about the victim

Imran Eli Jumahun completed his university studies in Urumqi and was in the real-estate business, having previously worked as a wholesale clothes seller for clients in Kazakhstan and also as a professional accordion player. His wife was a doctor and had worked at a hospital in Urumqi, with the couple having 3 children, all under the age of 10.

In 2014/2015, he made an Umrah (pilgrimage) to Mecca.

current location

Ghulja.

chronology of detention(s)

He was sent to a detention center in 2016, after which his family bribed officials to get him out of the center and transferred to an internment camp (in 2017).

In early June 2019, he was let out for a day to see his dying father, who'd pass away from cancer in mid-June. Imran was also allowed to attend his funeral, but was taken back to camp to "finish his studies" afterwards.

He appears to have been released in December 2019.

suspected and/or official reason(s) for detention

Travelling overseas.

last reported status

Appears to be released, but exact status unclear.

how testifier(s) learned of victim's situation

Through contact with his parents and other family members. His parents had lost all hope and have encouraged their family overseas to publize his case in the hope that it helps.

additional information

The victim's mother, Halida, has been seriously ill from the ordeal (of having a terminally ill husband and her son in detention).

His father-in-law, a popular imam from Ghulja, is also in an internment camp (as of mid-2019), together with the rest of his family.
