Chinese authorities are rejecting all of Canada's requests for information on the fate or whereabouts of detained Uighur activist Huseyincan Celil. Mr. Celil was sentenced to death in absentia for founding a political party in Xinjiang in the 1990s. After escaping from China, he was allowed into Canada as a political refugee in 2001 and became a Canadian citizen. He was arrested in Uzbekistan in March 2006 and extradited to China last month.
