Hemdulla Abdurahman is detained for his ethnoreligious identity.
In January 2019, authorities detained Abdurahman, a retired linguist who previously worked at the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) Ethnic Language Work Committee in Urumqi municipality, XUAR. Relatives living abroad lost contact with Abdurahman shortly after he told them that his brother had been detained for performing prayers.
