Extra Bio Info:

Nurmemet Hajim is detained for his ethnoreligious identity.

In December 2017, authorities in Beijing detained Haijm, who had studied at an Urumqi Islamic institute and abroad in Egypt, Yemen, and Malaysia, and at the time of his detention was working at an Arab diplomatic mission in Beijing. Haijm's detention came amid mass detentions of largely Muslim ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR).

Hajim's parents had also been detained around the same time in Urumqi Municipality, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR).
