Extra Bio Info:

Adiljan is detained for his religious activity and ethnoreligious identity.

In 2018, authorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) detained Adiljan, who worked for a real estate firm, along with several of his family members reportedly in relation to their religious practice. Adiljan's detention came amid mass detentions of largely Muslim ethnic minorities in XUAR.

Adiljan's father, aunt, uncle, and other extended family members were also detained around the same time as him.
