She has two sons, both aged four years old.

current location

Testimony 1: Believed to be detained in Ghulja (either at the Baykol Prison [Ili Women's Prison] or the "prison" at Yengi'hayat [presumably the Ghulja City Administrative Detention Center]).

chronology of detention(s)

According to an anonymous source (T1), Munira went to the Ghulja City PSB in June 2020 and requested permission to have a video chat with her husband. Her request was denied.

On the bus back home, a Kyrgyz businesswoman asked about her husband, and Munira started crying.

Munira was arrested from her home the following night.

According to the anonymous source (T1), she was subsequently sentenced to 10 years in prison.

An anonymous police officer (T2) confirmed that she was sentenced, but said that her sentence was for three years, not 10.
