"“The Interpol chief, Meng Hongwei, wanted to take me back to China,” said [World Uyghur Congress] President Dolkun Isa, “[and] since he wasn’t able to do so, he went to the cell [that] was prepared for me [a] long time ago. This is because of the fact that, in China, jail is a place that should not [have a] vacant cell [at] any time.” President Dolkun Isa also said, “From time to time, I wonder: Should I apologize to Meng Hongwei for causing him to go to jail?”"
