Extra Bio Info:

Shehide Imin is detained for her religious activity and ethnoreligious identity.

In May 2017, authorities detained Imin and several of family members and sent them to a "political reeducation" center. Their detentions are reportedly believed to have been in relation to either growing beards or having religious materials at their homes or religious content on their phones and came amid mass detentions of ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
