese government in Dubai, including at least two who presented themselves that they were working in the Chinese Ministry of State Security.
One of them, a man of Uighur in his 1950.The other, a Chinese man from Al -Han who speaks Uighur fluently, said that he was on a mission to reveal the source of the leaks, according to Ubula..
The agents offered to Ubula and asked him to enter it on his former wife's computer.They offered him money, put him in the Hilton resort and bought games for his children.They also threatened him and showed him a video of his mother in China.One of them, driving his car through the sand dunes, said it reminds him of the deserts in Xinjiang.
He remembers that they said to him: “If we kill you and bury you here, no one will be able to find your body.”.Appula is now returning to the Netherlands, where the Associated Press spoke to him over the phone, and sent pictures of some agents, his hotel and his plane ticket to support his statements..
Besides the United Arab Emirates, many other countries cooperated with China in returning Uighurs.In 2015, Thailand returned more than 100 of them to China.In 2017, the Egyptian police arrested hundreds of students and residents, and also returned them.
"I am afraid to contact you"
After the release of Wu, she was returned to the same hotel in which she stayed and gave her personal belongings.I immediately contacted Fu, and apologized for her previous calls and asked for help, according to text messages seen by the Associated Press agency."I am afraid to contact you.I am afraid that someone will hear me. ”.
On June 11, she traveled from Dubai to Ukraine, where she was reunited with her fiancé Wang.After threats from the Chinese police that Wang might face deportation from Ukraine, the couple fled again to the Netherlands.She said: “I discovered that the people who deceive us are Chinese, and that it is the people of our country who harm our countrymen.”.
