In February this year Interpol withdrew the red-corner notice against Dolkun Isa. China responded angrily. Chinese foreign ministry issued a statement saying, China expresses its dissatisfaction at Interpol revoking the notice for Dolkun Isa. Dolkun Isa is a terrorist as determined by the Chinese government.
Meng Hongwei is said to have been on the radar of Xi Jinping administration of China for allowing withdrawal of the red-corner notice against Dolkun Isa. The Chinese intelligence personnel were keeping an eye on the movements of Meng Hongwei. https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/interpol-meng-hongwei-arrest-china-uyghur-muslims-xinjiang-1358357-2018-10-08

2-24-18 Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the World Uyghur Congress, said the accusations against Isa were purely political. “China is unable to produce any actual evidence of its accusations against him,” he said in a statement. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-xinjiang/china-upset-as-interpol-removes-wanted-alert-for-exiled-uighur-leader-idUSKCN1G80FK

Mr. Meng was not in a position to affect specific notices; Interpol is run by a secretary general, now Jürgen Stock of Germany. But it is noteworthy that, in February, Interpol canceled a Red Notice pushed by Beijing in pursuit of a persecuted Uighur dissident, Dolkun Isa, who fled China in the 1990s. Also, Interpol responded to complaints of abuse, installing new safeguards for Red Notices and giving individuals a channel to challenge them. The watchdog group Fair Trials has just published a report and scorecard on Interpol’s reforms, saying the agency has made promising first steps, although more are needed.
This is all the more reason Mr. Meng’s disappearance looks extremely odd, exposing the arbitrary and opaque methods of China’s leaders, who operate far outside any concepts of rule of law and due process. Mr. Meng returned to Beijing in late September. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/another-ominous-turn-in-china/2018/10/09/105cd348-cb30-11e8-a360-85875bac0b1f_story.html?utm_term=.16cc7fb40fce
