WGEID submission, a completed form with the details of a missing or detained person, to be sent to the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances. (relation unclear)
Testimony 1:
Testimony 2:
The victim is named Omerjan Abdureshit [Omarjiang Abudurexiti]. According to the UN WGEID report, he was born in Kashgar and resided in Yicha Village, Beshkirem (Korghan) Township, Kashgar. He is a Chinese citizen. The first names of his parents are Abdureshit and Hepizhan [surnames unspecified]. At the time of the information being provided to UN WGEID (12 August 2020), he was 46 years old. His UN WGEID case number is 10010762.
Omerjan Abdureshit is apparently related to Nejmidin Raman (testifier for Raman Idris [371] et al.), but the precise relation is unclear.
current location
[Presumably in Kashgar.]
chronology of detention(s)
According to Sections II.1 (Date of arrest) and III.1 (Place of arrest) in the UN WGEID report, Omerjan Abdureshit was arrested at an unknown location in China at some point in 2020, but the year in this case seems likely to be a mistake; according to Section VII (Summary) of the same report, Omerjan Abdureshit "allegedly disappeared in 2017 or 2018" (as is recorded for the majority of Nejmidin Raman's family). The author of the UN WGEID report may have mistakenly entered the year in which information was provided to UN WGEID instead of the year of arrest.
It is believed that Omerjan Abdureshit was taken to a "re-education" facility, but there has been no official confirmation so far.
