chronology of detention(s)

Testimony 1: Not known if detained.

Testimony 2: Detained in April 2017.

Testimony 3:

In early 2017, Dilnur's sister told Dilnur over the phone that she had to come back to Xinjiang. Dilnur's father was being "interrogated for long stretches every week." Dilnur asked her sister why she had to return. Her sister replied "Because the government wants you to come back. The safety of our family depends on you. If you do not come back right away, all of our family and even our extended relatives will be punished and taken to camps."

More than a week after her sister's call, Dilnur "received a message from her father through a mutual relative". The message said that Dilnur "should focus on finishing her education". Shortly after, another message from her father followed, which said "Dilnur must never come back again."
