Sweden arrests senior Uyghur representative on suspicion of spying for China

Swedish authorities arrested a Stockholm-based Uyghur man, identified by the World Uyghur Congress as Dilshat Reshit, on suspicion of collecting intelligence on Uyghur communities for Chinese intelligence services; the WUC removed him from his role and called for a transparent legal process. The report situates the case amid broader Western warnings and industry research on Chinese-linked cyber espionage targeting Uyghurs, along with international responses such as sanctions and UN findings on human rights abuses, and urges stronger cooperation between counterintelligence services and Uyghur organizations.
