Ottawa Presses China on Celil

Ottawa is pressing China to release information about what it has done with Uigyr activist and Canadian citizen Huseyincan Celil. Celil was recently extradited from Uzbekistan to China where he may face charges, imprisonment, and execution.

I suspect a good deal of diplomacy is going on in the background in attempts to assure Celil's safety. I also suspect China will be less than responsive until they perceive progress being made towards securing fugitive Lai Changxing, who is currently being held in Vancouver.
