victim's relation to testifier

My husband's cousin

about the victim

Nigmat Musabayof, father of 5 year's old Nadira Musaboyof. Graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University. Had another degree from an Japanese University. He was an international business man before he detained on 15/04/2017. In September 2017, his mu found out Nigmat is in an detention centre in Michuan County. Muhaddas Musabayof (his mum) was asked to provide $500 yuan weekly for his living expenses through the security staff in the detention centre. But, she is not allowed to visit or see him. We lost contact with all the relatives in ET since October 2017. We never heard about anything about him since then.
