World Uyghur Congress Condemns Morocco's Detention and Deportation of Activist Dolkun Isa
The World Uyghur Congress (WUC) condemned Moroccan authorities for detaining, denying entry to, and deporting Uyghur activist and former WUC President Dolkun Isa upon his arrival in Casablanca on July 20, 2026. Isa was attending the International Religious Freedom Summit but was held overnight without explanation and sent back to Germany. Moroccan officials cited a ban on his entry. The WUC highlighted Isa's history of travel restrictions linked to a now-deleted 1997 INTERPOL Red Notice initiated by China, affecting his advocacy efforts globally.
