Extra Bio Info:

Abduqadir is detained for his ethnoreligious identity.

In 2017, authorities detained Abduqadir under unclear circumstances. The uncle of Abduqadir's wife reportedly said that some of his relatives were detained in relation to either growing beards or having religious materials at their homes or religious content on their phones. Abduqadir's detention came amid mass detentions of largely Muslim ethnic minorities in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR).

Abduqadir's wife and brother-in-law were also detained.
