Extra Bio Info:

Abdueziz Yasin is detained for his ethnoreligious identity.

In 2017, authorities detained Yasin under unclear circumstances. Yasin's uncle reportedly said that some of his relatives were detained in relation to either growing beards or having religious materials at their homes or religious content on their phones. Yasin's detention came amid mass detentions of largely Muslim ethnic minorities in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR).

Yasin's sister and brother-in-law were also detained.
