Beijing [China], May 27 (ANI): Prominent Uyghur scholar and linguist-in-exile Abduweli Ayup s niece is confirmed to have died last year under detention by state security police in China s Xinjiang region, informed official sources.
Mihray Erkin, a graduate of Shanghai s Jiao Tong University, had gone on to become a researcher at Japan s Nara Institute of Science and Technology. He returned to Xinjiang in August 2019 after authorities in Kashgar put her parents under pressure to call her home, reported Radio Free Asia (RFA).
In late 2020, RFA reported that Erkin was believed to have died while in detention in one of the vast network of internment camps in Xinjiang, where up to 1.8 million Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities have been held since 2017. The report was not independently confirmed at the time.
