Justice for All Canada seeks justice for Idris Hasan, also known as Yidiresi Aishan. Idris is an Uyghur Muslim arbitrarily detained in Morocco. We seek to expose the transnational repression faced by Idris and Uyghurs advocating or fleeing genocide under the Chinese communist government.

Our Mission: Halt the Illegal Extradition of Idris Hasan to China.

Name: Idris Hasan (Chinese name: Yidiresi Aishan)
Year of Birth: 1988
Ethnicity: Uyghur
Citizenship: Chinese

Prisoners Of Conscience Face Grave Human Rights Violations ​

The plight of Idris Hasan exemplifies the widespread human rights abuses endured by Uyghurs, particularly activists and dissenters. This section summarizes some of the human rights violations facing Idris right now, providing insight into the larger pattern of systemic repression and injustice against Uyghurs defending their communities. 

Arbitrary Detention
Idris Hasan is subject to arbitrary detention. This means he is imprisoned without proper legal justification or due process.

Extradition Threats
He faces the risk of extradition to China, which raises concerns about his right to a fair trial, his safety and the risk of torture, forced labour and ill-treatment.

Transnational Repression
Idris Hasan is caught in a web of transnational repression. He is being targeted by Chinese authorities beyond the borders of his home country.

Non-Refoulement
Extradition violates refoulement, an established principle under international law. It prohibits the return of individuals to countries where they may face persecution or ill-treatment. 

Take Action For Idris!

Idris Hasan was arrested on July 19, 2021, at Morocco’s airport after China issued an Interpol Red Notice. The notice was revoked shortly after, but the Moroccan court still ruled for his extradition to China. Idris is being threatened with deportation to China.

His Story

In 2008, when Idris Hasan was 20 years old and studying at the Chinese Petroleum University in China, he and three of his friends were arrested and subjected to torture. Their Uyghur identity made them appear suspicious outside Occupied East Turkestan (also known as Xinjiang). After his release, Idris’ interactions with Radio Free Asia led to continuous police interrogations within China. In 2012, Hasan decided to leave the country with his wife.

Upon arriving in Turkey, Hasan used his graphic design skills to assist Uyghur rights groups. While his wife received approval for humanitarian residence, Idris faced multiple arrests in Turkey between 2014 and 2021. 

In 2021, he discovered his name on a Turkish government document regarding China's wanted Uyghurs in Turkey, which led him to flee the country. However, Idris was arrested after landing at Casablanca airport in Morocco due to an Interpol Red Notice. This indicates cooperation between Interpol and the Chinese government.

The cancellation of the Red Notice by Interpol in August 2021 brought some relief, but despite this, Moroccan courts ruled to extradite Idris to China on December 15, 2021. This ruling, despite the existence of an extradition treaty, violates international law. United Nations human rights experts have urged Morocco to halt the extradition, emphasizing the principle of non-refoulement.
