Registration address: Apt. 402, Entrance No. 2, Building No. 317, Bayi Road, Toutunhe District, Urumqi (乌鲁木齐市头屯河区八一路317号楼2单元402号).

current location

In Urumqi. Testimony 3: Urumqi.

chronology of detention(s)

As of 2017-2018, the victim was listed, together with approximately 8000 other people, as belonging to the WASFRY group (危安释放人员, or "endangering (state) security released persons"). [It is assumed that the victim was initially detained at some point before 2017, as the seriousness of the charge makes it very unlikely that he was both detained and released in 2017 or later.]

Urumqi police records also show him as going through checks in the city on July 7, July 8, and October 10, 2017, each time being flagged as a "national-security focus person", with instructions to be checked and escorted back to his place of origin [presumably also in Urumqi].

At some point, he was taken to camp, as a later report notes that he was given a day off from camp on February 15, 2019, before being returned to the "school" on February 16. As of 2017-2018, the victim was listed, together with approximately 8000 other people, as belonging to the WASFRY group (危安释放人员, or "endangering (state) security released persons"). All of these people were specified as being entered into the iTap surveillance system on July 27, 2017. [It is assumed that the victim was initially detained at some point before 2017, as the seriousness of the charge makes it very unlikely that they were both detained and released in 2017 or later. It is not known if the victim was detained again after their release, though this is likely if they were in the region in 2017-2018, as many of the people in the list have sensitive (red/orange-level) police tags, and as WASFRY is itself an orange-level tag.]

Testimony 3: Urumqi police records also show him as going through checks in the city on July 7, July 8, and October 10, 2017, each time being flagged as a "national-security focus person", with instructions to be checked and escorted back to his place of origin [presumably also in Urumqi].

Testimony 4: He was given a day off from camp on February 15, 2019, before being returned to the "school" on February 16.

suspected and/or official reason(s) for detention

[The earlier detention was presumably for "endangering state security", given the victim's membership in the WASFRY list.] [Presumably for "endangering state security", given the victim's membership in the WASFRY list.]

last reported status

In camp. Not specified. [There is a very high likelihood of the victim being in detention - given the sensitivity of the WASFRY tag, given many people on the WASFRY list having other sensitive tags, and given the majority of the better documented victims in the list being reported as detained in the post-2017 period also. However, it is also possible that the victim left the region/country prior to the mass incarcerations of 2017-2018, and thereby escaped detention.]

An OHCHR report mentions a "Tursunjan Qadir", but too few details are given (only that he was detained in July 2018), and it is impossible to establish a clean match: https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/Disappearances/A_HRC_WGEID_118_1_Advance.pdf An OHCHR report mentions a "Tursunjan Qadir", but too few details are given (only that he was detained in July 2018), and it is impossible to establish a clean match: https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/Disappearances/A_HRC_WGEID_118_1_Advance.pdf
