Shir'eli Perhat is detained for his ethnoreligious identity.
In March 2017, public security officials in Urumqi municipality, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), detained Perhat and his brother. Their detentions came amid mass detentions of largely Muslim ethnic minorities in XUAR in 2017 and 2018.
In March 2019, authorities briefly released Perhat due to an unspecified health issue but took him back into custody shortly thereafter.
