Reyhan emphasized that their case addresses the broader issue of China\u2019s ongoing genocide against Uyghurs, asserting that such actions aim to intimidate the entire Uyghur diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chinese government has been accused of detaining approximately 1.8 million Uyghurs in re-education camps since 2017. Reyhan highlighted that one of the individuals who threatened Jelilova was a Chinese Embassy employee who was later deported. The case has drawn significant media attention, with Le Monde stating that China&#8217;s actions aim to silence activists like Reyhan and Jelilova, exemplifying judicial harassment against exiled individuals. The court hearing regarding a separate protest incident has been rescheduled for October 13.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Uyghur activists in France have re-filed a complaint in a Paris court alleging transnational repression by China, RFA reported.
