about the victim

name: Subinur Abdurehim
gender: female
ethnicity: Uyghur
age: 12 (as of 16 Jan 2019)

Her mother Qelbinur Tursun (from Terim township, Yupurgha village in Kashgar prefecture) left for Turkey on 12 April 2016 together with Subinur’s father Abdurehim Rozi and one of Subinur’s siblings. While her mother and sibling remained in Turkey, her father was arrested and imprisoned upon his return to China.
Subinur has been living with her uncle and aunt and four siblings in Urumchi. Her last known whereabouts were at her mother’s home in Kashgar, where she stayed with her mother’s older sister and her four siblings. The last time her mother received news about her and her siblings through her mother's older sister was on 27 July 2017. After this date, her mother does not know what happened to her and her siblings or where they are. Her sister Ayshe was identified on a video by her mother on 24 December 2018, apparently showing her in a school or orphanage with other children in Hotan.

Testimony 4: Enwer Ablimit claims that at some point after Qelbinur Tursun left Xinjiang, her brother-in-law, Abduweli Rozi, took her children in, and has been raising them ever since at his home in Yopurgha County. Enwer Ablimit denies that the five children have been sent to a school in Hotan, and claims that they are attending a local school. [It is not clear how genuine this is.]
