Feb. 3 marks a special day—not only for one Chinese family, but for many asylum seekers in the United States. Guan Heng was released last Tuesday, one week after a New York judge granted him asylum after more than five months in immigration detention.
He’s a whistleblower who documented evidence of Beijing’s human rights abuses against Uyghurs in China’s western Xinjiang region.
Guan sat down with NTD’s Flora Hua less than 48 hours after his release from immigration detention to speak about his journey.
