Last Contact
Early 2016
Aniver’s sister lost contact with her brother in February 2016, after she moved to Turkey. In April 2016, she heard from some friends that have connections in her hometown that Aniver had been arrested and sent to prison in Sanji (Changji) with a 10-year sentence.
She has reason to believe that, after his arrest, Aniver faced trial without any legal representation. However, she does not know what he was charged with and is unable to gather further information on her brother’s case. She believes that Aniver was arrested because she has been living in Turkey.
Since 2016, Aniver’s sister has lost all connections with family and friends back in Xinjiang. She does not know how Aniver is doing and whether he has access to the family in China.
