Uyghur Community in Turkey Under Pressure With Extradition Treaty Looming
Istanbul Provincial Security Directorate carried out nighttime raids on apartments of Uyghur Muslims in Sefaköy (Istanbul) neighborhood. Uyghur activists claim that this occurred right after their series of protests in front of the Chinese Consulate titled “Where’s my family”. Others believe that these are preliminary results of the extradition treaty signed in 2017.
After such investigations, some households were told that their home was wrongly raided.
Raids were done in teams of 5-10 people and at least 20 were detained.
Sources say the police carried out operations by claiming that they were linked to the East Turkestan Islamic Party. After the raids by the Anti-Terror Bureau, the public hasn’t been informed yet.
East Turkestan associations cannot make any statements about the situation as they are under threat.
