The Chinese government has been permitting some Uyghurs to travel to or from Xinjiang, with the apparent aim of presenting a public image of normalcy. @hrw shows that onerous requirements and official tours are the latest measures in the region.

The Chinese government is maintaining severe restrictions, conditions, and controls on Uyghurs who seek to travel abroad in violation of their internationally protected right to leave the country.

Hong Kong authorities should immediately drop all baseless charges against Jimmy Lai under the draconian National Security Law. His deteriorating health is another urgent call for all concerned governments to press for his unconditional release.

Lai, who has been charged under a Beijing-backed law critics say has been used to crack down on dissent, will be back in court on Monday.

At the Chinese government’s demand, the exhibit in Thailand censored Uyghur, Tibetan, and Hongkonger artists’ work and covered their names with tape. Beijing should stop its repression against critics abroad. Others should resist such transnational repression to protect rights.
Materials about Beijing’s treatment of ethnic minorities and Hong Kong have been removed, at China’s request, from an exhibit on authoritarian governments at one of Thailand’s top art galleries, according to its curator and communications seen by Reuters
