Abdullatif Kucar returns to China, determined to find his children, who have been sent to state-run "boarding schools," and his wife, who has spent two years in prison. They're among hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs arrested and detained over the years. Kucar is trying to do what is virtually impossible in China: bring his loved ones home for good.

Hey, I'm Kelly McEvers and this is embedded from NPR.
And we are back with the second part of the Black Gate.
It's a three part series from NPR correspondent Emily about the Chinese government's detainment of Uighurs and other Muslim groups.
These detentions have been described by the UN as possibly constituting crimes against humanity.
The Kuchar family is one family that was separated because of China's crackdown.
If you haven't listened to the first part in the series, we recommend starting there.
After the break, Emily will continue the story of a man who is desperate to find and bring his wife and children home.
We'll be right back.
