Nurgul is detained for her religious activity and ethnoreligious identity.
In 2018, authorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) detained Nurgul along with several of his family members reportedly in relation to their religious practice. Nurgul's detention came amid mass detentions of largely Muslim ethnic minorities in XUAR.
Nurgul's two brothers, nephew, and other extended family members were also detained around the same time as her.
