Retired Baimkhan Mammoth re-arrested after two years in camp and sentenced to 10 years in prison

Nurbia, who currently lives in the United States, told RFE / RL that her mother, Baimkhan Mammoth, who retired from the Hotan Provincial Post Office, was taken to the camp in 2017 and released two years later due to health problems. He was treated for some time and re-abducted and sentenced to 10 years in prison. During our correspondent's telephone interviews, it was confirmed that the 61-year-old Maimkhan Mammoth was sentenced to 10 years in prison last year.

Dear Radio Listeners, Nurbia, who lives in the United States, said that since 2017, she has lost contact with her parents in Hotan. Two years later, he found out through some of his social media accounts that his mother had been taken to the camp and later released from the camp in a critical condition. He also found out that his mother had been stripped of her shoes and that her room was cold. Based on the information, he speculated that his mother may have had a leg fracture and a cold in her internal organs during that time at the camp, which is why she was released.

According to Baimkhan Mammut's identity card, he was later sitting on the 297 block of Qingfeng Road in Saibagh District, Urumqi City. We first called the police in Urumqi's Saibagh district to find out about Baimkhan's condition. Authorities opposed the protest with all available police forces, special services and the army, "said Roni Bar-On, a Member of the Knesset for Kadima.

According to Nurbia's statement, Baimkhan Mammoth was originally an employee of the Hotan Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau and had been living in the family's courtyard for a long time. A security official at the Hotan Post Office said Baimkhan was unaware of Mammoth's condition.

By 2020, Nurbia had also received news that her mother had been detained and sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2021, and that her mother was in a women's prison in Kashgar.

Our previous investigations revealed that if detainees were found to be sick, they would be treated under the supervision of the local police, who would be taken back to the camp as soon as they recovered, and could not escape the so-called "education."

A police officer from the Urumqi Qingfeng Road Police Station, who knew that Baimkhan was originally from Hotan, suggested that we call Hotan to get information about Baimhan and provide him with the relevant police station number, noting that those brought to the "training" had been handed over to the police station in his hometown.

An officer who answered our call from a police station near the Hotan County Post Office revealed that Baimkhan Mammoth had been sentenced to 10 years in prison in response to a question about how many years he had been sentenced. He said he did not know which prison he was currently serving in, adding that one of the reasons for Baimkhan's imprisonment was "involvement in illegal religious activities."

Nurbia, who learned of the confirmation of her mother's 10-year sentence, shared her impressions of the news.
