Muyesser Haji Memet is imprisoned for her ethnoreligious identity.
In 2018, authorities in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) detained Memet, a doctor. Her detention coincided with the arrests of several relatives, including Ablimit Hoshur Hajim, reportedly in relation to a now-closed charitable fund founded by Hajim to support education abroad for Uyghurs. Memet's detention came amid mass detentions of largely Muslim ethnic minorities in XUAR in 2017 and 2018.
On an unspecified date, Memet was reportedly sentenced to prison for an unspecified period of time.
