ethnic Kazakhs in China

In Almaty, Kazakhstan's former capital and largest city, a group of mostly old women have continued to protest Chinese policies in Xinjiang.

Bilash headed a group advocating for greater attention to the ethnic Kazakhs detained in China’s camps in Xinjiang. It got him in trouble with the Kazakh government.

New revelations bring to light financial abuses of those interned in China’s “training centers” in Xinjiang.

Murager Alimuly and Qaster Musakhanuly were given one-year prison sentences, but a Kazakh court declined to deport them.

A court in Zharkent decided to not deport Tilek Tabarikuly, another ethnic Kazakh who escaped across the border with China.

Facing monumental challenges, the volunteers of Atajurt have dedicated themselves to advocating for those detained in Xinjiang.

Serikzhan Bilash was released with a fine and a promise to end his activism for ethnic Kazakhs detained in China.

A judge quickly agreed to send the case to Almaty; Serikzhan Bilash is charged with inciting violence against Chinese.

Sauytbay has reportedly left Kazakhstan for Sweden, still seeking asylum after blowing the whistle on China's Xinjiang camps.

China’s crackdown on Muslims in its far west has become a domestic issue for the Kazakh government.

Under house arrest, Serikzhan Bilash says authorities made him sign blank documents.
