flag A U.S. judge granted asylum to a Chinese man who filmed Xinjiang detention centers, fearing persecution upon return.

flag A U.S. immigration judge has granted asylum to Guan Heng, a 38-year-old Chinese national, after finding he has a well-founded fear of persecution if returned to China. flag Guan, who secretly filmed detention facilities in Xinjiang in 2020 and released the footage online, fled to the U.S. in 2021 via Hong Kong, Ecuador, and the Bahamas. flag He testified he aimed to expose human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities, not to seek asylum, but feared retaliation after Chinese authorities questioned his father. flag The Department of Homeland Security initially sought to deport him to Uganda but dropped the plan amid public and congressional concern. flag The ruling, rare under current immigration policies, allows Guan to remain in the U.S., though he remains in detention pending a potential appeal by the DHS.
