suspected and/or official reason(s) for detention

---

last reported status

As of January 2020, everyone in Nadire's household had allegedly been detained.

At some point in March 2020, the Chinese consulate called Abdurahman Tohti in relation to his children and told him that his children were with their uncle, not at a boarding school. The caller said that he did not know which uncle the children were with. (It is unclear whether this was true, or if it was a lie designed to keep Abdurahman Tohti quiet.)

how testifier(s) learned of victim's situation

The testifier says that he learned of everyone in the family being detained "via the internet".

The speaker on This American Life (Durrie Bouscaren) and Abdurahman also called the police in Aksu and were allegedly able to get confirmation that there was no one left at the family's home.
