Hong Kong blasts rights group over missing Uighur man allegation

HONG Kong yesterday “strongly condemned” rights group Amnesty International for alleging that a Uighur man had gone missing after he arrived at the city’s airport.

The group said in a statement Friday that Abuduwaili Abudureheman, born in China’s northwestern region of Xinjiang, travelled from South Korea to Hong Kong on May 10 to visit a friend and had not been heard from since.
