Abdurusul and Elkun defend Nurmuhemmet Yasin
Photograph of Kaiser Abdurusul, president of the Uyghur Centre (2006-14), on the left, and Aziz Isa Elkun, secretary of the Uyghur Centre (2017-) posing in front of a banner of the Free the Wild Pigeon Campaign. This campaign raised awareness about Uyghur writer Nurmuhemmet Yasin, author of the story Wild Pigeon, who was arrested in late 2004 by the Chinese government and sentenced to ten years of prison for inciting “separatism”. He allegedly died in prison, in 2011. This photograph was taken during the 2nd Congress of the Uyghur Centre, which was held simultaneously with the Ural-Altay PEN Network Conference on 20-24 February 2011 in Budapest.
