An "unidentified" girl in Xinjiang is finally reunited with her parents in Kazakhstan

Our station reported in January this year that a Kazakh couple gave birth to a six-year-old daughter, Reyanhou, in Xinjiang. The child was unable to go to school because he did not have a birth certificate and medical insurance. After the incident was disclosed by our station, it aroused public attention. Recently, Reyan finally obtained her ID card and passport, and was reunited with her parents in Kazakhstan.

Our station discloses that a girl in Xinjiang is expected to be reunited with her family after her encounter

From the video provided by Reyan's father, Abier Delelihan, it can be seen that Reyan is sitting on her father's lap affectionately, and Abiel is holding her daughter tightly, with a happy smile on her face. The pair made a recording thanking the station for their reporting that led to their reunion after years of separation.

Abil: "I thank Radio Free Asia for helping my child Reyan come back from China (Kazakhstan) and come back to us."

Abil and Reyan: "Thank you Radio Free Asia"

Abier, a young man from Kazakhstan, divorced his first wife in a Kazakh court in 2016. Then he went to Xinjiang and registered his marriage with his current wife. However, the Xinjiang court refused to recognize the divorce judgment of his previous marriage in Kazakhstan, so Abil and his current wife could not get a marriage certificate.

After their child, Reyan, was born, Xinjiang authorities refused to issue a birth certificate for Reyan. For six years, she has not been able to enjoy medical insurance or go to school in Xinjiang. Both Abil and his wife are citizens of Kazakhstan, and the child was forced to stay in China because he did not have a birth certificate, living in his uncle's house.

After the disclosure of the experience of the Abier family by this station, there is a dawn. In the middle of last month, Reyan finally got her ID card and passport issued by China. Translator Nurbek told this station that during the process, Abil was anxious because he could not get his daughter's visa for a long time. Fortunately, the visa was issued on Sunday. On Wednesday afternoon local time in Kazakhstan, he finally saw his hot uncle with She entered the country, and Reyan returned to her parents' embrace.

China made it difficult for hot passport uncle to become parents in legal name

But while reunited with their daughter, they have another layer of concerns. "What he is worried about now is whether the Chinese police will harass his wife's brother-in-law after he returns to China," Nurbek relayed.

In an interview with our station, Saier Kejian, the founder of the Kazakh non-governmental Atajurt Volunteer Organization, revealed that China has used tricks to release the ID card for Reyan, so that even if Reyan is reunited with her biological parents, she cannot become a real father and daughter .

Saier Kejian: "After the report by Radio Free Asia, this child has an identity. (The authorities) first issued a birth certificate. On the birth certificate, the father is written as the biological father's younger brother, and the hot uncle and aunt have become' Legally 'parents, the Chinese authorities deliberately gave this girl a fake document."

China appoints unrelated uncle to take Reyan abroad for fear of being involved in child trafficking lawsuit

Saier Kejian said that even though Reyan's parents had undergone a DNA test, the Xinjiang authorities would not recognize her. On the other hand, the Xinjiang authorities did not approve the passports of Nuan Yan's "legal" parents. hinder. What is even more absurd is that the Chinese authorities arbitrarily appointed an uncle who has no blood relationship with Nuan Yan (brother-in-law of her biological mother) to apply for a passport to bring Nuan Yan back to Kazakhstan.

"Because it deliberately made things difficult for them and allowed them to immigrate to Kazakhstan. The Xinjiang authorities are now deliberately making things difficult and creating all kinds of troubles, prohibiting these Kazakhs from immigrating to Kazakhstan. It seems that there are too few Chinese, and the Kazakhs are all gone. It's gone." Sailk insisted.

The reunion of Reyan's family was full of twists and turns. Although the daughter received it, the identity issue was blocked and she could not become a real family member legally. Serkejian said that it would be a good thing for Reyan's uncle to help bring the child to Kazakhstan, but the Chinese authorities can use this reason to make a fuss and may pursue Uncle Reyan's crimes.

Saier Kejian: "The Chinese authorities will bring Reyan to Kazakhstan's uncle to investigate the child trafficking case. Because he took the child abroad and did not return. Whether the Chinese authorities will pursue this gentleman is a question one question".

What's more troublesome is that Reyan's "legal" parents, uncles and aunts, did not go to Kazakhstan with her. Reyan's Kazakh citizenship is also a big problem. Saier Kejian said that in the next stage, it will be a long process for Reyan to become a Kazakh nationality.

Hong Kong people around the world join forces on the weekend to support the "47" and other political prisoners

It has been nearly four years since the "anti-extradition movement" broke out in Hong Kong. With the outbreak of the Burmese coup and the Russo-Ukraine war, the international community's attention to Hong Kong has gradually cooled. However, Beijing's "after autumn settlement" has never stopped. Some overseas Hong Kong people's organizations have launched a global solidarity campaign, and will hold silent stations in Britain, the United States, Australia, Canada and Taiwan this weekend to support the 47 Hong Kong democrats who are being tried and other unknown political prisoners .

