about the victim

Roshengul Yasin.

current location

[Presumably in Ili.]

chronology of detention(s)

Testimony 1: Roshengul Yasin legally traveled to Turkey to meet her daughters in both 2015 and 2016. She wanted to live with her two daughters in Turkey for a while at some point, but eventually returned to China because she was worried about her son, Ibrahim Tursun.

She was detained in late 2019, approximately two months after her daughter, Zinnetgul Tursun, had been deported from Turkey to China via Tajikistan. (For this reason, Jennetgul suspects that Zinnetgul may have been tortured after her deportation to China and forced to provide Chinese authorities with information about Roshengul and her activities during her trip to Turkey. It is presumed that Chinese authorities subsequently used such information to make accusations against Roshengul, ultimately leading to her detention.)

Testimony 2-3: According to two anonymous village cadres with knowledge of the case, Roshengul had been in detention for 9 months [as of approximately 3 August 2020]. [This means that she was likely detained in around November 2019.] The village cadres did not specify to RFA why Roshengul Yasin was detained.

suspected and/or official reason(s) for detention

Testimony 4: A separate anonymous official suggested to RFA that Roshengul's previous trip to Turkey was the reason for her detention.

last reported status

In detention.

how testifier(s) learned of victim's situation

Testimony 1: Jennetgul Tursun tried to call Roshengul after hearing the news about Zinnetgul Tursun being deported from Turkey to China via Tajikistan, but her call was not connected for a number of weeks. At the time, Jennetgul was not overly worried about Roshengul, as she was told when she heard the news about Zinnetgul that Roshengul was looking after Zinnetgul's two children [implying that Roshengul was alive and at home].

Testimony 2-3: The two anonymous village cadres reportedly had knowledge of the victim's case, presumably from official sources.

Testimony 4: Unclear, but presumably through official sources.
