Disappointed in India, says Dolkun Isa after visa cancellation

April 25, 2016 11:48

Uyghur leader Dolkun Isa reacts to India cancelling his visa: "I express my disappointment on Indian authorities cancellation of my visa to attend the Conference in Dharamsala. India had granted me a tourist e-visa, but it was cancelled after my visit was widely reported in the Indian press.

After China's strong protest, India has cancelled its visa to the dissident Uyghur leader citing Interpol's red corner notice against him. Isa, a leader of the World Uyghur Congress who lives in Germany, had been invited to a conference being organised by the US-based 'Initiatives for China'. Uyghurs and many other Chinese dissidents in exile were expected to attend the conference in India and discuss democratic transformation in China.