A non-government Legislative Council primary election held in Hong Kong in 2020 resulted in 47 Hong Kong democrats being imprisoned and charged with "conspiracy to subvert state power" under the Hong Kong National Security Law. This is the largest interrogation after the implementation of the "National Security Law for Hong Kong", covering almost all representatives of Hong Kong's democrats on the political spectrum, but the attention of the international community has gradually declined.

Diminished Hong Kong people responded to the weekend street meet

Some overseas Hong Kong people's organizations launched the "Primary Election of Innocence - Global Hong Kong People's Solidarity with the 47 Cases Joint Action", and will hold silent stations and other actions in many places around the world this weekend. In an interview with our station, Chloe, a member of the British Hong Kong people's organization "Lies Brothers Connection", said that this joint operation was originally intended to be concentrated in the UK. However, after the news spread, Hong Kong people's organizations around the world responded and developed into a global joint action.

Chloe said: We have noticed that since the trial of the primary election case, the attention in Hong Kong and even overseas has not been very high. The reports on the 47 cases in the UK can actually be counted with five fingers, so we hope that through this joint action, the local society and Hong Kong people in the UK will pay attention to and discuss the 47 cases.

In the coming weekend, that is, on the 15th and 16th, there will be at least 19 silent stations and other actions in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada and Taiwan to support the 47 Hong Kong democrats and other political prisoners who are being tried, including Manchester, Sutton, Birmingham, Vancouver, San Francisco, New York and Sydney, etc., will be the largest global Hong Kong people's action in the near future.

Using the image of a "prisoner" to explain the influence of the CCP to people from all over the world

Chloe said that they hoped that 47 participants from all over the country could put on the masks of "47 people" and stand silently holding props such as "prison" or chains. It will be left to the local organizations to decide on the form of the silent station.

In the rally held in San Francisco on Saturday (15th) by the American Hong Kong people's organization "American Hong Kong Club", "Students For Hong Kong" and "Northern California Hong Kong Association", 47 participants will be recruited to wear white masks to silently Standing, symbolizing "the 47 people can be any one of us".

Ariel, a member of Students For Hong Kong, told this station that he hopes to attract the attention of local people in this way.

Ariel said: We wear white masks and stand silently in some crowded places in various cities. One of the biggest purposes is to create a visual effect on the street, so that different people will think after seeing it: these people wear Wearing a mask, what are you doing? We have the opportunity to explain to them that today we want to call attention to the 47 primary elections in Hong Kong, and we also want to send a message that Hong Kong and other people around the world who are also fighting for democracy and freedom stand on the same front of.

J, a member of the "Hong Kong American Association", believes that it is necessary to let Americans know that the power of the CCP affects them at the same time.

J said: In addition to letting our people know, every American needs to know. Political suppression is not only happening in Hong Kong, the CCP is actually infiltrating more and more in the United States. For example, if you use TikTok, there are also many political factors that allow the CCP to control the voices they don't like to hear. The CCP also conducts espionage activities in the United States. For example, in the district where I live, there is also a Chinese female spy who went to spy on a member of Congress. This is for the attention of the American public.

"Half the world apart, we are still inseparable"

In addition to the silent stations on weekends, Hong Kong people's organizations around the world also called on local Hong Kong people to respond to different actions according to the situation in the country where they are located. The Hong Kong People's Organization in the UK calls on Hong Kong people in the UK to register as voters. In the UK local elections in May this year, they will elect MPs who can represent their own values, and express their opinions to MPs in their constituencies in a "one person, one letter" approach.

The Hong Kong People's Organization in the United States also launched a joint action, calling on the U.S. government to respond to the recommendations of the U.S. Congressional-Executive Committee on China (CECC) report and sanction prosecutors involved in political prosecutions in Hong Kong, as well as designated judges under the National Security Law who participated in undermining the rule of law in Hong Kong.

They all called on Hong Kong people, no matter where they are, to continue to write letters to political prisoners in Hong Kong to directly express their concern and support.

Chloe said: In the future, more and more brothers and sisters will be sentenced. Whether it is the more famous defendants in the 47 case or even brothers who have not been noticed by so many people, we hope to give them support and encouragement. Although we are half a world away, we still want our support to reach all siblings. So the most direct way for us is to be a "letter writer" and become a pen pal of the siblings inside the wall, so that they know that the separated Hong Kong people still never leave them.

Ariel said that Chinese human rights lawyers Xu Zhiyong and Ding Jiaxi were also recently sentenced to 14 years and 12 years in prison for "subversion of state power". She worries that Hong Kong judges will re-sentence 47 democrats with the same standard in the future. She believes that it is necessary to keep the international community's attention to the "47 cases" and warn Hong Kong judges that "the whole world is watching, so don't mess around." .

She said that as an overseas Hong Kong citizen, this is also what should be done.
