´China is after us´: Uighurs in Pakistan report intimidation

Uighurs have been migrating to Pakistan since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, some to work as traders and others escaping communist persecution.

Today, China's brutal crackdown on the community has made headlines around the world as up to three million Uighurs are believed to be held in so-called "re-education camps" where they are made to renounce Islam.

In Pakistan, there are around 2,000 Uighurs and for decades they have kept a low profile in the country – so much so that very few people are even aware of their presence.
