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