Dilmurat Emer is detained for his religious activity and ethnoreligious identity.

In November 2017, authorities detained Emer and sent him to a "political reeducation" center. Several members of Emer 's family were also detained. Emer's uncle reportedly said that some of his family members had been detained for growing beards or having religious materials at their homes or religious content on their phones. Emer and his family's detentions came amid mass detentions of Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other ethnic minority residents of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in 2017.
