Extra Bio Info:

Adil Mijit was detained for his ethnoreligious identity.

In November 2018, authorities in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) detained Mijit, a comedian, and sent him to a reeducation camp. Mijit's detention came amid mass detentions of largely Muslim ethnic minorities in XUAR.

Mijit was reportedly released from detention prior to August 2020. The exact date was unspecified.
