Her relatives refused to be swayed by the threats and all agreed that they would never hand her over. “I have a wish that all the whole world knows about my case – not only for me but for all the Kazakh nomadic people who have suffered. On January 2, police in Urumqi threatened all of Zhumatai’s relatives, calling for her to be taken to a psychiatric hospital and falsely accusing her of conspiring with international spies. “I want the international community to know my story. She now resides with her 77-year-old mother, who is unwell and in need of medical treatment but cries that she cannot go out. Having sold her house in the hopes of leaving Xinjiang, Zhumatai found herself homeless, with no prospects of earning a salary. She was confined within the walls of her home like a prisoner. Despite that, Zhumatai quickly realized that her life was now under the control of the authorities. They told me that the CCP was trying to correct the ideologies that I had.” They were trying to force me to say that I am guilty, but I would never say that when I am an innocent person.
