Urgent Action update: Detained Uighur has nervous breakdown

Hankezi Zikeli is detained in a “transformation-through-education” centre in Urumqi, Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR) and is believed to have suffered a nervous breakdown. Hankezi Zikeli, a Washington based journalist and Gulchehra Hoja's aunt, is one of 25 relatives who have been detained since January 2018. Without any access to a lawyer, there are grave fears that they are at risk of torture or other ill-treatment.

Take action.
