Extra Bio Info:

Nuermaimaiti Ruze is detained for his ethnoreligious identity.

In November 2020, Saudi Arabian authorities arrested Ruze, who is Uyghur, and his friend following an extradition request from the Chinese government.  Ruze is a resident of Mecca and had been working in a restaurant with a sponsored residence permit.

On March 16, 2022, Ruze was reportedly transferred to Riyadh, a move reportedly indicating imminent deportation to China.

Ruze’s ex-wife and her daughter were also arrested in Saudi Arabia and are facing deportation to China.
