about the victim

Zarife Omer is one of the daughters of Omer and Meryem Faruh. She is a Turkish citizen, and has three siblings (two of whom reside outside of China).

current location

[Presumably in Bayingolin, as that's where the family seems to be from originally.]

chronology of detention(s)

In 2016, Omer was in Saudi Arabia. Meryem called him to say that Chinese police were demanding that she surrender the passports for her and the children.

Omer advised Meryem not to surrender the passports as he knew they could all be detained. He then arranged flights out of China for Meryem and the two elder daughters, who already had passports.

The two younger daughters (including the victim) stayed in Xinjiang with Omer's in-laws. In 2017, Omer's in-laws were placed in concentration camps.

It is unclear what happened to the victim.
