Qurban, a writer, journalist and retired journal editor, has not been seen or heard from by his son since November 2017. His son told Amnesty International that in September 2018 a source reported Qurban had been sent to an internment camp. There has since been no information about his whereabouts or condition. His son believes that his residence in the USA is the reason for his father’s detention.
