YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEgyptian police have arrested dozens of members of Egypt’s Uyghur community, many of whom are students at Al-Azhar University, over the last few weeks as part of a plan to deport them to China, where the students believe that they will be arrested by Chinese state authorities on accusations of belonging to terrorist groups.
The Uyghurs are a Turkic-speaking ethnic minority living in a contested northwest region of China, which the Chinese state refers to as the Xinjiang Autonomous Region ( Aka East Turkestan )
Some members of the community have managed to leave Egypt, making their way to cities like Istanbul. Others, however, remain in Cairo, in uncertain circumstances.
