The last time Imamhusen’s father spoke with his 11 years old son and his twin brother, Imamhesen Memetrasul, was August 2016 over a phone call. The father, living in Kyrgyzstan, remembers the words from that last call he received from his children: “They called me saying, ‘Dad you should come, otherwise they will detain us’.” Their father moved abroad for work and believes that the police were threatening the family because he left Xinjiang. When interviewed, he told Amnesty International: “I think, yes, they disappeared because I didn’t return [to Xinjiang]; even if I would go back, they would still detain my family and myself.” After that call, the father lost contact with his family. The last update he received was in 2017. Since then, he has tried in many ways to gather information from the Chinese authorities about his family’s whereabouts, with no success. He added, “I have no idea where they may be.”
