Uyghur author arrested in Malaysia

A Uyghur author and scientist has been arrested and deported from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in a case raising concerns about transnational repression. The individual, who is reportedly a U.S.-based scientist, was detained under suspected pressure from the Chinese government. The incident highlights Beijing's alleged influence abroad to target critics, particularly from the Uyghur community. Questions are being raised about the safety of Beijing's critics in foreign countries.
