about the victim

name: Abdurehim Rozi
gender: male
ethnicity: Uyghur
occupation: businessman (ran a business with his younger brother and his wife Qelbinur Tursun)

On 12 April 2016, he travelled to Turkey with his pregnant wife Qelbinur Tursun and one of their six children to escape forced abortion for exceeding the child bearing quota.
While his wife and child remained in Turkey, Abdurehim returned to China. Upon his return (no date given), he was arrested and taken to Hotan. He was sent to a “re-education” camp and was later sentenced to 10 years in prison for 'attempting to travel abroad' and 'suspected terrorism’.
His wife has since been in Turkey not knowing what happened to the couple’s five children who still remain in China.
