维吾尔活动人士 Rushan Abbas 接受 CIVICUS Lens 专访：妹妹 Gulshan Abbas 自 2018 年被带走后音信全无，当局 2020 年承认其被秘密判刑 20 年CIVICUS Lens interviews Uyghur activist Rushan Abbas: sister Gulshan Abbas vanished after 2018 detention, authorities admitted a secret 20-year sentence in 2020
CIVICUS Lens 2026 年 10 月 19 日刊发了对维吾尔裔美国活动人士 Rushan Abbas 的专访（她是“争取维吾尔运动”Campaign for Uyghurs 创办人兼执行主任、世界维吾尔代表大会执行委员会主席）。据 Rushan Abbas 在专访中讲述：2018 年 9 月 5 日，她在华盛顿哈德逊研究所公开讨论对维吾尔人的大规模拘留；几天后，她的妹妹 Gulshan Abbas——退休医生、两个孩子的母亲、四个孩子的祖母、从未参与政治——被中国当局带走。[1]CIVICUS Lens published an interview on October 19, 2026 with Rushan Abbas, a Uyghur American activist, founder and executive director of Campaign for Uyghurs and chair of the Executive Committee of the World Uyghur Congress. According to Abbas in the interview, on September 5, 2018, days after she spoke publicly at the Hudson Institute in Washington DC about the mass detention of Uyghurs, her sister Gulshan Abbas — a retired physician, mother of two and grandmother of four who had never been political — was taken away by Chinese authorities.

为什么重要WHY IT MATTERS
这起事件值得记录，有两个原因。其一，时间点与归因：当事人把妹妹被带走的时间点放在她公开谈论拘留问题几天之后，并将其定性为跨境镇压——以家人为代价让流亡海外的发声者闭嘴的手段；这是能查到的针对该案的最新当事人公开陈述。其二，验证的层次要说清：这是倡导性专访里的个人陈述，“报复性执法”的定性没有独立第三方的调查证据；Gulshan 本人 8 年来从未公开露面，当局除承认判刑外也未公布案卷。故本记录按既有口径标“持续核实”，记录的是专访内容与她的讲述，而非已证实的案件事实。[1]This case is worth recording for two reasons. First, the timing and attribution: Abbas places her sister's detention days after she publicly discussed the detentions and frames it as transnational repression — punishing an exile activist through her family; this is the latest on-the-record account of the case from the person closest to it. Second, the verification layer must be stated plainly: this is a personal account in an advocacy interview, with no independent third-party investigation corroborating the "retaliation" framing; Gulshan Abbas has not been seen publicly in eight years, and apart from acknowledging the sentence, the authorities have released no case details. This record is therefore graded "under ongoing verification" and documents the interview and her account, not established facts of the case. [1]
详细记录Full report
据 Rushan Abbas 在专访中讲述：她 1989 年赴美求学；1990 年代初她开始与美国政界人士接触后，其父——乌鲁木齐的一名高级学者——59 岁被解聘，她认为这是对她倡导活动的报复。2018 年 9 月 5 日，她在哈德逊研究所的公开座谈会上谈论对维吾尔人的大规模拘留；几天后，妹妹 Gulshan Abbas 被中国当局带走。妹妹是退休医生，两个孩子的母亲、四个孩子的祖母，“从未参与过政治”。[1]
专访中她说：2019 年 12 月，官媒 CGTN 否认她妹妹的存在，指责她“编造案例、在海外散布谣言”；2020 年 12 月，当局终于承认 Gulshan 被秘密判处 20 年有期徒刑——在她看来是“捏造罪名”。此后至今：没有她妹妹的照片或视频；无人能探视；没有任何关于其健康或状况的独立报告。[1]
除了妹妹一案，专访中她还说：妹妹被拘后她辞掉工作全职从事倡导；此后持续遭遇网络攻击、名誉诽谤、伪造法庭文件、骚扰恐吓；有人在 YouTube 上发布视频要求处死她和她的丈夫；她收到过询问“希望被什么颜色的步枪射杀”的邮件；出回忆录后，亚马逊上出现冒用她名义的假书。以上均为她单方讲述，无独立核实。[1]
核实说明：本记录记录的是 CIVICUS Lens 10 月 19 日刊发的倡导性专访内容。核心事实（2018 年被带走、2020 年被判 20 年）均来自 Rushan Abbas 的个人陈述；8 年来无人见过 Gulshan Abbas 本人，当局除承认判刑外未公布任何案卷细节，CGTN 曾在 2019 年否认该人存在——案情存在高度争议，本记录定性为持续核实，继续关注是否有独立调查或官方信息。[1]
According to Abbas in the interview, she left for the United States in 1989; in the early 1990s, after she began working with US politicians, her father — a senior academic in Ürümchi — lost his job at age 59, which she describes as retaliation for her advocacy. On September 5, 2018, she spoke at a public panel at the Hudson Institute about the mass detention of Uyghurs; days later, her sister Gulshan Abbas was taken by Chinese authorities. Her sister is a retired physician, a mother of two and a grandmother of four, who "had never been political". [1]
Abbas says that in December 2019, state media outlet CGTN denied her sister existed and accused her of "making up cases and spreading rumours overseas"; in December 2020, the authorities finally acknowledged that Gulshan had been secretly sentenced to 20 years in prison — on what Abbas calls fabricated charges. Since then: no picture or video of her sister; no one has been able to visit her; no independent report on her health or wellbeing has been received. [1]
Beyond her sister's case, Abbas says in the interview that after Gulshan's detention she quit her job to campaign full time; since then she has faced cyberattacks, defamation, fabricated court documents, harassment and intimidation; a video appeared on YouTube calling for the execution of her and her husband; she received emails asking what colour rifle she would prefer to be shot with; after her memoir was published, fake books claiming to tell her life story appeared on Amazon. All of these are her own accounts, independently unverified. [1]
Verification note: this record documents an advocacy interview published by CIVICUS Lens on October 19. The core facts (the 2018 detention and the 2020 20-year sentence) come solely from Rushan Abbas's personal account; Gulshan Abbas has not been seen by anyone in eight years, the authorities have released no case-file details beyond acknowledging the sentence, and CGTN denied the person's existence in 2019 — the case is highly contested. This record is therefore graded "under ongoing verification", and this site will continue to watch for independent investigations or official information. [1]
