Victim 1:

Elijan Mamut, My Father.

Elijan Mamut (艾力江马木提， ID:653101197404122416), he is a businessman, lives in Kashgar. Detailed address is: No. 467, Group No. 8, Towenki Mollazat Village, Nezerbagh Municipality, Kashgar City, XUAR (新疆维吾尔自治区喀什市乃则尔巴格镇吐万克毛拉扎德村 8 组 467 号).

He invested in a packaging supply factory, and other small business in Kashgar. He is a law abiding citizen, who has never committed any crime against the law and norms. Our communication was cut off since May 2017. Later on, I found out he was arrested and taken into one of those Chinese Concentration Camps in that region. There was no court and statements, there was no charge against him, he is only taken in the name of “Education/eradication”, like millions of Uyghurs. He supported me and my sister to go to university abroad. Unfortunately, he became the victim very soon after that.

There is another possibility that he might also be used as Forced Labor, there are public advertisement from the local officers about “Uyghur Labor For Sale” on the Chinese social media. It has been stated in multiple reports from UN and other human right organizations, that Chinese government are taking millions of Uyghurs into the concentration camps, separated from their family, tortured or used as slave labors, and many of them were sent to home after their death in those camps. We plea the UK parliament help us get information about him and his current condition. We will fight for his freedom and hope the justice served to him as he deserved.
