Shohret Hoshur’s family harassed
Chinese authorities have engaged in a sustained pattern of harassment of Radio Free Asia Uyghur reporter Shohret Hoshur’s family in in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. His three brothers have been detained, and one of the brothers has been sentenced to prison for five years. Shohret is a U.S. citizen who has been targeted in the past for his breaking and exclusive news coverage at RFA on the unrest and tensions in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. We believe these actions have been taken with the intention of silencing Shohret.
